Device to carry out physical exercise

Abstract

A device to carry out physical exercise that comprises a double-sided support (1), with one upper and one lower side. one of which is considerably rigid and the other includes an inflatable flexible element (3). The device comprises resting means for the support that allow users to carry out aerobic and cardio exercises and to work on their physical condition in general using the considerably rigid side. The device of the invention is reversible and allows users to work on the areas of aerobic, cardio, balance, proprioception and coordination.

Description

[0001] This invention refers to a device that allows users to carry out exercises to improve their physical condition, training and rehabilitation, which specifically works the areas dedicated to aerobic, cardio, balance, proprioception and coordination. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] There are devices that allow users to carry out physical exercises that comprise a plastic support with a flat side for aerobic and cardio exercises. Said devices, popularly known as “Steps”, comprise a contact platform or an element made of plastic material on the side on which said exercises are carried out. The height of the device is adjusted using supplements that are added on the base of the support. [0003] There are devices that allow users to carry out physical exercises that comprise an inflatable flexible element shaped like a ball to work balance and proprioception. Said devices present the inconvenience of being very unstable as well as the fact that users cannot do exercises standing u...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011] The object of this invention is to develop a device to carry out physical exercises improving the physical condition in general and aerobic, cardio, balance, proprioception and co-ordination areas specifically. The device also solves the aforementioned inconveniences and presents the advantages described hereunder.

Problems solved by technology

Said devices present the inconvenience of being very unstable as well as the fact that users cannot do exercises standing up.

However, this element is designed for foot massage and in no case for performing balance exercises.

There are also devices that allow users to carry out physical exercises that comprise an inflatable flexible element but present the inconvenience that they are always auxiliary to other devices, and do not allow users to work balance in an integral manner.

The device disclosed in the American patent presents the inconvenience that it is not suitable for carrying out aerobic and cardio exercises, nor for improving the physical condition in general, since it is designed for working balance, proprioception and coordination specifically.

Furthermore, given the fact that it includes an inflatable flexible element with a semi-spherical shape, over 20 cm high, the device works on the users' balance in a very unstable manner.

The semi-spherical shape confers the device a very small support surface that is extremely unstable, increasing the risk of injuries and making it difficult for users to perform exercises laying down or leaning on the device.

Furthermore, the circular shape of the flexible element makes pupils disoriented in physical exercises classes.

Another inconvenience included in the device disclosed in the American patent is that in order to modify the stability of the inflatable flexible element the users must change the inner pressure, which is very impractical in many cases since it involves interrupting the physical exercise class.
