Abstract
A belt is provided with an inflatable bladder which, when inflated, is permitted to expand toward an interior of the belt and prevented by a barrier from expanding toward an exterior of the belt. A pressure gauge indicates the pressure within the bladder, and the gauge is fixedly displaced relative to the belt and the user such that the gauge may be viewed by a user when the belt is worn without significantly moving the cervical spine substantially out of a neutral posture.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates broadly to exercise equipment. More particularly, this invention relates to a belt having an inflatable bladder and a feedback mechanism to indicate to the user when the pressure in the bladder is altered by activation of the abdominal transverse muscle region.
- 2. State of the Art
- Pilates is an exercise method that improves muscle control, flexibility, coordination, strength and tone through physical and neurological mental conditioning. It works on deep (or core) abdominal muscles and the spine, the most important structure in the body and the source of the nervous system. It is a fitness regime that combines stretching and strengthening exercises designed to work the entire body in fluid movements.
- In accord with one significant pilates exercise, the participant, while preferably in a proprioceptive environment, draws in the muscles of the transverse abdomen and holds the muscular state for a period of time. It is preferable that the spine be in a close to neutral posture during the exercise. Otherwise, such abnormality in posture can cause deviation from the intended results.
- Moreover, it is often difficult for the participant to know whether the exercise is being performed properly. Particularly with pilates-type abdominal exercises, it is essential that the abdominal muscles be drawn in toward the spine, in distinction from simply ‘sucking in’ the stomach. The lack of proper feedback as to whether the exercise is being done properly is one reason it is very difficult to teach and learn several exercises which are part of the pilates method.
- It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device which assists a user in performing abdominal core muscle exercises.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a device which provides feedback to a user that an exercise is being properly performed, while the user maintains desired posture, such as during a pilates exercise.
- In accord with these objects, which will be discussed in detail below, a belt is provided with an inflatable bladder which, when inflated, is permitted to expand toward an interior space circumscribed by the belt and prevented by a barrier from expanding toward an exterior of the belt. The bladder is coupled by a short tube to an inflation bulb and a pressure gauge which indicates the pressure within the bladder. In accord with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the gauge is coupled to the belt and displaced relative thereto such that it may be viewed by a user (without use of the user's hands) when the belt is worn without significantly moving the cervical spine substantially out of a neutral posture. The displacement may be effected by use of bracket, a portion of which may be received in a pocket of the belt. The bracket may fold at a hinge to permit the belt and gauge to be collapsed together into a compact configuration for storage or travel.
- In use, the belt is snugly worn with the inflatable bladder positioned against the abdominal muscles, in distinction from directly over the stomach. The bulb is activated to inflate the bladder, e.g. to 80 to 90 psi, such that pressure is placed against the abdomen. While maintaining a posture in which the cervical spine is in a substantially neutral posture, the transverse abdominal muscles are drawn in and held for a period of time. As feedback that the muscles of the abdomen are being activated, the user can see the gauge which is positioned at a location which can be seen without significantly moving the head from the neutral position. If the exercise is being performed properly, the gauge indicates a pressure decrease while the muscles of the abdomen are drawn in, and a return to the previous pressure once the muscles are relaxed. The pressure decrease does not occur if ‘draw in’ is performed improperly, i.e., if the stomach is ‘sucked in’, but the muscles are not properly drawn in.
- In accord with various embodiments, other attachment means may be used to couple the gauge relative to the user so that the user may view the gauge during the exercise without use of the user's hands while maintaining proper physiological positioning. Furthermore, other feedback means may be used, such as sounds and/or lights that indicate to the user the pressure drop which occurs during a properly performed pilates-type abdominal exercise.
- Additional objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reference to the detailed description taken in conjunction with the provided figures.

FIG. 5 is a view similar toFIG. 3 of an alternate embodiment of the invention; and -
FIG. 6 is a section view showing the embodiment ofFIG. 5 in a collapsed configuration. - Turning now to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , abelt 10 includes aninner side 12, intended to be positioned against the user's body, and anouter side 14, intended to be positioned away from the user's body. Thebelt 10 may be made from fabric including pack cloth, leather, synthetic sheeting, or other material which will substantially conform to and maintain its girth when adjusted about the user. The belt may be elastic, inelastic, or a combination of such materials such that it is preferably readily adjustable in size about the user's waist in manners well known in the art, e.g., using hook andloop fasteners - The
inner side 12 includes afirst pocket 20 constructed of an elastic material, such as neoprene. Aninflatable bladder 22 is provided in thepocket 20. Thebladder 22 is coupled to anactuation bulb 24 by a short length oftubing 25, e.g., 6 to 8 inches, the relatively short length of which increases the responsiveness of thebulb 24 in inflating thebladder 22. Thebladder 22 is also coupled to apressure gauge 26 bytubing 28.Gauge 26 indicates the pressure within thebladder 22.Tubings pocket 20 preferably at a reinforced location, such as a leather ordurable fabric overlay 29. - The
gauge 26 is mounted on an L-shaped bracket 30 defining vertical and horizontal arms, 32, 34, respectively. Particularly, thegauge 26 is mounted at theend 37 of thehorizontal arm 32 with theface 38 of the gauge directed upwards. Thehorizontal arm 32 may in fact be angled relative to the horizontal, but provides outward displacement of thegauge 26 relative to the belt, as discussed further below. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 3 , thebelt 10 preferably includes asecond pocket 36 which preferably overlies thefirst pocket 20 and which is preferably located on theouter side 14 of the belt. Thesecond pocket 36 is constructed ofmaterial 40 which is preferably inelastic. Thevertical arm 32 of thebracket 30 is positioned within thesecond pocket 36. Thehorizontal arm 34 fixedly displaces thegauge 26 outward from theouter side 14 of thebelt 10 such that, when the belt is worn, it may be viewed by the user without the user moving the cervical spine substantially out of a neutral posture. In one preferred embodiment, the horizontal arm is approximately five to eight inches in length, although substantially longer lengths, e.g., up to twelve to eighteen inches may be used. The L-shaped bracket 30 may be right angled, or even at an obtuse angle such that theface 38 of thegauge 26 is more easily viewed by the user. - A
stiff barrier plate 44, e.g., of plastic, metal, leather, heavy fabric, etc., can additionally be positioned in thepocket 36. One or both of thevertical arm 32 and thebarrier 44 function as a stop to prevent the inflatedbladder 22 from expanding into thebelt 10. Thebarrier 44 is especially preferred if thevertical arm 32 andbladder 22 are laterally offset from each other. Thebarrier 44 is particularly not required if thevertical arm 32 is of substantial stiffness and dimension to constrain movement of thebladder 22 in the direction of the vertical arm, as discussed below. - Alternatively, the
second pocket 36 can be provided at theinner side 12 of thebelt 10, between thefirst pocket 20 and thebelt 10. As yet another alternative, nosecond pocket 36 is required and thevertical arm 32 andbarrier 44, if provided, may be positioned in thefirst pocket 20, between thebladder 22 and thebelt 10. - The
outer side 14 of thebelt 10 is provided with a preferably elasticthird pocket 42 into which thebulb 24 may be stored when not being activated to inflate thebladder 22. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , when thebladder 22 is inflated by actuation of thebulb 24, thebladder 22 is permitted to expand away from theinner side 12 of thebelt 10 and prevented by the stiffness of thevertical arm 32 and/orbarrier 44 from expanding into the belt. That is, the entire expansion of thebladder 22 occurs toward a space aninner side 12 of thebelt 10 without distension of thebelt 10. - In use, the
belt 10 is snugly worn with thebladder 22 positioned against the abdominal wall muscles, in distinction from directly over the umbillicus. Thebulb 24 is activated (pumped) to inflate thebladder 22, e.g. to 80 to 90 psi (i.e., to the expanded state shown inFIG. 4 ). Thematerial defining pocket 20 expands with thebladder 22 and retains the bladder even as the bladder is inflated. Once inflated, thebladder 22 places pressure against the abdominal wall muscles. - While maintaining a standing posture or lying in a supine position in which the cervical spine is in a substantially neutral posture and while subject to the pressure of the
bladder 22, the muscles of the abdomen are drawn in and held for a period of time, e.g., five to ten second, and then released. The exercise is repeated several times for maximum benefit. - If the exercise is being performed properly, the
gauge 26 indicates a pressure decrease while the muscles of the transverse abdomen are drawn in, and a return to the previous pressure once the muscles are relaxed. The pressure decrease does not occur if ‘drawn in’ is performed improperly, i.e., if the stomach is ‘sucked in’ and the muscles are not properly drawn in. In order to provide useful feedback that the transverse abdominal muscle region is properly being activated, the user can see theface 38 of thegauge 26 which is fixedly displaced outward from the user's body at a location which can be seen without significantly moving the user's head from the cervically neutral position. - Turning now to
FIG. 5 , another embodiment of abelt 110 is shown with analternate bracket 130, which includes ahinge 144. The vertical andhorizontal components bracket 130 can rotate about thehinge 144. Thehinge 144 is designed with a stop that allows the bracket to stay open at approximately between 90° and 120°, and also permits rotation thereabout to fold into a more compact configuration for storage or travel, as shown inFIG. 6 . - From the above, it is appreciated that other attachment or mounting means may be used to couple the gauge in a relatively fixed position relative to the user (without use of the user's hands) so that the user may view the face of the gauge during exercise while maintaining proper cervical positioning. By way of example and not by limitation, an articulable gooseneck may be used between the belt and the gauge. Furthermore, the gauge may be relatively fixedly coupled outwardly from the user's body at a location other than the belt. For example, the gauge may be coupled to a neck brace which places the gauge substantially closer the user's eyes. By way of another example, the gauge may be coupled to a foot or shoe attachment which places the gauge further at a distance from the body or face and/or at a relatively vertically higher location to facilitate visual inspection. In addition, the gauge may be attached to an arm band in a manner that the gauge is visible by the user when the arm is in a neutral position against the body.
- Furthermore, other feedback means, in addition to or as an alternate to the
pressure gauge 26, may be used which additionally provides feedback to the user that pressure has dropped in the bladder and thus the ‘draw in’ is being properly performed. For example, audible indicators or visual indicators, e.g., lights such as LEDs which are highly visible even from peripheral vision, can be used to indicate the desired pressure drop when the exercise is being properly performed. - There have been described and illustrated herein embodiments of an exercise belt for performing an abdominal exercise. While particular embodiments of the invention have been described, it is not intended that the invention be limited thereto, as it is intended that the invention be as broad in scope as the art will allow and that the specification be read likewise. It will therefore be appreciated by those skilled in the art that yet other modifications could be made to the provided invention without deviating from its spirit and scope as claimed.
