Abstract

Provided is a method that is capable of strengthening muscles very effectively. The method is a muscle training method including: asking a user to perform underwater exercise while winding a belt around at least one of four limbs of the user and applying specific pressure to restrict blood circulation at a muscle of the user without stopping the blood circulation. The blood circulation of the muscle of the user is appropriately restricted so as to produce growth hormones more and additionally a load can be given effectively from motion less than on the ground, and from the synergic action of them, muscles can be strengthened very easily.

         4 . The muscle training method according to  claim 3 , wherein while receiving the arm pressurization, the user is asked to perform specific swim exercise including an arm/leg propulsion exercise to move forward by making strokes with arms and by kicking water, and an arm propulsion exercise to move forward by making strokes with the arms only. 
     
     
         5 . The muscle training method according to  claim 4 , wherein the specific swim exercise includes: a first step of performing the arm/leg propulsion exercise of 200 yards continuously; a second step of performing the arm/leg propulsion exercise of 50 yards four times while having a specific stop duration therebetween; and a third step of performing the arm propulsion exercise of 50 yards, followed by the arm/leg propulsion exercise of 50 yards while having a specific stop duration therebetween. 
     
     
         6 . The muscle training method according to  claim 5 , wherein the arm/leg propulsion exercise in the second step is performed with intensity higher than in the arm/leg propulsion exercise in the first step. 
     
     
         7 . The muscle training method according to  claim 5 , wherein the arm/leg propulsion exercise in the third step is performed with intensity higher than in the arm/leg propulsion exercise in the second step. 
     
     
         8 . The muscle training method according to  claim 4 , wherein the specific swim exercise includes: a first step of performing the arm/leg propulsion exercise of 200 yards continuously; a fourth step of performing the arm propulsion exercise of 75 yards, followed by the arm/leg propulsion exercise of 75 yards; and a fifth step of performing the arm/leg propulsion exercise of 25 yards four times while having a specific stop duration therebetween. 
     
     
         9 . The muscle training method according to  claim 8 , wherein the arm/leg propulsion exercise in the fourth step is performed with intensity higher than in the arm/leg propulsion exercise in the first step. 
     
     
         10 . The muscle training method according to  claim 8 , wherein the arm/leg propulsion exercise in the fifth step is performed with intensity equal to intensity of the arm/leg propulsion exercise in the fourth step. 
     
     
         11 . The muscle training method according to  claim 2 , wherein the user is asked to perform walking exercise in water while setting the specific pressure for the arm pressurization at a value exceeding 120 mmHg. 
     
     
         12 . The muscle training method according to  claim 1 , wherein the belt is wound around a base of a leg of the user and specific pressure is applied thereto to restrict blood circulation at a muscle of the leg of the user without stopping the blood circulation for leg pressurization. 
     
     
         13 . The muscle training method according to  claim 12 , wherein the specific pressure is set in a range of 100 to 140 mmHg. 
     
     
         14 . The muscle training method according to  claim 13 , wherein while receiving the leg pressurization, the user is asked to perform specific swim exercise including an arm/leg propulsion exercise to move forward by making strokes with arms and by kicking water, and a leg propulsion exercise to move forward by kicking water only. 
     
     
         15 . The muscle training method according to  claim 14 , wherein the specific swim exercise includes: a sixth step of performing the arm/leg propulsion exercise of 25 yards four times while having a specific stop duration therebetween; and a seventh step of performing the leg propulsion exercise of 50 yards, followed by the arm/leg propulsion exercise of 50 yards while having a specific stop duration therebetween. 
     
     
         16 . The muscle training method according to  claim 15 , wherein the seventh step is repeated twice. 
     
     
         17 . The muscle training method according to  claim 14 , wherein the specific swim exercise includes: an eighth step of performing the leg propulsion exercise of 75 yards, followed by the arm/leg propulsion exercise of 75 yards while having a specific stop duration therebetween; and a ninth step of performing the arm/leg propulsion exercise of 25 yards four times while having a specific stop duration therebetween. 
     
     
         18 . The muscle training method according to  claim 12 , wherein the user is asked to perform walking exercise in water while setting the specific pressure for the leg pressurization at a value exceeding 140 mmHg. 
     
     
         19 .
