Description

  The present invention relates to an exercise device, and more particularly to a device for supporting a body and assisting a stretching exercise or the like.

  When the flexibility of the muscle is lowered, various problems such as limitation of the range of motion of the joint and distortion in the posture occur. Therefore, stretching exercise is widely known as an exercise for eliminating this and making the muscles in a good state, and is widely used in warm-up, cool-down, rehabilitation, etc. before and after sports.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an exercise tool called a foam roller having a long cylindrical shape has been known as a means for assisting such a stretch exercise (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The foam roller is used with the trunk of the body placed on the floor in a state of being tilted on the floor, and the user takes a supine posture on the roller and attaches the foot to the floor to support the body. Perform various exercises.

Utility Model Registration No. 3143166 ([0002], Fig. 1)

  In the foam roller as described above, various exercises such as shaking the trunk and moving the extremities while balancing against the rolling of the roller, in addition to the effects of normal stretching exercise, the muscles of the trunk Various effects such as strengthening the group, improving the sense of balance and operability of the body can be obtained.

  However, the conventional foam roller has a substantially circular cross section, and the contact surface with the body is an arc, so that the body is not stable on the roller. There is a case where it becomes too tense so as not to slide down and the exercise cannot be performed smoothly.

  In addition, since the foam roller itself is easy to roll on the floor, it may be difficult for a person with a reduced motor function such as a beginner or an elderly person to place the body on the roller.

  Furthermore, the user can expect the effect of improving the range of motion of the shoulder joint by increasing the flexibility of the muscles around the scapula by greatly moving both arms with the body lying on the foam roller. In the conventional foam roller, the user's body and the roller interfere with each other and the movement of the scapula is restricted, so that the shoulder joint cannot be moved sufficiently. In addition, regarding the movement around the shoulder joint, the above-mentioned foam roller can only perform simple movements such as a user turning his arm or reciprocating vertically or horizontally, and this improves the movement effect. There was room.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the object of the present invention is to enable anyone to easily perform an effective stretching exercise by solving one or more of the problems associated with the conventional exercise equipment. It is to provide an exercise tool capable of performing the above.
