Exercise apparatus

Abstract

The present invention is to provide an exercise apparatus which is applicable to a user including athletes and ordinary persons by providing an appropriate load. The exercise apparatus of the present invention for exercising muscles includes an exercise main body and a loading part. In addition, the loading part is configured to move in a direction where a load is applied to the muscles and in a direction where the muscles are relaxed.

1 . An exercise apparatus for exercising muscles, comprising:
 an exercise main body; and   a loading part,   the loading part configured to move in directions where a load is applied to the muscles and where the muscles are relaxed.   
   
   
       2 . The exercise apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein a latissimus dorsi muscle, rhomboideus muscle, deltoid muscle, biceps brachii muscle and trapezial muscle are mainly exercised,
 said exercise apparatus comprising:   a seat part on which a user is to sit;   an exercise part including:
 a pair of grip means which a user is to take hold of with both hands that are away from each other by a predetermined distance, the pair of grip means being arranged at a predetermined distance away from one another; and 
 an arm being positioned parallel to a horizontal surface of the seat part, the arm and the grip means being integrated; and 
   a loading part which gives a load to the exercise main body, the loading part being coupled to the exercise main body,   the loading part configured to give the exercise part a vertical, downward load with respect to the seat part, and to be movable upward with respect to the seat part.   
   
   
       3 . The exercise apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein a greater pectoral muscle, triceps brachii muscle and deltoid muscle are mainly exercised,
 said exercise apparatus comprising:   a seat part on which a user is to sit;   an exercise main body including an arm part being positioned surrounding the seat part, the exercise main body capable of being held by a user while the user being sitting and stretching both arms upward; and   a loading part which couples the exercise main body to the exercise main body and which gives forward and backward loads to the exercise main body, the loading part being positioned parallel to and behind the exercise main body,   the loading part configured to give the forward load with respect to the loading part and to be movable backward with respect to the loading part.   
   
   
       4 . The exercise apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein back muscles and a biceps brachii muscle are mainly exercised,
 said exercise apparatus comprising:   a seat part on which a user is to sit, the seat part being inclined forward;   an exercise main body including arm parts which a user is to hold while stretching his/her arms, the exercise main body being positioned above the user; and   a loading part which gives the exercise main body a vertical load, the loading part being coupled to the exercise main body through a stripe-shaped body,   the loading part configured to give a vertical, downward load to the exercise main body during an exercise, and to be movable upward vertically.   
   
   
       5 . The exercise apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein muscles around a hip joint and hip, an adducent muscle, and abducent muscle are mainly exercised,
 an exercise main body including an arm part on which a user is to put a leg and which is adapted to move the leg in a circular motion around a base of the leg; and   a loading part which gives a load to the exercise main body, the loading part being coupled to the exercise main body;   the loading part configured to give the load in a downward circular motion, and to be movable in an upward circular motion.   
   
   
       6 . The exercise apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein a quadriceps muscle, gluteus maximum muscle, hamstring muscle and triceps surae muscle are mainly exercised,
 said exercise apparatus comprising:   an exercise main body including a seating on which a user is to put a hip and legs and a backrest being positioned substantially parallel to the seating, the exercise main body being positioned at a predetermined angle with respect to a horizontal surface of an installation site; and   a loading device which gives a upward load along the seating, the loading device being positioned above the seating of the exercise main body,   the loading part configured to give the upward load along the seating and to be movable downward along the seating.   
   
   
       7 . The exercise apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein muscles around a hop joint and adducent muscles are mainly exercised,
 said exercise apparatus comprising:   a seat part to which a user is to sit; and   a loading part which gives a load to legs of a user in a direction where the legs close, the loading part being provided on the seat part;   the loading part configured to give the load in a direction where the legs close and to be movable in a direction where the legs open.
