As obesity is known to be a risk factor of various diseases, interest in the treatment of obesity has recently increased rapidly. Among obese patients, especially those with abdominal obesity have been found to be a great risk for obesity-related diseases. And there have been many changes in the treatment of obesity. Only 30 years ago, doctors believed that exercise played a minimal role in the treatment of obesity. It was believed that the diet was the most important treatment for obesity. Recently, as the role of exercise is known, exercise plays a big role in the treatment of obesity, and it is known that not only the treatment of obesity but also the risk of various diseases such as dyslipidemia and osteoporosis can be reduced.

When you exercise, your muscles are activated and go through the corresponding action and aerobic metabolism, and this circulation becomes more active and consumes more calories. So gradually weight is lost. In addition, exercise results in an increase in lean body tissue, which increases metabolic rate at rest as well as during exercise. Obesity treatment with diet alone, without exercise, tends to result in weight loss initially, and more than 25% of weight loss occurs due to a decrease in lean body tissue, which is an active tissue such as muscle. The lean body weight can be preserved or increased.

In addition, recently, drug therapy has also played a big role in the treatment of obesity. The drugs used are Orlistat and Sibutramine, which have side effects for each of the drugs, and have a disadvantage in that they need to be taken continuously for a long time. There is a limit such as being able to increase again.

For these reasons, exercise plays an important role in the treatment of obesity. Exercises that are appropriate for the treatment of obesity are recommended to be repeated two or three times a week with aerobic exercise, which is at least five times a week and at least one hour of moderate intensity. However, it has not been established which exercise is effective for a certain part of body fat excess. So, diet, drug treatment, and general exercise, even if you lose weight, the body fat is reduced throughout the body, in particular, there is a limit to the intensive treatment of the obesity area where a lot of body fat cells are distributed.

In addition, in the case of modern people, it is often difficult to take time for exercise separately, but even though they know that exercise should be carried out, there are not many problems that put this into practice.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is designed to intensively move a desired specific region by using a pulse electric signal.

Usually the motor nerves are located deep inside the body. To control this motor nerve, attach (+) and (-) to the surface of the human body one by one at the start and end points of the motor nerve (MOTOR POINT) contact conductive pads (which carry current from the body). According to the present invention, the frequency varies depending on the shape of the attached muscles (muscles and muscles), and the pulse width (PULSE WIDTH), the slope of the electrical signal (RAMP), the operation time and the rest time (rest time) are also set differently.

If you look at the principle of exercise using electric stimulation in more detail,

================================================== =============

When people exercise safely, warm-up is essential, because most of the troubles that occur during exercise are due to lack of warm-up. In general, the warm-up time is preferably about 10 to 15 minutes.

It is also a good idea to have a cool-down course after exercise. The more the muscle burns energy, the greater the amount of blood needed, so that a large amount of blood enters the muscle used for exercise to counteract it. If you suddenly stop the exercise in this state, the blood flowed in a large amount of muscle can not be sent back to the original place, the amount of blood remaining will put a strain on the heart. This can lower your blood pressure and cause dizziness.

Warm up and cool down are indispensable conditions for improving the effectiveness of exercise.

In the program according to the present invention, approximately 20% of the total is set as the time for warming up and cooling down. When warming up, it stimulates blood vessels to smooth blood flow and raises the temperature of muscles to warm up.On the contrary, when cooling down, unlike warming up, it is a weak stimulus that releases muscles after strong exercise. Current is used. This warm-up and cool-down current is applied to the muscle with a different stimulus than the current used for muscle stimulation for full-scale exercise. The superiority will be determined.

Exercise is the movement of skeletal muscles. There are three types of muscles in humans: bone myeloma / smooth muscle (visceral muscle) and myocardium (heart muscle). Among them, skeletal muscle is a muscle that moves or protects the bones, which are moved by the motor nerves, and the other two muscles are autonomic nerves, not the motor nerves.

Programs according to the present invention to stimulate the skeletal muscles by stimulating the motor nerves, which uses the principle that can be stimulated by flowing electricity in the middle of the nerve in addition to the command from the brain.

In other words, the motor neuron does not move unless there is a command from the brain, but it is moved by electrical stimulation from any part of the body. When the electric nerve is flowed according to a certain law to any part of the motor nerve, the motor nerve starts to work. , Corresponding to the movement of the skeletal muscle.

Hereinafter, the reason for using a different type of electrical stimulation in the present invention for each type of skeletal muscle, that is, for body parts, will be described.

Skeletal muscles are distributed according to body parts, and there are fast and short muscles depending on the part. Rapid muscle (速 筋) refers to a muscle that has a high speed of contraction, and because it contains a little red-tinted protein called myoglobin, it is called white muscle because it is slightly white in appearance. The abdominal muscle of the calf is a typical muscle of the calf muscle. The fast muscle is a muscle that exerts the force required for a quick exercise such as a 100m race, and an electrical stimulation using a high frequency is preferable. On the other hand, the root muscle is a muscle that has a slow contraction speed, and it is called red muscle because it contains a lot of myoglobin and apparently slightly dark red. For example, it is preferable to stimulate the electric signal using a slow frequency. There are other degenerative muscles (mixtures of the triceps and proximal muscles), in which case it is desirable to stimulate them using an appropriate frequency located between the upper and lower frequencies.

On the other hand, to strengthen the muscle is in line with the contraction of the muscle well, the time and number of muscle contraction is the amount of muscle exercise. In other words, when the muscles are stretched, you cannot exert strength.

Abdominal muscles that people voluntarily do is about 3 to 5 seconds of one contraction time, but the exercise program according to the present invention can increase the contraction time up to about 10 to 15 seconds, which is nearly three times as much as 30 times. Allow up to seconds. By lengthening the contraction time of the muscles increases the energy consumption of the muscles to make the muscles stronger and thicker.

Increasing the number of times while keeping the muscles contracted for 10 to 15 seconds cannot be done by the general public except in the case of sports athletes, but according to the exercise program (electrical stimulation) according to the present invention, anyone can This can be done simply. For this reason, fat that was hardly missed by spontaneous exercise can be easily removed by the exercise program (electrical stimulation) according to the present invention.

In addition, when the muscle contraction time and rest (근육) time is important, it is desirable to give the time (rest time) to rest the muscle by a time corresponding to 1 ~ 1.5 times the contraction time of the muscle. The reason for setting such a stop time is that the combustion gas (lactic acid / carbon gas / water) of energy used for muscle exercise needs to be discharged (moved) from the exercise part through the blood vessel quickly, and the time required for this day must be secured. . At this time, it is preferable to set the rest time differently according to the type of gas discharged (that is, set the rest time differently for each part).

On the other hand, when a person does abdominal exercise, in order to increase the effect of the exercise, `` I slowly raise my upper body and keep the posture using the most of my abs for a few seconds, and then slowly relax and go back to the original state. '' As with the exercise, the electrical signal of the exercise program according to the present invention also increases the signal gradually (Ramp-up time) and continues to flow for a few seconds at the maximum contraction (Hold time) and then weakens the signal little by little. (Ramp-down time). What is important at this time is that it is desirable to lengthen the time that the electric signal is not sent, that is, the rest time, equal to or longer than the energization time. For example, when muscle is used for 10 seconds, the combustion gas (lactic acid) of sugar (carbohydrate) accumulates and fatigue occurs. To avoid this, after 10 seconds of contraction movement, it corresponds to 1 to 1.5 times of that. Rest your muscles for 10 to 15 seconds.

On the other hand, when the skeletal muscle is exercised through electrical stimulation, it is necessary to set the pulse width (phase duration) appropriately. WIDTH is the time that electricity is flowing in one cycle, especially when rehabilitation is used by a person who cannot move his / her limbs after a stroke. Phase duration is a very important factor. In principle, the longer the current flow time is, the more effective it is to set the phase duration time (WDTH) to obtain a good result, but in the case of the average person, it is preferable to around 200㎲.

By applying the above-described method to appropriately set the warm-up, cool down and down time while applying different electrical stimulation (frequency, pulse width, etc.) for each body part, the exercise program according to the present invention is voluntary The exercise effect can be almost similar to the exercise.

 On the other hand, low-frequency pain therapies that treat pain using low-frequency electrical signals have the purpose of blocking the pain signals transmitted by the perceptual nerves by stimulating the perceptual nerves. Current is used. At this time, the low-frequency current flows not only into the perceptual nerve but also into the surrounding motor nerves, so that the muscles in the surroundings move. The muscle movements that occur are completely different from the movements. I can't. That is, although the low frequency treatment device to which the exercise program according to the present invention is applied and the pain relief or treatment device using the conventional low frequency signal are similar in the fact that both send current to the body, the movement of the muscles by the low frequency treatment device may be just moving. It does not, however, cause the exact contraction needed to produce a motor effect.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a flow chart of a preferred embodiment of a low frequency treatment method according to the present invention. First, the low frequency treatment device outputs a pain menu, muscle strengthening, and a pre-registered program menu (not shown), and then receives (selects) 101 of any one of the menus from the user. Thereafter, it is determined whether the selected menu is related to pain treatment (102), and if true, an electric signal suitable for pain treatment is selected (input) 103 within a predetermined range. The range of electrical signal suitable for pain treatment is 1 ~ 200Hz, 150 ~ 250μs pulse width, 1 ~ 60 minutes of operation duration, and the user can divide the above range into various steps as necessary. Applicable

On the other hand, if the determination result of step 102 is not true, it is determined whether it is a muscle strengthening menu (104), and if true, an electric signal suitable for muscle strengthening is selected (input) 105 within a preset range. The electric signal range suitable for muscle strengthening is preferably in the range of frequency 30 ~ 100Hz, pulse width 50 ~ 300μs, total exercise time 1 ~ 60 minutes, operating time and rest time 0.5 ~ 60 seconds respectively.

On the other hand, if the determination result of step 104 is not true, the program menu is output 106 and provided to the user, and any one of the program menus is selected (input) 107 from the user. Thereafter, the electric signal according to the selected program is set 108, and the electric signal selected or set in step 103, 104, or 108 is generated and output 109.
