GYMNASTICS INSTALLATION WITH ROCKING MOTIONS
The invention relates to a gymnastics and therapy multifunctional installation by realizing rocking movements of the human body, wherein the installation comprises, configuration of liquid-containing spaces (1) by placing adjustable walls (2) with integrated support bars (3), a frame support base (4) in which a variable support frame is mounted, movable holders (52) mounted on the support frame and on the support bars (3) for mounting support components of the human body and cables (9), wherein on cables (9) a substrate base (10) is connected for the assembly of a substrate consisting various parts, where hand (16) and feet (15) parts of the substrate are used separately for exercises. A multifunctional device realizes the rocking movements by generating wave and currents through alternative components assembled into a chamber (24), transmitting movement in various system components and moving through arms (34) the frame support base (4) and support bars (3).
ADJUSTABLE SEAT DEVICE FOR A SWIMMING POOL
The invention relates to an adjustable seat device (10) that includes: a linear support (38); at least one upper bearing means of the linear support configured to bear on a horizontal surface at the edge of a swimming pool and at least one lower bearing means of the linear support configured to bear on an inner wall of the swimming pool; a seat (28); an upper seat rod (36), having one end provided with a first seat slide (29) configured to slide along the linear support and a locking means (30) for locking the first slide in position on the linear support; a lower seat rod (37), having one end provided with a second seat slide (31) configured to slide along the linear support and a locking means (32) for locking the second slide in position on the linear support,
the two seat rods jointly supporting the seat and being connected to one another by a swivel link (35).
The seat slides slide independently along the linear support, the joint sliding of the seat slides adjusting the height of the seat and the respective sliding of the seat slides adjusting at least the separation between the seat and the linear support.
Methods of improving respiratory effectiveness
Methods for improving respiratory effectiveness including inhaling a breath and, while continuously holding the breath, swimming for a period of at least 10 seconds without exhaling or further inhaling, and inhaling a breath and, without exhaling or further inhaling, adopting, and holding for a period of at least 3 seconds, at least one stretch position, which requires constant muscular exertion to maintain.
SWIMMING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS
Disclosed is a swimming assistance apparatus, which is worn on a user's both feet to provide the user with buoyancy, such that the user can float on water and swim in a good swimming style while repeatedly moving the waist from side to side like a fish, thereby reinforcing the user's waist muscles. Persons who have knee joint arthralgia or backache or persons who have disability in the lower body can use the swimming assistance apparatus for medical purposes, such as pain relief or treatment.
TETHERED RESISTANCE SWIM TRAINING APPARATUS
An aquatic exercise apparatus for applying a resistive force to an exercising swimmer, the apparatus includes a bracket mounted to a vertically oriented surface located above a pool of water, a container, an operational assembly comprising at least one upper pulley attached to the bracket and at least one lower pulley attached to the container, a cord passing through the at least one upper pulley and the at least one lower pulley, and a fastener configured to attach to an animal, where the fastener is attached to a free end of the cord, and where pulling the free end of the cord moves the container upward against gravity.
WIRELESS COMMUNICATION OF SWIMMING METRICS
A wireless communications system for determining and conveying swimming metrics to swimmers and triathletes during swimming activity. The swimming metric communication system comprises a smartwatch for determining swim metrics and a head-worn device with an integrated headphone, headphone jack, or wireless headphone transmitter. The smartwatch and head-worn device utilize a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection to communicate voiced swim metrics to the user. For example, various voiced data segments are preloaded on the head-worn device and associated with unique low-bit codes, respectively. The BLE connection is used to transmit certain low-bit codes to trigger respective voiced data segments. A transmission connection between the smartwatch and headphone, and vice-versa, is established when the user's hand is out of the water (recovery) and/or when the hand passes near the face underwater (pull). Once a connection is established and codes are received, the headphone decodes the sequence of codes and plays a respective voiced swimming metric without interruption to swimming activity. The head-worn device may include sensors for improving the accuracy of the swim metrics or for determining additional swim metrics, which are communicated to the smart watch for display.
Swimming speedometer system with near-eye display
An apparatus and method for measuring a swimmer's speed and conveying the speed to the swimmer in real time includes a plurality of ultrasonic beacons each having a transducer configured to emit ultrasonic signals in a pool or other body of water within which the swimmer is swimming. A wearable, waterproof, ultrasonic receiver worn by the swimmer, receives the ultrasonic signals and generates corresponding signal data. The receiver's microcontroller captures and uses the signal data to calculate the swimmer's position and speed in real time, and conveys this information to a wearable, waterproof, user interface device worn by the swimmer, the user interface device including a near-eye display disposed on the swimmer's googles.
Ergonomic kickboard
A kickboard has a non-planar shape and comprises a primary panel with opposite support members laterally outside from the primary panel with a transitional section therebetween. The support members are at a rear longitudinal position and additional support shoulders may extend from a forward end of the primary panel along each lateral side to a respective support member. The rearward end defines an opening with a cavity formed between the primary panel, transitional sections, support shoulders and support members. In use, the kickboard provides substantially improved ergonomics and allows a swimmer to support her elbows on the support members with a portion of her forearms on the support shoulders, with arms in a bent position below the surface of the water. The configuration improves comfort while maintaining a favorable hydrodynamic swimming position and reducing shoulder stress.
Composite sporting equipment
A sporting equipment is disclosed. The sporting equipment may include a harness, and a protective plate. The protective plate may be integrally formed with the harness from a plurality of fibers that are continuous from the harness into the protective plate.
Head and neck floating support device
A water floating device that offers support for the head or neck of a user when swimming or practicing water exercises. The floating support device includes a unitary piece body made of a floating and waterproof material. The unitary piece body has a U-shape including a curved central section having a first leg on a first end and a second leg on a second end. The first leg and the second leg project from the curved central section. The first leg and the second leg angle inwardly to one another.
