Core amortization time under tension method and apparatus

Abstract

The present invention uses a belt around the waist, elastic bands attached to the waist belt and an anchoring system to create simultaneous constant tension on the core and body movement systems during physical exercise in the three planes of motion (sagittal, transverse and frontal). The tension created causes perturbation (balance) challenges forcing the lower and upper body to work synergistically to overcome the load put on the entire muscular system. Since the tension is simultaneous, constant and multi-planar, it overloads the core and lower body movement systems ('Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex'), separately challenging the transverse abdominus, internal obliques, pelvic floor, multifidus, and deep erector spinae group while the physical exercise is being performed. By achieving this, the present invention produces superior physiological results during physical exercise for athletic training, fitness maintenance, and physical therapy and rehabilitation, in a less costly and more time-efficient manner.
