Training apparatus

Abstract

The present invention provides a training apparatus for building up muscles of mainly the upper extremities and the trunk, and more particularly to an apparatus suitable for judo training. The present invention includes: a bar 2 longer than a shoulder width of a training exerciser; a press operation section 3 which is rotatably attached to an intermediate portion of the bar 2 with a rotation shaft 7 perpendicular to the bar 2 , and which is formed in a way that the training exerciser operates the press operation section 3 by grasping portions on both sides of the rotation shaft 7 ; and a load application section 14 which applies a load to both ends of the bar 2 , the load acting against a pressing force applied to the bar 2 with the press operation section 3.

1 . A training apparatus comprising: 
 a bar longer than a shoulder width of a training exerciser;    a press operation section which is rotatably attached to an intermediate portion of the bar with a rotation shaft perpendicular to the bar, and which is formed in a way that the training exerciser operates the press operation section by grasping portions on both sides of the rotation shaft; and    a load application section which applies a load to both ends of the bar, the load acting against a pressing force applied to the bar via the press operation section.    
   
   
       2 . The training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the press operation section includes a rotational member, which is rotatably attached to the bar with the rotation shaft, and a pair of handles, each of which is rotatably attached to the rotational member with a spindle parallel to the rotation shaft.  
   
   
       3 . The training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein 
 the press operation section is capable of moving to a position where the press operation section rotates about a central axis of the bar at substantially 180°, and    when a pulling force is applied to the bar with the press operation section at the position, a load acting against the pulling force is applied to the bar by the load application section.    
   
   
       4 . The training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, in place of the press operation section, a press operation section for one hand operation can be rotatably attached to the bar with the rotation shaft.  
   
   
       5 . The training apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the pair of handles are capable of being attached to the rotational member in a way that one of the handles is positioned more away from the bar than the other of the handles with a distance in an axial direction of the rotation shaft.  
   
   
       6 . The training apparatus according to  claim 1 , comprising an amount-of-exercise display section which calculates an amount-of-exercise of the training exerciser and displays the calculated amount-of-exercise.  
   
   
       7 . The training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a doll representing a virtual opponent is attachable to the bar in a state that the doll is placed in front of the training exerciser, and faces with the training exerciser.  
   
   
       8 . A training apparatus comprising: 
 a bar longer than a shoulder width of a training exerciser; and    a plurality of elastic members connecting a surface on which the training exerciser stands to both ends of the bar;    wherein each of the plurality of elastic members allows, within a limitation of elasticity, up-and-down movements of the bar and twists thereof, and applies a load to the bar, the load acting against upward movements of the bar and the twists thereof.    
   
   
       9 . The training apparatus according to  claim 8 , comprising a stage which is placed on a floor surface, and on which the training exerciser steps, 
 wherein a lower end portion of each of the plurality of elastic members is attached to the stage.    
   
   
       10 . A training apparatus comprising: 
 a bar longer than a shoulder width of a training exerciser; and    a plurality of elastic members which are attached to both ends of the bar, and which connect the bar between two fixtures arranged at both sides of a space where the training exerciser performs training,    wherein each of the plurality of elastic members allows free movements of the bar within a limitation of elasticity, and applies a load to the bar, the load acting against the movements.    
   
   
       11 . A training apparatus comprising: 
 a body binding section which is bound around the body of a training exerciser; and    a plurality of elastic members which connect the body binding section to fixtures arranged around a space where the training exerciser performs training,    wherein each of the plurality of elastic members allows twists of the body binding section within a limitation of elasticity, and applies a load to the body binding section, the load acting against the twists.
