The present invention relates to a training device used for muscular strengthening, and more specifically, performs KAATSU training having a feature that not only a person having no abnormality in motor function but also a person having an abnormality in motor function can efficiently strengthen muscle strength. Suitable for<u style="single">Training equipment</u>Regarding.
Yoshiaki Sato, the inventor of the present application, has been conducting research since then in order to develop a muscle strengthening method that enables easy, safe, and efficient muscle strengthening, and as a result, in 1993. He has filed a patent application for Patent Application No. 313949 and has received Patent No. 2670421.
The muscle strengthening method according to this patent is a characteristic that has not been performed by using pressurization. This muscle strengthening method (hereinafter referred to as "Kaatsu training (TM) method") is based on the following theory. There are slow muscles and fast muscles in the muscles, but since the slow muscles rarely grow, it is necessary to activate the fast muscles among the slow muscles and the fast muscles in order to strengthen the muscles. Growth hormone secreted from the pituitary gland, triggered by the accumulation of lactic acid in muscles caused by the activity of fast muscles, has effects such as building muscles and breaking down body fat. If you activate and fatigue, you will strengthen your fast muscles and, by extension, your muscles. By the way, in the slow and fast muscles, the former consumes oxygen and activates, and the latter starts activity when exercise with a light load, whereas the latter is active without oxygen. There is also the difference that the activity starts later than the slow muscle when a considerably large load is applied. Therefore, in order to activate the fast muscles, it is necessary to quickly fatigue the slow muscles that start the activity first. In the conventional muscle strengthening method, the slow muscles are first fatigued and then the fast muscles are activated by performing vigorous exercise using a barbell or the like. Since a large amount of exercise is required to activate the fast muscles in this way, it takes a long time and the burden on the muscles and joints tends to be large. On the other hand, if a predetermined part near the base of the limb of the muscle is tightened and pressurized, and the muscle is exercised with the blood flow to the downstream side restricted, the oxygen supplied to the muscle is reduced. As a result, slow muscles that require oxygen for activity quickly become tired. Therefore, if the muscles are exercised in a state where the blood flow is restricted by pressurization, the activity of the fast muscles can be generated quickly without requiring a large amount of exercise. More specifically, when a predetermined area near the base of the limb is tightened and pressurized, it exists near the skin of the limb and is thinner and harder than the artery (when the pressure is appropriate, it exists near the skin of the limb. The veins, which are inferior in performance against the force of pressurization), are closed, and the arteries that are deeper in the limbs and are thicker and harder than the veins are in a state close to normal. If this condition is maintained for a certain period of time, blood that is supplied from the arteries but cannot exit from the veins will be accumulated in the limbs that are tightened near the root. This condition is very close to the condition in which the limbs are exercising violently, resulting in severe muscle fatigue. In addition, muscle fatigue is also caused by the fact that the lactic acid produced in the muscle is difficult to get out of the muscle due to the closed veins. By executing the KAATSU training method, it is possible to create a pseudo state as described above as in the case of exercising. As a result, when the KAATSU training method is performed, the effect of strength training is produced, and the secretion of growth hormone is promoted. By such a mechanism, it becomes possible to dramatically strengthen the muscle by inhibiting the blood flow in the muscle.
The KAATSU training method applies the theory of muscle strengthening by inhibiting blood flow. More specifically, the KAATSU training method applies an appropriate pressure to a predetermined position near at least one base end of the limb to block the blood flow downstream of the base end, and the pressure exerts an appropriate pressure on the muscle. Appropriate load is applied by obstructing blood flow, which causes muscle fatigue, thereby efficiently strengthening muscles. Since the KAATSU training method strengthens the muscles by applying a load due to blood flow inhibition to the muscles, it has a great feature that it is not necessary to exercise to strengthen the muscles. Due to this feature, the KAATSU training method has a great effect on the recovery of motor function of persons with abnormal motor function, for example, elderly people and persons who are injured. In addition, the KAATSU training method can compensate for the total amount of load applied to the muscles by applying the load due to the inhibition of blood flow to the muscles, so when combined with exercise, the load due to exercise can be reduced as compared with the conventional method. It has the feature. This feature reduces the amount of exercise that the muscles do to build muscle, reducing the risk of joint and muscle damage and shortening the training period. ..
By the way, in order to carry out the KAATSU training method, it is indispensable to have equipment and devices that can block the blood flow to the muscles that are trying to strengthen and can accurately adjust the degree of blood flow inhibition. is there.
The inventor of the present application has repeated research on the KAATSU training method, and in the process, described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-294014.<u style="single">Training equipment</u>Was invented.

<p> The following inventions are proposed by the inventor of the present application in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. The invention of the present application is<u style="single">Training equipment</u>, Control method, and<u style="single">Training system</u>Is embodied as.</p><p> Of the present application<u style="single">Training equipment</u>Is a belt having a length that can be wrapped around any predetermined part of the limbs of the performer of pressure training, an airtight gas bag provided on the belt, and limbs provided on the belt. A fixing means for fixing the belt to the predetermined portion in a state of being wound around the predetermined portion of any of the above is provided, and the gas bag is filled with gas to cover the predetermined portion of the limbs. It changes based on the pulsation of the tightening tool that is provided with a predetermined pressing force that obstructs the blood flow on the downstream side of the predetermined site, and the limbs to which the tightening tool is attached. By measuring at least one of the physical quantity, the physical quantity that changes based on the pulse wave, and the physical quantity that changes based on the oxygen saturation, the beat data about the number of beats, which is the number of beats, and the magnitude of the pulse wave. It is used in combination with a measuring means for generating at least one of pulse wave data for a pulse wave value and oxygen saturation data for an oxygen saturation value which is the magnitude of oxygen saturation. It is designed to control the pressing force. this<u style="single">Training equipment</u>Is a pressure adjusting means capable of sending gas to the gas bag through a predetermined pipe and removing gas from the gas bag, and the pressure adjusting means for changing the pressing force. It is provided with a control means for controlling the gas. Also this<u style="single">Training equipment</u>The control means receives at least one of the beat data, the pulse wave data, and the oxygen saturation data from the measuring means, and receives the beat data, the pulse wave data, and the oxygen saturation data. The pressure adjusting means degass the gas bag to the extent that the practitioner's safety can be ensured when at least one indicates that the practitioner should not continue the pressurization training. It is designed to control the pressure adjusting means. According to the research of the inventor of the present application, it has been found that at least one of the situations in which KAATSU training should not be continued occurs as follows. As mentioned above, during the KAATSU training, the veins need to be closed and the arteries to be in a near-normal state. However, if for some reason not only the veins but also the arteries are closed, or if the arteries are excessively closed, the arms or legs are in a so-called hemostasis state in which blood flow does not flow. It becomes. When this condition occurs, KAATSU training should not be continued any longer. According to the research of the inventor of the present application, when the artery is closed in this way, at least the number of beats (the number of beats) and the magnitude of the pulse wave (pulse wave value) of the performer of the KAATSU training are performed. , It is known that one of the magnitudes of oxygen saturation (oxygen saturation value) changes. According to the present invention, the arterial condition of the performer of KAATSU training is indirectly monitored by pulsation data, pulse wave data, and oxygen saturation data. Also, if at least one of those data indicates that KAATSU training should not be continued, in other words, if at least one of those data indicates that the artery of the person performing the KAATSU training was too closed. Is<u style="single">Training equipment</u>of<u style="single">control</u>The means is<u style="single">The pressure adjustment means</u>The pressure adjusting means is controlled so as to remove the gas from the gas bag. As a result, according to the present invention, when some circumstances occur in which the KAATSU training should not be continued due to the physical condition of the performer performing the KAATSU training, the safety measure can be automatically executed. Become. This has great significance in increasing the safety of KAATSU training. In addition, Kaatsu training can be applied to the fields of medical care, rehabilitation, and long-term care prevention, but in such cases, the performer of Kaatsu training himself<u style="single">Training equipment</u>Is often difficult to operate. In such a case, the invention of the present application<u style="single">Training equipment</u>It is highly desirable to have a safety measure that works automatically, such as.

In that case, the control means in the present invention receives a plurality of beat data, pulse wave data, and oxygen saturation data, and at least one or all of the plurality of data is performed by the executor. When it becomes an indication that the pressurization training should not be continued, the pressure regulating means may be adapted to control the pressure adjusting means so as to degas the gas bag. In the present invention, the number of tightening tools may be singular or plural. When there are a plurality of tightening tools, the number of pressure adjusting means may be the same as that of the tightening tools, and the controlling means controls each pressure adjusting means in the same manner or differently. When the number of pressure adjusting means is the same as that of the tightening tool, one control means may control each pressure adjusting means, or the same number of control means as the tightening tool is associated with each tightening tool. The pressure adjusting means may be controlled.</p><p> The above-mentioned effects are obtained by the following control methods and<u style="single">Training system</u>Also obtained by. The control method is provided on a belt having a length that can be wrapped around a predetermined part of any of the limbs of the performer of pressure training, an airtight gas bag provided on the belt, and the belt. Further, a fixing means for fixing the belt to the predetermined portion in a state of being wound around the predetermined portion of any of the limbs is provided, and the gas bag is filled with gas to form the predetermined portion of the limbs. To the beating of the tightening tool so as to apply a predetermined pressing force to the site to obstruct the blood flow on the downstream side of the predetermined site, and the limbs to which the tightening tool is attached. By measuring at least one of a physical quantity that changes based on a physical quantity that changes based on a pulse wave, a physical quantity that changes based on a pulse wave, and a physical quantity that changes based on oxygen saturation, beat data about the number of beats, which is the number of beats, and a pulse. Used in combination with a measuring device that generates at least one of pulse wave data for the pulse wave value, which is the magnitude of the wave, and oxygen saturation data for the oxygen saturation value, which is the magnitude of the oxygen saturation. A pressure adjusting means capable of sending gas to the gas bag through a predetermined pipe and removing gas from the gas bag, and the pressure adjusting to change the pressing force. It has a control means for controlling the means.<u style="single">Training equipment</u>This is the method executed by the control means of the above. In this control method, the control means receives at least one of the pulsation data, the pulse wave data, and the oxygen saturation data from the measuring device, the pulsation data received, the pulse wave data, and the above. When at least one of the oxygen saturation data indicates that the practitioner should not continue the pressurization training, the pressure adjusting means is gas enough to ensure the practitioner's safety from the gas bag. The process of controlling the pressure adjusting means so as to remove the gas is included. Of the present application<u style="single">Training system</u>Is a belt having a length that can be wrapped around any predetermined part of the limbs of the performer of pressure training, an airtight gas bag provided on the belt, and limbs provided on the belt. A fixing means for fixing the belt to the predetermined portion in a state of being wound around the predetermined portion of any of the above is provided, and the gas bag is filled with gas to cover the predetermined portion of the limbs. , A gas can be sent to the gas bag through a clamp and a predetermined pipe so as to apply a predetermined pressing force that obstructs blood flow on the downstream side of the predetermined site, and the gas. Beating in the pressure adjusting means capable of degassing the bag, the controlling means for controlling the pressure adjusting means in order to change the pressing force, and the limbs to which the tightening tool is attached. Beat data about the number of beats, which is the number of beats, by measuring at least one of the physical quantities that change based on, the physical quantities that change based on the pulse wave, and the physical quantities that change based on oxygen saturation. It includes measuring means for generating at least one of the pulse wave data for the pulse wave value which is the magnitude of the pulse wave and the oxygen saturation data for the oxygen saturation value which is the magnitude of the oxygen saturation. And this<u style="single">Training system</u>The control means receives at least one of the beat data, the pulse wave data, and the oxygen saturation data from the measuring means, and receives the beat data, the pulse wave data, and the oxygen saturation data. The pressure adjusting means degass the gas bag to the extent that the practitioner's safety can be ensured when at least one indicates that the practitioner should not continue the pressurization training. It is designed to control the pressure adjusting means.</p><p> When the control means in the present invention indicates that at least one of the received beat data, pulse wave data, and oxygen saturation data indicates that the performer should not continue the KAATSU training. In addition, it suffices if the pressure adjusting means controls the pressure adjusting means so as to remove the gas from the gas bag. At this time, how much the pressure adjusting means lowers the pressure of the gas in the gas bag is appropriately adjusted or set based on how much the pressure should be lowered to maintain the safety of the performer of the KAATSU training. be able to. For example, when the control means receives at least one of the beat data, the pulse wave data, and the oxygen saturation data, it indicates that the performer should not continue the pressurization training. , The pressure adjusting means controls the pressure adjusting means so as to reduce the pressure of the gas in the gas bag from the pressure at that time by 80% or more of the difference between the pressure at that time and the normal pressure. May be. This is because reducing the pressure of the gas in the gas bag to this extent generally ensures the safety of the performer of the KAATSU training. Alternatively, when the control means receives at least one of the beat data, the pulse wave data, and the oxygen saturation data, it indicates that the performer should not continue the pressurization training. , The pressure adjusting means controls the pressure adjusting means so as to reduce the pressure of the gas in the gas bag from the pressure at that time by 90% or more of the difference between the pressure at that time and the normal pressure. May be. Further, when the control means receives at least one of the beat data, the pulse wave data, and the oxygen saturation data, it indicates that the performer should not continue the pressurization training. , The pressure adjusting means may control the pressure adjusting means so as to reduce the pressure of the gas in the gas bag to a substantially normal pressure. These are more secure than the cases described above. Further, the control means is executed by causing the pressure adjusting means to execute the process of sending the gas to the gas bag again after a predetermined time elapses after the pressure adjusting means removes the gas from the gas bag under the control of the control means. Can resume pressure training<u style="single">Ru</u>It doesn't matter if it looks like this. Alternatively, the control means continuously receives at least one of pulsation data, pulse wave data, and oxygen saturation data even after the pressure adjusting means degass the gas bag under the control of the control means, and the pulsation data. , Pulse wave data, and oxygen saturation data do not indicate that the performer should not continue the pressurization training, the process of sending gas to the gas bag again to the pressure adjusting means is performed. By letting it run, the practitioner can resume pressurization training<u style="single">Ru</u>It doesn't matter if it looks like this. For example, when the control means receives at least one of the beat data, the pulse wave data, and the oxygen saturation data, it indicates that the performer should not continue the pressurization training. The pressure adjusting means controls the pressure adjusting means so as to remove gas from the gas bag to the extent that the safety of the practitioner can be ensured, and after a certain period of time has passed, the pressure adjusting means resumes the pressurization training. The pressure adjusting means may be controlled so as to send gas to the gas bag. Alternatively, when the control means receives at least one of the beat data, the pulse wave data, and the oxygen saturation data, it indicates that the performer should not continue the pressurization training. The beat data indicating that the pressure adjusting means should control the pressure adjusting means so as to degas the gas bag to the extent that the practitioner's safety can be ensured, and the pressurization training should not be continued. When the pulse wave data and the oxygen saturation data do not indicate that the pressurization training should not be continued, the pressure adjusting means sends a gas to the gas bag to restart the pressurization training. The pressure adjusting means may be controlled so as to be inserted.</p><p> According to the research of the inventor of the present application, it has been found that if the artery is closed too much during the KAATSU training, the number of beats decreases. In order to detect that the artery is too closed by utilizing it, the present invention may be, for example, as follows. When the measuring means in the present invention generates beat data about the number of beats by measuring a physical quantity that changes based on the beat, the control means receives the measurement means from the measuring means. When the pulsation data indicates that the pulsation number of the executor is less than the reference pulsation number which is a predetermined pulsation number, the pressure adjusting means releases the safety of the executor from the gas bag. It can be assumed that the pressure adjusting means is controlled so as to remove the gas to the extent that it can be secured. In this case<u style="single">Training equipment</u>May be provided with an input means for inputting data about the reference beat number, in which case the control means sets the reference beat number based on the data input by the input means. It may be decided. The input of the above data by the input means may be performed by, for example, a doctor who has abundant knowledge about KAATSU training, and by doing so, the safety of KAATSU training can be enhanced. Alternatively, the control means may autonomously determine the reference beat number. In this case, the control means may determine the reference beat number in the range of 85% to 95% of the beat number of the performer in normal times. This range of reference beats is determined in consideration of individual differences in addition to the fact that it is often unsafe if the beats drop by about 10% from normal times. The reference beat number may be determined as a value of approximately 90% of the beat number of the performer in normal times. In addition, "normal time" means not the normal time when the executor is living a normal life, but the normal time when the executor is performing KAATSU training. For example, when the gas bag has been supplied with enough gas to provide the proper pressure for KAATSU training, but not so long (for example, within 120 seconds), or in a state where the practitioner is safe. The state when KAATSU training was performed in the past is an example of normal times. The definition of "normal time" is the same in other parts of the present application. Further, when the measuring means in the present invention is supposed to generate beat data about the number of beats by measuring a physical quantity that changes based on the beat, the control means is the measuring means. When the beat data received from the above indicates that the beat number has changed from the beat number at a certain time point to increase or decrease by 10% or more within 60 seconds (for example, within 30 seconds). In addition, the pressure adjusting means may be controlled so as to remove gas from the gas bag to the extent that the safety of the practitioner can be ensured. Considering that the safety of the practitioner is often not maintained, such as when the number of beats fluctuates to this extent in this degree of time, the degree of arterial closure exceeds the safe range, and so on. Is. In this case, the increase in the number of beats is considered because there are rare cases where the risk caused by other than the closure of the artery can be detected by the increase in the number of beats. However, if you exercise during KAATSU training, the number of beats will increase even if safety is maintained. Therefore, in many cases, it is possible to detect danger by increasing the number of beats while maintaining a rest. Only when KAATSU training is performed in. However, "rest" in the present application does not require rest in the strict sense of not moving the limbs at all.</p><p> According to the research of the inventor of the present application, it is known that the pulse wave value decreases when the artery is closed too much during the KAATSU training. In order to detect that the artery is too closed by utilizing it, the present invention may be, for example, as follows. When the measuring means in the present invention is supposed to generate pulse wave data about a pulse wave value by measuring a physical quantity that changes based on the pulse wave, the controlling means receives from the measuring means. When the pulse wave data indicates that the pulse wave value of the performer is less than the reference pulse wave value which is the magnitude of the predetermined pulse wave, the pressure adjusting means executes from the gas bag. It is assumed that the pressure adjusting means is controlled so as to release the gas to the extent that the safety of the person can be ensured. in this case,<u style="single">Training equipment</u>May be provided with an input means for inputting data about the reference pulse wave value. In that case, the control means may determine the reference pulse wave value based on the data input by the input means. The input of the above data by the input means may be performed by, for example, a doctor who has abundant knowledge about KAATSU training, and by doing so, the safety of KAATSU training can be enhanced. Alternatively, the control means may autonomously determine the reference pulse wave value. In this case, the control means may determine the reference pulse wave value in the range of 85% to 95% of the pulse wave value of the performer in normal times. The range of this reference pulse wave value is determined in consideration of individual differences in addition to the fact that it is often unsafe if the pulse wave value drops by about 10% from normal times. The reference pulse wave value may be determined as a value of approximately 90% of the pulse wave value of the performer in normal times. Further, when the measuring means of the present invention is supposed to generate pulse wave data about a pulse wave value by measuring a physical quantity that changes based on the pulse wave, the controlling means is said to be the measuring means. When the pulse wave data received from the above indicates that the pulse wave value has changed from the pulse wave value at a certain time point to increase or decrease by 10% or more within 60 seconds (for example, within 30 seconds). The pressure adjusting means may be controlled so as to remove gas from the gas bag to the extent that the safety of the practitioner can be ensured. Considering that the safety of the practitioner is often not maintained when the pulse wave value fluctuates to this extent in this degree of time, such as when the degree of arterial closure exceeds the safe range. Is. In this case, the increase in the pulse wave value is taken into consideration because there are rare cases where a risk caused by something other than the closure of the artery can be detected by the increase in the pulse wave value. However, if you exercise during KAATSU training, the pulse wave value will rise even if safety is maintained, so it is possible to detect danger by raising the pulse wave value during KAATSU training while maintaining a rest. Only when is executed.</p><p> According to the research of the inventor of the present application, it has been found that the oxygen saturation value decreases when the artery is closed too much during the KAATSU training. In order to detect that the artery is too closed by utilizing it, the present invention may be, for example, as follows. When the measuring means in the present invention is supposed to generate oxygen saturation data for an oxygen saturation value by measuring a physical quantity that changes based on the oxygen saturation, the controlling means measures the measurement. The pressure adjustment when the oxygen saturation data received from the means indicates that the oxygen saturation value of the performer is below the reference oxygen saturation value, which is the magnitude of the predetermined oxygen saturation. The pressure adjusting means may be controlled so that the means degass the gas bag to the extent that the practitioner's safety can be ensured. In this case<u style="single">Training equipment</u>May be provided with an input means for inputting data about the reference oxygen saturation value, in which case the control means may provide the reference oxygen saturation based on the data input by the input means. The value may be determined. The input of the above data by the input means may be performed by, for example, a doctor who has abundant knowledge about KAATSU training, and the safety of KAATSU training can be enhanced by doing so. Alternatively, the control means may autonomously determine the reference oxygen saturation value. In this case, the control means may determine the reference oxygen saturation value in the range of 95% to 99% of the oxygen saturation value of the performer in normal times. The range of this reference oxygen saturation value is determined in consideration of individual differences in addition to the fact that it is often unsafe if the oxygen saturation value drops by about 3% from normal times. The oxygen saturation value may be determined as a value of approximately 97% of the oxygen saturation value of the performer in normal times. Further, when the measuring means is supposed to generate oxygen saturation data about the oxygen saturation value by measuring a physical quantity that changes based on the oxygen saturation, the controlling means is the measuring means. The oxygen saturation data received from the company changed so that the magnitude of the oxygen saturation value increased or decreased by 3% or more within 60 seconds (for example, within 30 seconds) from the oxygen saturation value at a certain point in time. When it is shown that, it can be assumed that the pressure adjusting means controls the pressure adjusting means so as to remove gas from the gas bag to the extent that the safety of the practitioner can be ensured. Considering that when the oxygen saturation value fluctuates to this extent in this degree of time, the safety of the practitioner is often not maintained, such as when the degree of arterial closure exceeds the safe range. It is a thing. In this case, the increase in the oxygen saturation value is taken into consideration because there are rare cases where the risk caused by other than the closure of the artery can be detected by the increase in the oxygen saturation value. However, if you exercise during KAATSU training, the oxygen saturation value will increase even if safety is maintained, so it is only possible to detect danger by increasing the oxygen saturation value while maintaining a rest.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing an overall configuration of a KAATSU training system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the KAATSU training system of this embodiment includes a tightening tool 100, a pressure adjusting device 200, a measuring device 300, and a control device 400. A combination of the pressure adjusting device 200 and the control device 400 is in the present invention.<u style="single">Training equipment</u>Corresponds to. In this embodiment, the pressure adjusting device 200 and the control device 400 are separate bodies, but these may be integrated.
The tightening tool 100 in this embodiment is configured as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the tightening tool 100, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are perspective views showing a usage form of the tightening tool 100. As shown in FIG. 1, the number of the tightening tools 100 in this embodiment is a plurality, and more specifically, four. The reason why there are four tightening tools 100 is to enable pressure on both arms and legs of the person performing the KAATSU training. Pressurization by the tightening tool 100 may be performed simultaneously by two or more of the four tightening tools 100, or may be performed by the four tightening tools 100 in order so as not to overlap in time. Of the tightening tools 100 in this embodiment, the tightening tool 100A is for the arm (for wrapping around the arm to pressurize the arm), and the tightening tool 100B is for the leg (for wrapping around the leg to pressurize the leg). belongs to. The number of the tightening tools 100 does not necessarily have to be four, and any number may be used as long as it is one or more. Further, the number of the tightening tool 100A for the arm and the tightening tool 100B for the leg do not necessarily have to be the same.
The tightening tool 100 in this embodiment is obtained by externally tightening a predetermined part of any muscle of the limb (the predetermined part is generally near the base of the arm or near the base of the leg, and blood is obtained. It is an appropriate position to cause flow obstruction. Hereinafter, this may be referred to as a "tightening site".) It surrounds the outer circumference of the muscle, and by tightening a predetermined part of the muscle, it becomes a predetermined part of the muscle. It is supposed that a pressing force is applied by tightening, and the pressing force can be changed. In this embodiment, the tightening tool 100 basically includes a belt 110, a gas bag 120, and a fixing member 130.
The details of the belt 110 are not limited as long as it can be wound around a predetermined portion around which the tightening tool 100 is wound. The belt 110 in this embodiment is made of a material having some degree of elasticity, although it does not necessarily have to be. More specifically, it is composed of neoprene rubber. The length of the belt 110 according to this embodiment may be determined according to the length of the outer circumference of the tightening portion of the tightening tool 100 of the person performing the KAATSU training. The length of the belt 110 may be longer than the length of the outer circumference of the tightening portion, but the length of the belt 110 in this embodiment is set to be at least twice the length of the outer circumference of the tightening portion. The length of the belt 110 of the arm tightening tool 100A according to this embodiment is determined in consideration of the length of the outer circumference of the arm tightening portion being 26 cm, and is specifically 90 cm. .. Further, the length of the belt 110 of the leg tightening tool 100B is determined in consideration of the length of the outer circumference of the leg tightening portion being 45 cm, and is specifically set to 145 cm. The width of the belt 110 according to this embodiment may be appropriately determined according to the tightening portion of the tightening tool 100. For example, in this embodiment, the belt 110 of the tightening tool 100A for the arm has a width of about 3 cm, and the belt 110 of the tightening tool 100B for the leg has a width of about 5 cm.
The gas bag 120 is attached to the belt 110. The gas bag 120 in this embodiment is attached to one surface of the belt 110. However, the method of attaching the gas bag 120 to the belt 110 is not limited to this, and the gas bag 120 may be provided inside the bag-shaped belt 110. The gas bag 120 is also provided so that one end thereof, but not necessarily so, coincides with one end of the belt 110 (in FIG. 2, the lower end of the belt 110). The gas bag 120 is an airtight bag made of an airtight material. The gas bag 120 in this embodiment is made of rubber having elasticity similar to that of a rubber bag used for, for example, a manchette (a portion wrapped around the arm of a sphygmomanometer). The material of the gas bag 120 is not limited to this, and it is sufficient to appropriately select a material that can maintain airtightness. The length of the gas bag 120 does not necessarily have to be so, but in this embodiment it is approximately the same as the length of the outer circumference of the tightening site. In this embodiment, the length of the gas bag 120 of the tightening tool 100A for the arm is 25 cm, and the length of the gas bag 120 of the tightening tool 100B for the leg is 45 cm. Further, the width of the gas bag 120 may be appropriately determined according to the tightening portion of the tightening tool 100. In this embodiment, it is not always necessary, but the width of the gas bag 120 of the arm tightening tool 100A is about 3 cm, and the width of the gas bag 120 of the leg tightening tool 100B is about 5 cm. The gas bag 120 is provided with a connection port 121 that communicates with the inside of the gas bag 120. For example, the gas bag 120 can be connected to the pressure adjusting device 200 via a connection pipe 500 composed of a rubber tube. There is. As will be described later, gas (air in this embodiment) is sent into the gas bag 120 through the connection port 121, or the gas in the gas bag 120 is discharged to the outside.
The fixing member 130 fixes the belt 110 so as to maintain the state in which the belt 110 is wound around the tightening portion. The fixing member 130 in this embodiment is a hook-and-loop fastener provided on the other end of the belt 110 (the upper end of the belt 110 in FIG. 2) on the surface of the belt 110 on which the gas bag 120 is provided. The fixing member 130 can be freely fixed anywhere on the entire surface of the belt 110 on the side where the gas bag 120 is not provided.
When the belt 110 is wound around the tightening portion and air is sent to the gas bag 120 with the belt 110 fixed by the fixing member 130, the tightening tool 100 tightens the muscle and applies a pressing force to the tightening portion. On the contrary, if the air in the gas bag 120 is evacuated in that state, the pressing force applied to the muscle by the tightening tool 100 becomes small.
The pressure adjusting device 200 may be any device capable of sending gas to the gas bag 120 and removing gas from the gas bag 120. The pressure regulator 200 may have any configuration as long as the gas can be sent to the gas bag 120 and the gas can be removed from the gas bag 120. FIG. 5 schematically shows the configuration of the pressure regulator 200 as an example. As shown in FIG. 5, the pressure regulator 200 includes four pumps 210 and a pump control mechanism 220. The four pumps 210 are associated with the four tightening tools 100, respectively.
The pump 210 has a function of taking in the gas around it (air in this embodiment) and sending it to the outside of the pump connection port 211 described later, and also has a valve (not shown) to open the valve. By doing so, the gas inside the pump 210 can be discharged to the outside. All four pumps 210 are provided with a pump connection port 211, which is connected to the gas bag 120 via a connection pipe 500 connected to the pump connection port 211 and a connection port 121. If the pump 210 sends gas, the gas is sent to the gas bag 120, and if the pump 210 opens the valve, the gas can be removed from the gas bag 120.
The measuring device 300 is a performer of KAATSU training (sometimes referred to simply as a "performer") when the tightening tool 100 attached to a predetermined tightening site of the limb applies pressure to the tightening site. It is a measuring device that measures at least one of the number of beats, which is the number of beats, the pulse wave value, which is the magnitude of the pulse wave, and the oxygen saturation value, which is the magnitude of oxygen saturation. The measuring device 300 can be configured freely as long as it can measure at least one of these. Further, a part of the measuring device 300 may be provided on the control device 400 side.
When measuring the number of beats, the measuring device 300 can be configured by using, for example, a general heart rate monitor or a pulse rate monitor. More specifically, the measuring device 300 can be a sensor for measuring the electrocardiogram. By attaching this sensor to the performer's chest, the measuring device 300 generates pulsation data about the number of pulsations.
When measuring a pulse wave value, the measuring device 300 can be configured by using, for example, a general pulse wave meter. The pulse wave refers to a wave when the pressure change in the blood vessel generated when blood is pushed out into the aorta due to the contraction of the heart is transmitted in the peripheral direction. The volumetric pulse wave is detected as the volume change of the blood vessel due to this wave motion, and the pressure pulse wave is detected as the pressure change in the blood vessel. The measuring device 300 may measure any of these. For example, the measuring device 300 is composed of a pressure sensor that measures the vertical movement of the skin appearing on the surface of the skin as a change in pressure received from the surface of the skin due to a change in blood vessels that expand or contract due to a change in blood flow. be able to. By attaching this sensor to the arm or leg to which the performer's tightening tool 100 is attached, the pulse wave value can be measured. The measuring device 300 also includes an illumination that irradiates a blood vessel in a predetermined portion such as a fingertip of the performer with illumination light in the infrared region, and an optical sensor that measures the reflected light generated by the illumination light hitting the blood vessel. It may consist of. In any case, when these measuring devices 300 are used, the measuring device 300 will generate pulse wave data about the pulse wave value. The pulse wave value is different from the beat rate and the oxygen saturation value, and may differ depending on the part of the body of the performer. The measuring device 300 for measuring the pulse wave value measures the pulse wave value in the vicinity of the part where the tightening tool 100 is attached to the arm or leg to which the tightening tool 100 is attached, or on the tip side of the arm or leg. It is preferable to measure. Further, it is possible to prepare the same number of measuring devices 300 for measuring the pulse wave value as the number of the tightening tools 100, instead of one.
When measuring the oxygen saturation value, the measuring device 300 can be configured by using, for example, a general pulse oximeter. A pulse oximeter can be used to measure oxygen saturation values non-invasively. In this case, the measuring device 300 measures two lights that emit light in the red region and light in the infrared region, and light that these lights pass through a predetermined part of the performer's body such as a fingertip and an earlid. It is supposed to be equipped with a sensor. The oxygen saturation value indicates what percentage of hemoglobin in the blood is bound to oxygen, but since hemoglobin changes its redness depending on whether it is bound to oxygen or not, the above-mentioned optical sensor By measuring the degree of redness of blood, the oxygen saturation value can be measured. The measuring device 300 using such a pulse oximeter is attached to the fingertip of the performer or the earlobe to generate oxygen saturation data for the oxygen saturation value.
In addition, the measuring device 300 in this embodiment is any of the pulsation number, the pulse wave value, and the oxygen saturation value (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as measurement target value) of the performer of KAATSU training. Anything can be used as long as it can measure, but it may be possible to measure a plurality of these. In that case, pressurization training is performed on a plurality of the above-mentioned measuring device 300 for measuring the number of beats, the above-mentioned measuring device 300 for measuring the pulse wave value, and the above-mentioned measuring device 300 for measuring the oxygen saturation value. The system should be prepared at the same time.
The measuring device 300 in this embodiment is capable of measuring the measurement target value over time regardless of the measurement target value. That is, the measuring device 300 can measure the value to be measured, which may change from moment to moment. The measuring device 300 may be capable of measuring the measurement target value continuously in time, or may measure the measurement target value at a predetermined interval or at regular intervals (for example, every 10 seconds). You may be able to do it. The measuring device 300 of this embodiment measures the measurement target value continuously in time without interruption. The measuring device 300 in this embodiment measures the above-mentioned measurement target value regardless of the measurement target value, and at least one of beat data, pulse wave data, and oxygen saturation data for the measurement target value ( Hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "measurement target value data"), and this is sent to the control device 400. The measuring device 300 of this embodiment is adapted to generate measurement target value data and send it to the control device 400 without interruption in time. To make this possible, the measuring device 300 is provided with an output terminal 310 (see FIG. 1), and the measurement target value data is sent to the control device 400 via the output terminal 310. In this embodiment, the output terminal 310 sends measurement target value data to the control device 400 via a cable 700 whose one end is connected to the output terminal 310 and whose other end is connected to the control device 400. ing. However, the configuration for sending the measurement target value data is not limited to this. For example, the measuring device 300 may wirelessly send the data to the control device 400 using light or radio waves. Absent.
The control device 400 controls the pressure adjusting device 200 based on the measurement target value data received from the measuring device 300. The control device 400 includes an input device S for performing input by the operation. The input device S has a plurality of push buttons in this embodiment, but its configuration is not limited to this. What is the data input by the input device S will be described later. The control device 400 is also provided with a lamp L and a speaker (not shown). The lamp L is sufficient as long as it emits light when operated, but in this embodiment, it is an LED. A speaker that generates sound by operating is sufficient, but in this embodiment, an alarm having a volume of about 70db is sounded when the speaker operates.
A schematic diagram of the internal configuration of the control device 400 is shown in FIG. The control device 400 has a built-in computer, and the CPU 401, ROM 402, RAM 403, and interface 404 are connected by a bus 405.
The CPU 401 is a central processing unit, which controls the entire control device 400. The ROM 402 records programs and data necessary for performing the processing described later executed by the control device 400, and the CPU 401 executes the processing based on this program. The ROM 402 is composed of, for example, a flash ROM. RAM403 provides a work area for executing the above-mentioned program. The interface 404 is a device for exchanging data with the outside. The interface 404 includes a connection terminal (not shown) that can be connected to the other end of the cable 600 to which the pressure regulator 200 and one end thereof are connected, and a connection terminal (not shown) that can be connected to the other end of the cable 700. Each is connected. The interface 404 is also connected to the input device S, the lamp L and the speaker. The above-mentioned measurement target value data from the measuring device 300 is received by the interface 404 via the cable 700, and the control data and the stop data described later are received from the interface 404 via the cable 600 by the pressure adjusting device 200. Will be sent to. Further, the interface 404 accepts the input from the input device S. Further, the alarm data described later, which is generated at the same time when the stop data is generated, is sent to the lamp L and the speaker via the interface 404.
When the CPU 401 executes the above program, a functional block as shown in FIG. 7 is generated inside the control device 400. The control device 400 includes an input information analysis unit 411, a control unit 412, a pressurization data recording unit 413, and a stop condition data recording unit 414.
The input information analysis unit 411 receives the measurement target value data or the input from the input device S from the interface 404 and analyzes the contents thereof. The data about the contents analyzed by the input information analysis unit 411 is sent to the control unit 412.
The pressurization data recording unit 413 records pressurization data. The stop condition data recording unit 414 records the stop condition data. The pressurization data and the stop condition data will be described later.
The control unit 412 has a function of generating control data for controlling the pressure adjusting device 200 based on the data received from the input information analysis unit 411, and a stop data is generated based on the data received from the input information analysis unit 411. It has a function to perform as its main function. The control unit 412 includes a control data generation unit 412A, a stop data generation unit 412B, a reference value generation unit 412C, and a main control unit 412D.
The control data generation unit 412A in this embodiment is supposed to generate control data. The control data generation unit 412A uses the pressurization data recorded in the pressurization data recording unit 413 when generating control data. The stop data generation unit 412B in this embodiment is supposed to generate stop data. The stop data generation unit 412B uses the stop condition data recorded in the stop condition data recording unit 414 when generating the stop data. The control unit 412 also generates alarm data at the same time in this embodiment, although it is not always necessary to generate stop data at the same time. The method and timing of generating the control data, the stop data, and the alarm data will be described in detail later. The control unit 412 outputs the control data generated by the control data generation unit 412A and the stop data generated by the stop data generation unit 412B to the interface 404.
The pressurization data is data that defines how to control the pressure regulator 200 for performing the pressurization training. This KAATSU data is often unique to each KAATSU trainer. The KAATSU data is, but is not limited to, data that associates the time elapsed from the start with the pressure of the air in the gas bag 120, which is considered ideal at that time, when performing KAATSU training. It is said that. In other words, the KAATSU data defines the pressure exerted by the tightening tool 100 on the tightening site during the KAATSU training in relation to the time elapsed from the start of the KAATSU training. The control data generation unit 412A reads the pressurization data from the pressurization data recording unit 413 when the pressurization training is executed, and causes the gas bag 120 to apply a tightening force corresponding to the pressurization data to the tightening portion. It is designed to generate control data for. This control data is sent from the interface 404 to the pump control mechanism 220 in the pressure regulator 200. The pump control mechanism 220 controls the pump 210 based on the control data, and causes the pump 210 to send air to the gas bag 120, or causes the pump 210 to evacuate the air in the gas bag 120. In this way, the pressure of the air in the gas bag 120 is appropriately adjusted by the control data generated by the control data generation unit 412A. Further, the tightening force applied by the tightening tool 100 to the tightening portion is adjusted according to the pressurization data.
The stop condition data is data indicating the condition for stopping the running KAATSU training. The stop condition data in this embodiment is, roughly speaking, the measurement target value data which is any of pulsation data, pulse wave data, and oxygen saturation data in this embodiment, and the practitioner should continue the pressurization training. The measurement target value data is pressurized by the performer so that the pressure regulator 200 can control the pressure regulator 200 to bleed air from the gas bag 120 when it becomes an indication that it is not. It specifies the criteria for determining whether or not the training should be continued.
[When the measurement target value data is pulsation data] When the measurement target value data is pulsation data, the stop condition data is as follows. <When using the reference beat number> The reference beat number is a predetermined beat number. In this embodiment, the number of beats is defined as the number of beats per unit time (1 minute in this embodiment). When the stop condition data is generated using the reference beat number, the stop condition data is such that the stop condition data is generated when the beat number of the executor falls below the reference beat number. Here, the reference number of beats is the number of beats that the performer should not continue the KAATSU training when the number of beats of the performer falls below that. This reference beat number may be fixed. For example, the reference number of beats can be set to 50 times per minute. When the reference beat number is set in this way, the reference beat number is the same for all the performers. By the way, if the conditions such as age, physical strength, and gender of the performer are different, the number of beats that the performer should not continue the KAATSU training when the number of beats of the performer falls below that is different. Come on. In consideration of these points, for example, a doctor, a person who has abundant knowledge about KAATSU training, which is a training expert, or a person who performs KAATSU training under the guidance of these, is added. It is convenient to maintain safety if the reference number of beats can be set according to the performer of KAATSU training. In the KAATSU training system of this embodiment, it can be done by using the input device S. In this KAATSU training system, for example, the practitioner operates the input device S with an appropriate reference pulsation number as his / her own reference pulsation number taught by a person who has abundant knowledge about KAATSU training. It is possible to input by. The input from the input device S is sent to the reference value generation unit 412C in the control unit 412 via the interface 404 and the input information analysis unit 411. Here, the reference value generation unit 412C has a function of specifying the reference beat number based on the input from the input device S and sending it to the stop condition data recording unit 414. The reference beat number sent from the reference value generation unit 412C is received by the stop condition data recording unit 414 and recorded as a part of the stop condition data. Such manual setting of the reference beat number is excellent in that the reference beat number can be individually set according to the performer of the KAATSU training. On the other hand, the KAATSU training system of this embodiment can also perform the following processing for automatically setting the reference beat number. The control data generation unit 412A of this pressurization training system sets the reference beat number in the range of 85% to 95% of the performer's beat number in normal times, and more specifically, sets the reference beat number in normal times. 90% of the number of beats of the performer (However, if the reference number of beats determined by this includes a fraction, the reference number of beats is made an integer by rounding down, rounding up, or rounding off the fraction. In this embodiment, the truncation process is performed.). Here, the problem is what kind of beat number the control data generation unit 412A grasps as the beat number in the normal time of the executor. For example, after the start of KAATSU training (more specifically, the gas bag 120). After the pressure of the air sent to the body becomes the appropriate pressure for performing KAATSU training, the same shall apply hereinafter), the number of beats for an appropriate time (for example, 1 minute), the normal beat of the performer. It can be a pulsation. Alternatively, the normal beat number of the performer may be determined based on the records of the past KAATSU training. In such a case, the stop data generation unit 412B is provided with a function of recording the history of the number of beats during the past KAATSU training of the executor. In any case, the above-mentioned reference value generation unit 412C performs the process of specifying the reference beat number by calculating from the normal beat number of the executor. The reference value generation unit 412C identifies the reference beat number based on the input from the input device S, and sends it to the stop condition data recording unit 414. The reference beat number sent from the reference value generation unit 412C is received by the stop condition data recording unit 414 and recorded as a part of the stop condition data. <When monitoring a sudden drop in the number of beats> When the stop condition data is generated by monitoring the sudden decrease in the number of beats, the stop condition data is within an appropriate time within 60 seconds from the number of beats of the performer at a certain point in time (this). In the embodiment, the stop data is generated when the value changes so as to increase or decrease by 10% or more within 30 seconds). In order for the stop data generation unit 412B to generate stop data based on such stop condition data, the stop data generation unit 412B needs to have a function of continuously recording the number of beats of the executor. The stop data generation unit 412B of this embodiment has a function of continuously recording the number of beats of the performer for at least the past 30 seconds, and whether or not the recorded number of beats has changed as described above. It has a function to monitor the data. In addition, it should be noted.<u style="single">this</u>In this case, the two parameters of time and% of how many seconds the number of beats fluctuated by what percentage or more can be made variable by operating the input device S. <Summary when the measurement target value data is pulsation data> In this embodiment, when the measurement target value data is pulsation data, stop data is generated in any of the following modes. (Pulsation number-1) When the number of beats of the performer falls below the fixed reference number of beats (Pulsation number-2) When the number of beats of the executor falls below the manually set reference number of beats (Number of beats-3) When the number of beats of the executor falls below the automatically set reference number of beats (Pulsation number-4) When the number of beats of the performer fluctuates by 10% or more within 30 seconds from the number of beats at a certain point in time. In this KAATSU training system, which of these modes is selected is determined by the input of the input device S. The input from the input device S is sent to the main control unit 412D in the control unit 412 via the interface 404 and the input information analysis unit 411. The main control unit 412D notifies the stop data generation unit 412B of the mode selected at that time.
[When the measurement target value data is pulse wave data] When the measurement target value data is pulse wave data, the stop condition data is as follows. <When using the reference pulse wave value> The reference pulse wave value is a predetermined pulse wave value. The pulse wave value repeatedly increases and decreases in a cycle of about 1 second in response to the pulsation. In this embodiment, the pulse wave value is defined as the difference between the adjacent upper peak and the lower peak of the pulse wave that repeatedly increases and decreases. When the stop condition data is generated using the reference pulse wave value, the stop condition data is such that the stop condition data is generated when the pulse wave value of the executor falls below the reference pulse wave value. Here, the reference pulse wave value is a pulse wave value that the performer should not continue the KAATSU training when the pulse wave value of the performer falls below that. This reference pulse wave value may be fixed. There are several types of pulse waves such as velocity pulse waves and acceleration pulse waves, and the reference pulse wave value can be appropriately determined according to each type. When the reference pulse wave value is set in this way, the reference pulse wave value is the same for all the performers. By the way, if the conditions such as age, physical strength, and gender of the performer are different, the pulse wave value that the performer should not continue the KAATSU training when the pulse wave value of the performer falls below that is different. Come on. In consideration of these points, for example, a doctor, a person who has abundant knowledge about KAATSU training, which is a training expert, or a person who performs KAATSU training under the guidance of these, is added. It is safe and convenient to be able to set a reference pulse wave value according to the performer of KAATSU training. In the KAATSU training system of this embodiment, it can be done by using the input device S. In this KAATSU training system, for example, the practitioner operates the input device S with an appropriate reference pulse wave value as his / her own reference pulse wave value taught by a person who has abundant knowledge about KAATSU training. It is possible to input by. The input from the input device S is sent to the reference value generation unit 412C via the interface 404 and the input information analysis unit 411. Here, the reference value generation unit 412C has a function of specifying a reference pulse wave value based on the input from the input device S and sending it to the stop condition data recording unit 414. The reference pulse wave value sent from the reference value generation unit 412C is received by the stop condition data recording unit 414 and recorded as a part of the stop condition data. Such manual setting of the reference pulse wave value is excellent in that the reference pulse wave value can be individually set according to the performer of the KAATSU training. On the other hand, the KAATSU training system of this embodiment can also perform the following processing for automatically setting the reference pulse wave value. The control data generation unit 412A of this KAATSU training system is supposed to determine the reference pulse wave value in the range of 85% to 95% of the pulse wave value of the performer in normal times. For example, the reference pulse wave value is determined as 90% of the pulse wave value of the performer in normal times. Here, the problem is what kind of pulse wave value the control data generation unit 412A grasps as the pulse wave value in the normal time of the executor. For example, an appropriate time after the start of KAATSU training (for example, 1 minute). ) Can be used as the normal pulse wave value of the performer. Alternatively, the normal pulse wave value of the performer may be determined based on the records of the past KAATSU training. In such a case, the stop data generation unit 412B is provided with a function of recording the history of the pulse wave value at the time of the past pressurization training of the executor. In any case, the above-mentioned reference value generation unit 412C performs the process of calculating the reference pulse wave value from the normal pulse wave value of the executor and specifying the reference pulse wave value. The reference value generation unit 412C identifies the reference pulse wave value based on the input from the input device S, and sends it to the stop condition data recording unit 414. The reference pulse wave value sent from the reference value generation unit 412C is received by the stop condition data recording unit 414 and recorded as a part of the stop condition data. <When monitoring a sudden drop in pulse wave value> When the stop condition data is generated by monitoring the rapid decrease of the pulse wave value, the stop condition data is within an appropriate time within 60 seconds from the pulse wave value at a certain point in time (this). In the embodiment, the stop data is generated when the value changes so as to increase or decrease by 10% or more within 30 seconds). In order for the stop data generation unit 412B to generate stop data based on such stop condition data, the stop data generation unit 412B needs to have a function of continuously recording the pulse wave value of the executor. The stop data generation unit 412B of this embodiment has a function of continuously recording the pulse wave value of the performer for at least the past 30 seconds, and whether or not the recorded pulse wave value shows the above-mentioned change. It has a function to monitor the data. In addition, it should be noted.<u style="single">this</u>In this case, the two parameters of time and% of how many seconds the pulse wave value fluctuated within seconds and by what percentage can be made variable by operating the input device S. <Summary when the measurement target value data is pulse wave data> In this embodiment, when the measurement target value data is pulse wave data, stop data is generated in any of the following modes.

In this KAATSU training system, which of these modes is selected is determined by the input of the input device S. The input from the input device S is sent to the main control unit 412D in the control unit 412 via the interface 404 and the input information analysis unit 411. The main control unit 412D notifies the stop data generation unit 412B of the mode selected at that time.
[When the measurement target value data is oxygen saturation data] Value to be measured<u style="single">data</u>When is oxygen saturation data, the stop condition data is as follows. <When using the reference oxygen saturation value> The reference oxygen saturation value is a predetermined oxygen saturation value. When the stop condition data is generated using the reference oxygen saturation value, the stop condition data is such that the stop data is generated when the oxygen saturation value of the executor falls below the reference oxygen saturation value. Here, the reference oxygen saturation value is an oxygen saturation value that the performer should not continue the KAATSU training when the oxygen saturation value of the performer falls below that. This reference oxygen saturation value may be fixed. For example, the reference oxygen saturation value can be fixedly set to 96%. When the reference oxygen saturation value is set in this way, the reference oxygen saturation value is the same for all the practitioners. By the way, if the conditions such as age, physical strength, and gender of the performer are different, the oxygen saturation value that the performer should not continue the KAATSU training when the oxygen saturation value of the performer falls below that. Will be different. In consideration of these points, for example, a doctor, a person who has abundant knowledge about KAATSU training, which is a training expert, or a person who performs KAATSU training under the guidance of these, is added. It is safe and convenient to be able to set a reference oxygen saturation value according to the performer of KAATSU training. In the KAATSU training system of this embodiment, it can be done by using the input device S. In this KAATSU training system, for example, the practitioner inputs an appropriate reference oxygen saturation value as his / her own reference oxygen saturation value taught by a person who has abundant knowledge about KAATSU training, and inputs the input device S. It is possible to input by operating. The input from the input device S is sent to the reference value generation unit 412C via the interface 404 and the input information analysis unit 411. Here, the reference value generation unit 412C has a function of specifying a reference oxygen saturation value based on the input from the input device S and sending it to the stop condition data recording unit 414. The reference oxygen saturation value sent from the reference value generation unit 412C is received by the stop condition data recording unit 414 and recorded as a part of the stop condition data. Such manual setting of the reference oxygen saturation value is excellent in that the reference oxygen saturation value can be individually set according to the performer of the KAATSU training. On the other hand, the KAATSU training system of this embodiment can also perform the following processing for automatically setting the reference oxygen saturation value. The control data generation unit 412A of this KAATSU training system determines the reference oxygen saturation value in the range of 95% to 99% of the oxygen saturation value of the practitioner in normal times. In this embodiment, the reference oxygen saturation value is determined as 97% of the oxygen saturation value of the practitioner in normal times. Here, the problem is what kind of oxygen saturation value the control data generation unit 412A grasps as the oxygen saturation value in the normal time of the executor. For example, an appropriate time after the start of KAATSU training (for example, , 1 minute) oxygen saturation value can be used as the normal oxygen saturation value of the practitioner. Alternatively, the performer's normal oxygen saturation value may be determined based on records from past KAATSU training. In such a case, the stop data generation unit 412B is provided with a function of recording the history of the oxygen saturation value at the time of the past pressurization training of the executor. In any case, the above-mentioned reference value generation unit 412C performs the process of specifying the reference oxygen saturation value by calculating from the oxygen saturation value of the practitioner in normal times. The reference value generation unit 412C identifies the reference oxygen saturation value based on the input from the input device S, and sends it to the stop condition data recording unit 414. The reference oxygen saturation value sent from the reference value generation unit 412C is received by the stop condition data recording unit 414 and recorded as a part of the stop condition data. <When monitoring a sudden drop in oxygen saturation value> When generating stop condition data by monitoring a sudden decrease in oxygen saturation value, the stop condition data is an appropriate time within 60 seconds from the oxygen saturation value of the performer at a certain point in time. Within (within 30 seconds in this embodiment), stop data is generated when the data changes so as to increase or decrease by 3% or more. In order for the stop data generation unit 412B to generate stop data based on such stop condition data, the stop data generation unit 412B needs to have a function of continuously recording the oxygen saturation value of the executor. The stop data generation unit 412B of this embodiment has a function of continuously recording the oxygen saturation value of the performer for at least the past 30 seconds, and the recorded oxygen saturation value changes as described above. It has a function to monitor whether or not it is dissolved. In addition, it should be noted.<u style="single">this</u>In this case, the two parameters for time and% of how many seconds the oxygen saturation value fluctuated within seconds and by what percentage can be made variable by operating the input device S. <Summary when the measurement target value data is oxygen saturation data> In this embodiment, when the measurement target value data is oxygen saturation data, stop data is generated in any of the following modes. (Oxygen saturation value-1) When the oxygen saturation value of the performer falls below the fixed reference oxygen saturation value (Oxygen saturation value-2) When the oxygen saturation value of the performer falls below the manually set reference oxygen saturation value (Oxygen saturation value-3) When the oxygen saturation value of the performer falls below the automatically set reference oxygen saturation value (Oxygen saturation value-4) When the oxygen saturation value of the performer fluctuates by 3% or more within 30 seconds from the oxygen saturation value at a certain point in time. In this KAATSU training system, which of these modes is selected is determined by the input of the input device S. The input from the input device S is sent to the main control unit 412D in the control unit 412 via the interface 404 and the input information analysis unit 411. The main control unit 412D notifies the stop data generation unit 412B of the mode selected at that time.
The stop data generation unit 412B receives the measurement target value data sent from the measuring device 300 during the KAATSU training, and whether the measurement target value data matches the conditions indicated by the stop condition data. Please monitor. The stop condition data depends on whether the measurement target value data is pulsation data, pulse wave data, or oxygen saturation data, and in the case of the measurement target value data used at that time, which mode described above is used. It depends on whether it is selected at the time. Therefore, the stop data generation unit 412B determines whether or not the measurement target value data matches the condition indicated by the stop condition data of the mode selected at that time notified from the main control unit 412D as described above. Monitor. The stop data generation unit 412B generates stop data and alarm data when it is determined that the measurement target value data matches the conditions indicated by the stop condition data during the above-mentioned monitoring. Send to interface 404. The stop data sent to the interface 404 is sent to the pump control mechanism 220 in the pressure regulator 200. The alarm data is sent to the lamp L and the speaker. The lamp L that receives this lights up, and the speaker sounds an alarm. The stop data is data for the pump control mechanism 220 that receives the stop data to cause the pump 210 to perform an operation such as bleeding air. More specifically, the stop data is such that the pump control mechanism 220 that receives it reduces the pressure in the gas bag 120 at that time to the pump 210 (in this embodiment, the gas in the gas bag 120). It is the data to make the operation like bleeding air by lowering the pressure from the pressure at that time by 80% or more of the difference between the pressure at that time and the normal pressure). This outage data should reduce the pressure in the gas bag 120 from the pressure at that time by 90% or more of the difference between the pressure at that time and the normal pressure in order to make the safety of the performer more complete. The pump control mechanism 220 may cause the pump 210 to perform the above-mentioned processing, and the pump control mechanism 220 may cause the pump 210 to perform the processing for reducing the pressure in the gas bag 120 to substantially normal pressure. It may be anything. Upon receiving the stop data, the pump control mechanism 220 causes the pump 210 to evacuate the air in the gas bag 120. As a result, the pressure of the air in the gas bag 120 is lowered according to the contents of the stop data. As a result, the tightening force exerted by the tightening tool 100 on the tightening portion is reduced. As will be described later, the stop data generation unit 412B continues to perform the above-mentioned monitoring even after the air in the gas bag 120 is evacuated based on the stop data sent to the pump control mechanism 220. You may.
Next, how to use this KAATSU training system will be briefly described. First, the four tightening tools 100 are wrapped around the tightening sites of the limbs of the performer performing the KAATSU training. In this embodiment, two arm tighteners 100A are attached to both arms and two leg tighteners 100B are attached to both legs. Specifically, the gas bag 120 is made to make one round around the tightening part, and the belt 110 for the excess length is made to make another two rounds around it, and in that state, the tip of the belt 110 is fixed by the fixing member 130. To do. In this state, the tightening tool 100A or 100B gives a constant tightening force to the arm or leg, but this tightening force does not reach an appropriate pressure for the performer to perform the KAATSU training. The measuring device 300 is then mounted at an appropriate position on the body of the KAATSU trainer. Since the mounting position of the measuring device 300 differs as described above depending on the value to be measured by the measuring device 300, it is necessary to mount the measuring device 300 at an appropriate position on the body of the performer. Next, the four fasteners 100 are connected to the pressure regulator 200 by the connecting pipe 500, respectively. Further, the measuring device 300 is connected to the control device 400 with a cable 700. Further, the control device 400 and the pressure adjusting device 200 are connected by a cable 600.
In that state, input is performed by the input device S. As described above, the input performed by the input device S is an input for selecting the mode in which the stop condition data is generated. Also, depending on the mode of the selected stop condition data, it is necessary to input either the reference beat number, the reference pulse wave value, or the reference oxygen saturation value, so enter any of them as necessary. input. Then, by operating the input device S, the KAATSU training is started. The input made by operating the input device S is sent to the main control unit 412D in the control unit 412 via the interface 404 and the input information analysis unit 411. The main control unit 412D sends an instruction to the control data generation unit 412A to start the KAATSU training. The control data generation unit 412A that has received this generates control data and sends it to the pump control mechanism 220 in the pressure regulator 200 via the interface 404. The pump 210 is driven under the control of the pump control mechanism 220 and appropriately adjusts the pressure in the gas bag 120 as described above. As a result, the tightening tool 100 applies an appropriate pressing force to the tightening portion to which the tightening tool 100 is attached. In that state, the performer of the KAATSU training may keep rest or exercise. In addition, (number of beats-<u style="single">3</u>), (Pulse wave value-<u style="single">3</u>), (Oxygen saturation value-<u style="single">3</u>) Either mode<u style="single">Execute</u>In some cases, the executor<u style="single">While generating outage data</u>Stop<u style="single">data</u>Pulsation number, pulse wave value, or oxygen saturation value used to generate<u style="single">To any of</u>It is preferable to keep the rest to the extent that it does not cause a great influence. When the KAATSU training is started by the operation of the input device S, the main control unit 412D sends an instruction to the stop data generation unit 412B to start monitoring the measurement target value data sent from the measurement device 300. Upon receiving this, the stop data generation unit 412B reads the stop condition data of the selected mode from the stop condition data recording unit 414, and the measurement target value data is set to the condition specified by the stop condition data of the selected mode. Start monitoring for matches. As described above, depending on the selected mode, it is necessary to monitor the measurement target value data even before the start of the KAATSU training. In that case, the stop data generation unit 412B monitors the measurement target value data from, for example, when the input device S receives an input for selecting the mode in which the stop condition data is generated. Just start.
While the KAATSU training is being executed, the stop data generation unit 412B monitors whether or not the measurement target value data matches the conditions specified in the stop condition data of the selected mode. If the measurement target value data does not match the conditions specified in the stop condition data of the selected mode until the KAATSU training is completed, the KAATSU training is terminated as it is. The KAATSU training is completed when the control data generation unit 412A sends control data for the pump control mechanism 220 to the pump 210 to perform an operation such as bleeding air from the gas bag 120 to the pump control mechanism 220. If the stop data generation unit 412B determines that the measurement target value data matches the conditions specified by the stop condition data of the selected mode before the end of the KAATSU training, the stop data generation unit 412B Generates stop data. The stop data is sent to the pump control mechanism 220 in the pressure regulator 200 via the interface 404. The pump 210 is driven under the control of the pump control mechanism 220 to reduce the pressure in the gas bag 120 as described above. As a result, the pressing force applied by the tightening tool 100 to the tightening site to which the tightening tool 100 is attached decreases, and the pressure training is stopped. At the same time, the lamp L lights up and the speaker sounds an alarm according to the alarm data generated at the same time as the stop data. It should be noted that the lighting of the lamp L and the vocalization of the speaker are stopped after a lapse of a predetermined time. Alternatively, when someone operates the input device S, the lighting of the lamp L and the vocalization of the speaker may be stopped. The KAATSU training system may stop the KAATSU training as it is when the stop data is generated. On the other hand, the KAATSU training system is added when a predetermined condition is satisfied, such as when a time has elapsed after the stop data is generated and it can be judged that the safety of the KAATSU training performer is ensured. It can also be like resuming KAATSU training. And the KAATSU training system of this embodiment is such. In the KAATSU training system of this embodiment, the stop data generation unit 412B notifies the control data generation unit 412A of the data indicating that the stop data has been generated. The control data generation unit 412A that has received this stops the generation of control data. On the other hand, the stop data generation unit 412B of the KAATSU training system of this embodiment continuously determines whether the measurement target value data matches the condition specified by the stop condition data even after the stop data is generated. It is designed to monitor. Then, when the measurement target value data that once matches the condition specified by the stop condition data does not match the condition specified by the stop condition data, the stop data generation unit 412B controls the data indicating that fact. Notify the generator 412A. Control data generator 412 that received this<u style="single">A</u>Resumes control data generation. In this way, in this embodiment, the once stopped KAATSU training is restarted. It should be noted that the KAATSU training is performed regardless of the measurement target value data after an appropriate time has passed after the KAATSU training is stopped (for example, after the stop data is generated). I do not care. In this case, the control data generation unit 412A receives the above-mentioned data when a predetermined time, for example, 120 seconds has elapsed after receiving the data indicating that the stop data has been generated from the stop data generation unit 412B. As a result, the generation of control data that has been temporarily stopped is restarted.
In this embodiment, the number of measuring devices 300 is one, but a plurality of measuring devices 300 for measuring a plurality of different measurement target values may be included in the KAATSU training system. In this case, the stop data generation unit 412B monitors whether each of a plurality of different measurement target value data sent from the plurality of measuring devices 300 matches the conditions specified in the stop condition data, for example, measurement. It is possible to generate stop data when one of the target value data meets the condition, or when all of the measurement target value data meet the condition.
