Abstract
A resistance harness that allows 360° of resistance around the body. The strap design allows rings to slide from anterior to posterior or medial to lateral. The rings enable concentric, eccentric, or isometric resistance. This sliding ability allows for resistance to be constant in one direction or changeable. As the ring slides under tension, the muscular recruitment needed to resist will change as the force angle of the ring slides and changes position around the body.
Claims5
A resistance harness comprising:
- first and second vertical support straps each having a fixed length and spaced apart by upper and lower intermediate horizontally disposed straps having an adjustable snap therebetween;
- a first waist strap extending from an end of said upper horizontally disposed strap and configured to extend around the torso of an individual and terminating on an opposite end of said upper horizontally disposed strap, at least two front upper pull rings slidably positioned along said first waist strap and each said pull ring movable along said first waist strap between an anterior position and a posterior position;
- a second waist strap extending from an end of said lower horizontally disposed strap and configured to extend around the torso of the individual and terminating on an opposite end of said lower horizontally disposed strap, at least two front lower pull rings slidably positioned along said second waist strap and movable along said second waist strap between an anterior position and a posterior position;
- a first shoulder strap having a first end coupled to said first vertical support, said first vertical support strap configured to extend over a shoulder torso of the individual and securing said first and second horizontal straps in a spaced apart position along the back of the torso;
- a second shoulder strap having a first end coupled to said second vertical support, said second vertical support strap configured to extend over a shoulder torso of the individual and securing said first and second horizontal straps in a spaced apart position along the back of the torso;
- a first shoulder strap front pull ring slidably along said first shoulder strap, a second shoulder strap front pull ring slidably along said second shoulder strap;
- a rear upper pull ring attached to said first waist strap and movable along a posterior position between said first and second shoulder strap;
- a rear lower pull ring attached to said second waist strap and movable along a posterior position between said first and second shoulder strap;
- wherein said harness is configured to be secured to the torso of an individual and said pull rings are constructed and arranged to slide from anterior to posterior or medial to lateral whereby said pull rings are used to enable concentric, eccentric, or isometric resistance.
