Abstract
A method of increasing lung capacity by increasing lung surface area for enhanced oxygen exchange using upper appendage positioning during exercise, includes the steps of: (a) holding a gripping device with both hands above the shoulder planes while positioning upper appendages above the shoulder planes, and, (b) simultaneously performing leg exercise.
Claims20
A method of increasing lung capacity by increasing lung surface area for enhanced oxygen exchange using upper appendage positioning during exercise, which comprises:
- (a) holding a gripping device with both hands above the shoulder planes while positioning upper appendages above the shoulder planes, and,
- (b) simultaneously performing leg exercise.
A method of increasing lung capacity by increasing lung surface area for enhanced oxygen exchange using upper appendage positioning during exercise, which comprises:
- (a) holding a gripping device with both hands above the shoulder planes while positioning upper appendages above the shoulder planes, and,
- (b) simultaneously performing leg exercise,
- wherein, said gripping device is an apparatus for activating particular muscles, comprising:
- i) a belt with two ends wherein said belt is mountable on the torso region of an individual wearer, said belt having a rear portion for traversing a lower back of said individual wearer and a front portion for traversing a front of said individual wearer;
- ii) a pair of shoulder straps connected to a back support wherein each of said pair of shoulder straps includes two ends on each strap wherein at least one of said ends of each of said shoulder straps is connected to said belt and wherein another end of said shoulder straps is connected to a top portion of said back support wherein said shoulder straps may be expandable to a size for said individual wearer;
- iii) said back support positioned between and connecting to said pair of shoulder straps in a rear portion of said apparatus and said back support connecting to said belt through a back support connection means whereby said back support is mountable against said back region of said individual wearer;
- and,
- iv) at least one stationary hand grip element connected and extending from said back support mountable on back of said individual wearer and including said back support having a relatively elongated base wherein said at least one hand grip element is sized and shaped to be grasped by said individual wearer and further sized and shaped to retain said individual wearer's hands in an immovable position behind said individual wearer's neck.
The method of increasing lung capacity by increasing lung surface area for enhanced oxygen exchange using upper appendage positioning during exercise of claim 14 wherein said securing means is selected from the group consisting of a buckle, hook and loop fastener, button, buttonhole, clip, zipper, hook and eye fastener, snap, a plurality of monofilament hooks in cooperation with a plurality of monofilament loops, a magnet, a thread and combinations thereof.
