US 10,300,326 B2 · Core amortization time under tension method and apparatus

Abstract

The present invention uses a belt around the waist, elastic bands attached to the waist belt and an anchoring system to create simultaneous constant tension on the core and body movement systems during physical exercise in the three planes of motion (sagittal, transverse and frontal). The tension created causes perturbation (balance) challenges forcing the lower and upper body to work synergistically to overcome the load put on the entire muscular system. Since the tension is simultaneous, constant and multi-planar, it overloads the core and lower body movement systems (“Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex”), separately challenging the transverse abdominus, internal obliques, pelvic floor, multifidus, and deep erector spinae group while the physical exercise is being performed. By achieving this, the present invention produces superior physiological results during physical exercise for athletic training, fitness maintenance, and physical therapy and rehabilitation, in a less costly and more time-efficient manner.

Dependent claims

A core amortization time under tension system comprising:

three floor anchors, configured to be placed in a triangular configuration around a user such that two of the floor anchors are positioned behind the user and one of the floor anchors is positioned in front of the user;
a waist belt configured to be secured around the user's waist, the waist belt having two attachment loops in rear of the belt and further having two attachment loops in the front of the belt;
a Y assembly secured to the two attachment loops in the front of the belt;
and
three elastic bands, each elastic band configured to be secured to one of the three floor anchors and the waist belt, such that two of the elastic bands secure the two floor anchors positioned behind the user to the two attachment loops in the rear of the belt, and the third elastic band secures the floor anchor positioned in front of the user to an end loop secured to the Y assembly.

A core amortization time under tension system comprising:

three floor anchors, configured to be placed in a triangular configuration around a user such that two of the floor anchors are positioned behind the user and one of the floor anchors is positioned in front of the user;
a waist belt configured to be secured around the user's waist, the waist belt having two attachment loops in rear of the belt and further having two attachment loops in the front of the belt, wherein the waist belt is a two-piece belt defined by a front belt component and a rear belt component, the waist belt further includes a first fastener clip configured to close the waist belt around the user and configured to adjust a rear length of the waist belt around the user's waist, and the waist belt further includes a second fastener clip configured on the waist belt to adjust a front length of the waist belt around such that a position of the Y assembly on the waist belt is adjustable;
a Y assembly secured to the two attachment loops in the front of the belt;
and
three elastic bands, each elastic bands configured to be secured to one of the three floor anchors and the waist belt, such that two of the elastic bands secure the two floor anchors positioned behind the user to the two attachment loops in the rear of the belt, and the third elastic band secures the floor anchor positioned in front of the user to an end loop secured to the Y assembly.
