Method of increasing lung capacity for enhanced oxygen exchange using upper appendage during positioning

Abstract

A method of increasing lung capacity by increasing lung surface area for enhanced oxygen exchange using upper appendage positioning during exercise, includes the steps of: (a) holding a gripping device with both hands above the shoulder planes while positioning upper appendages above the shoulder planes, and, (b) simultaneously performing leg exercise.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 14 / 120,112 (Attorney Docket NO. ABS-102C), filed on Apr. 28, 2014, and titled “Apparatus For Activating Particular Muscles”, by James R. Winbush and Mahtab Zinati, which is itself a continuation-in-part of previously co-pending, now issued U.S. Pat. No. 8,715,145 (Ser. No. 12 / 027,386, filed on Nov. 12, 2010), and entitled “Exercise Apparatus For Activating The Muscles”.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]a. Field of Invention[0003]The present invention generally relates to an application, referred to in the industry as an “app”, for wireless communications devices. It has been developed to enable a subscriber (user) to quickly do the following on his / her wireless communications devices: chose a distance within which the user wishes to travel (travel limits); procure all locations of a particular outdoor activity within the selected distance; procure ranking infor...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method and apparatus for increasing lung capacity during exercise to improve oxygen exchange. The apparatus includes a back support and two stationary hand grip elements connected to it. The straps and belt can be adjusted for size, and they are elasticized and stretchable for a comfortable and snug fit. The technical effect is to enhance the user's ability to breathe and oxygenate during physical activity.

Problems solved by technology

These devices have disadvantages which will become more apparent with reference to the following disclosure.

For example, one disadvantage of a weighted wearable device is that they are often bulky and cumbersome, which may inhibit effective movement and provide resistance in a limited way while running, jogging or walking.

The prior art does not provide an effective means for isolating and targeting specific muscle groups without resistance bands or weights during running.

These exercises produce limited success, in view of the fact there are limited alternatives for duplicating the cardiovascular exercises while running.

To date, the prior art has not resolved this need with the existing cardiovascular equipment.

The prior art does not provide the benefit of increasing lung capacity while targeting the oblique and bicep muscles through a passive workout while an 5 individual is running.

Additionally, several existing cardiovascular equipment promote the natural involuntary arm swinging motion during running which contributes to reducing the individual's endurance while exercising.
