221 PRONE WORKOUT ASSISTING INSTRUMENT US14240322 2012-08-20 US20140206511A1 2014-07-24 Toshimasa Nagasaka
An assisting instrument allows a person to effectively train his/her inner unit by movements in twisting directions or one leg raises, and allows the twisting movements in a prone posture. A first body part is comprised of a rectangular parallelepiped part and an integrated semicircle pillar section. When the assisting instrument is used during workouts in the prone posture, the person's two anterior superior iliac spines and pubis part are protected by a first pad, a second pad, and a third pad, respectively, and his/her abdomen is fitted into a groove part. When the person raises one of his/her legs, the semicircle pillar section to the opposite side. As a result of holding his/her body to prevent the rolling and prevent his/her body from being thrown out of the instrument, the person puts his/her strength in the inner unit and, thus, this part can be trained.

The present invention provides methods for exercise training to improve exercise performance in an individual using low-resistance positive airway pressure and specialized gas mixtures during or immediately after exercise. The methods include wearing an interface, i.e. mask, connected by a tubing circuit to a positive airway pressure (PAP) assist ventilator device. The PAP device is connected to flexible tubing connected through a pressure regulator to a liquid gas source which supplies the gas mixture. Optionally, a gas impermeable bag or vessel is connected to both the PAP device and the liquid gas source to receive, store and condition gas(ses) that is delivered to the PAP device from the liquid gas source. The methods also include simulating high altitude exercise training by using the PAP device with a hypoxic level of oxygen in the gas mixture. The methods of the present invention reallocate oxygen between muscle groups, improve oxygen delivery to muscles, improve oxygen utilization by muscles reduce fatigue, lessen episodes of dyspnea, improve conditioning levels and overall improve training to extreme levels of performance.
233 Apparatus and method of gravity-assisted spinal stretching US12718838 2010-03-05 US08235877B2 2012-08-07 John P. Boren
An apparatus and method for stretching and/or exercising a user's body through incremental, controlled inversion and lower body stretching, preferably performed in combination. The user lies atop an exercise table and restrains her lower body to a restraint movably coupled to the exercise table. The user preferably controls the actuation of a first actuator to incrementally pivot the exercise table about a support structure thereby inverting the user's body. Before or after actuation of the first actuator, but preferably concurrently therewith, the user controls the actuation of a second actuator to incrementally extend the restraint axially away from the exercise table thereby pulling the user's lower body away from the user's upper body. This combination of gravity and mechanical decompression produces greater results than either action by itself.
