Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give a load as aerobic exercise to muscles through kinetic resistance by the weight load of the body and a loaded weight, when walking while pushing a handcart by hand during walking as health promotion action, and to thereby promote health effects by walking.SOLUTION: In the handcart, a handle 5 that a walker grips is installed in one end of a connecting rod 4, and wheels 1 are installed in the other end. Near the wheels 1, a water tank 3 with water filled therein or a weight made of metal, concrete, plastic, wood, etc. are loaded. The load as aerobic exercise is applied to the muscles through kinetic resistance by the weight load of the loaded weight, and the health effects are promoted by walking.

Description

  The present invention provides a load as aerobic exercise to various muscles by exercise resistance due to weight load of the main body and a loaded weight (weight) by walking while pushing with a hand at the time of walking action for health promotion. A wheelbarrow that enhances the health benefits of walking.

  “Walking while pushing with your hand during the walking action to increase your health gives the muscles a load of aerobic exercise due to the exercise resistance caused by the weight load of the body and the loaded weight (weight). Since the idea of “wheelbarrow that enhances the effect” seems to have never been considered in any health-related industry or sports-related industry, there seems to be no related literature.

In recent years, "walking as a way to increase health" has become active, but as a way to increase the effect of aerobic exercise, only walking such as walking fast and shaking hands greatly has been done It was.
However, with such a slight increase in exercise load, the effect as aerobic exercise could hardly be expected.

  The present invention provides a load as aerobic exercise to various muscles by exercise resistance due to weight load of the main body and a loaded weight (weight) by walking while pushing with a hand at the time of walking action for health promotion. “Improve the health benefits of walking activities”.

  The present invention is a handcart composed of “wheel 1, axle 2, water tank 3, connecting rod 4, handle 5” as shown in “FIG. 1” and “FIG. 2”. It is as follows.

The description regarding “wheel 1” is as follows.
1. It is mounted on both ends of the axle 2 and its diameter is about 20 cm, and the distance between both wheels is about 30 cm.
2. It is assumed to be composed of two wheels on the left and right, but it may be composed of only one wheel at the center or a structure of multiple wheels such as three or four wheels.

The description regarding “axle 2” is as follows.
1. It is fixed to the front end of the connecting rod 4 so as to be orthogonal to the connecting rod 4, and the wheels 1 are attached to the left and right ends thereof, respectively, and the left and right length is about 35 cm.

The description regarding “water tank 3” is as follows.
1. It is assumed that the loading position is mounted so as to be the upper part of the axle 2 during use, and the bottom part is fixed to the axle 2 and the connecting rod 4.
2. A water tank structure capable of storing approximately 20 liters of water in the interior, and a water inlet / outlet 6 provided at the top thereof, and the weight load being arbitrarily adjusted by the amount of water 7 injected into the water tank. .
3. Instead of “Water tank 3”, a “heavy object made of metal such as iron or a small box enclosing a liquid such as concrete, plastic, wood and water” may be loaded. It is assumed that the object is a member having an appropriate weight of about 1 to 5 kg per piece rather than a single fixed weight, and the load weight can be adjusted by loading a desired number of these members.

The description regarding the “connecting rod 4” is as follows.
1. The axle 2 is fixed to the front end, and the handle 5 is fixed to the rear end.
2. The maximum overall length is about 150 cm, and the structure is basically a single rod-like structure, but it may be a rod-like structure composed of a two-stage, three-stage stretchable structure or a folded structure.
3. The shortest overall length from the front end of the main body to the rear end of the handle in the case of the telescopic type or the folding type is shortened to about 60 to 80 cm.
4. Regarding “its thickness and strength”, “thickness that can be pushed and pulled freely without deformation or rattling in a state where a water tank 3 having a weight of about 20 kg as a maximum weight is loaded. And strength ".

The description regarding the “handle 5” is as follows.
1. It is fixed to the rear end of the connecting rod 4 so as to be orthogonal to the connecting rod 4, and its left and right length is approximately 35 cm, which is approximately equal to the left and right length of the axle 2.
2. The shape may be either a linear shape or a curved shape for improving grip.

The “use method of the present invention” is described based on “FIG. 1” and “FIG. 2” as follows.
1. In the user of the present invention, that is, “the person who performs the walking act for the purpose of increasing health while pushing the wheelbarrow”, the physical strength varies widely due to individual differences such as age, gender and physique difference. There are differences.
Therefore, before starting the walking act, each person must adjust the load as aerobic exercise by adjusting the weight of the main body, that is, the amount of water in the aquarium 3, to an appropriate one according to their physical strength and physical condition. is there.
2. Further, when the connecting rod 4 has a rod-like structure composed of a telescopic structure or a folded structure, the length thereof needs to be adjusted to an appropriate length according to each person's height and preference.
3. The user who has finished the above adjustment may walk at an appropriate speed while holding the handle and pushing the handcart.

  About the effect of this invention, it is as the following 1-6.

1. The present invention is not a tool intended for muscle training or the like in healthy people, but is intended to promote health in the user, “load resistance load caused by the weight of the main body and water in the aquarium”, that is, “when walking. This is a tool that applies a light load to the muscles of each part of the body as shown in the following points (a) to (b) by utilizing the load resistance load in the front-rear direction generated by the action of pushing and pulling the handle part that occurs naturally.
B. Lightly load various muscles such as “forearm muscle, triceps, large pectoral muscle, abdominal muscle, thigh muscle, lower leg muscle” by pushing forward.
B) Applying light loads to various muscles such as “forearm muscles, biceps, latissimus dorsi, trapezius, thigh muscles, leg muscles” by pulling backwards.
2. Therefore, when the user is walking on the flat ground, both the load of Lee and Lo will be applied accordingly, but when the user is walking uphill, the load of Lee is walking downhill. If this is the case, the load on B will be more intense, and each will have a corresponding effect as an aerobic exercise.
3. By increasing the walking speed, the load on each muscle can be further increased, and the effect of freely adjusting the load can be obtained by adjusting the speed.
4. Since the weight load in the vertical direction is not applied to the ankle, knee, hip joint, spine, etc., even if walking is continued for a long time, these parts are not damaged. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an effect of continuous habitual use over a long period that is indispensable for improving health.

  The “best mode for carrying out the invention” is as follows.
