Exercise training system providing programmable guiding track

Exercise training system providing programmable guiding track description/claims

1. Technical Field

The present invention is related to exercise training systems, and more particularly, to an exercise training system providing programmable circulative guiding track (e.g. circular or elliptical guiding track) for an exerciser to move accordingly and detecting the exerciser's performance.

2. Description of Related Art

Taijiquan is known for being beneficial to health and has become a popular exercise nowadays. It's also highly evaluated by general exercisers and sports scientist for its sports effect. Practicing Pushing-hands is one form of Taijiquan training. Through practicing Pushing-hands, the sensitivity, sense of balance, limb coordination and reaction rate can be substantively improved.

In a traditional training method, Pushing-hands is typically practiced through sparring. To practice Pushing-hands, two exercisers face each other and contact the opponent's wrist and make the contacted wrists circling repeatedly in a circular or elliptical guiding track synchronously. During practicing, both the exercisers detect the opponent's motion by his hand, wrist as well as lower arm and give proper reaction. It is important for the exercisers to keep the wrists intercontacting lightly yet avoiding mutual resistance. Thus, Pushing-hands facilitates training for generalized sensitivity, limb coordination and reaction rate. However, one fundamental problem of such traditional training method of Pushing-hands is that the practice requires two participants. Additionally, an exerciser may not get objective data of performance assessment from his opponent as a reference material. Thus the popularization of Pushing-hands is limited.

Some sport facilities have therefore been developed to overcome foresaid limitation in Pushing-hands and benefit the popularization of Taijiquan. However, such prior art facilities are usually noninteractive, unadjustable and nonprogrammable, hence such facilities are inadequate to provide satisfactory training effect.

On the other hand, though Taiwan Patent M064330 provides an interactive Taijiquan simulator whereby an exerciser can practice dodging and parrying, such prior art interactive Taijiquan simulator has no detecting element or means to monitor the exerciser's performance and the guiding track and operating mode thereof are not adjustable. Thus, a need exists for an exercise training system for Pushing-hands practice that provides interactive operating mode and programmable circulative guiding track.

The present invention has been accomplished under these circumstances in view and discloses an exercise training system for simulating an opponent in Pushing-hands practice to provide different guiding tracks and practicing mode and respond to the exerciser with objective data of performance assessment.

It is one object of the present invention to provide an exercise training system for training an exerciser's sensitivity, sense of balance, limb coordination and reaction rate with Pushing-hands practice.

It is another object of the present invention to provide an exercise training system that allows an exerciser to practice Pushing-hands without the need of a practicing partner.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide an exercise training system that utilizes adjustable linkage system to perform variable guiding track for meeting an exerciser's need and leading effective training of Pushing-hands exercise.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an exercise training system that is equipped with sensing elements to detect an exerciser's performance of Pushing-hands for warning the exerciser of the inappropriate exertion or exporting the detecting results as training reference material.
