A gyroscopic hand trainer: how to use it?

The gyroscopic hand trainer is designed forThe gyro-based device is a device that was previously widely used to determine spatial directions. Currently, the device is used, mainly, people who are susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome. The started stage of the syndrome requires serious inpatient treatment. To avoid such problems, it is recommended to prevent the development of wrist joints. And for this, as well as possible, the gyroscopic simulator approaches.

Design

Externally, gyroscopic trainers are outlineda small spherical object. The base of the case, in most cases, is made of strong plastic of different colors and a level of transparency. At the same time, there is a whole mass of metal models of gyroscopic simulators. However, such variants differ slightly in an overestimated value and are used, mainly, by advanced sportsmen.

The gyroscopic simulator may containtop of the electronic speed meter. Some models with reduced cost have only a seat for similar accessories, which can be purchased separately, if necessary.

At the bottom of the simulator there is an openArea through which you can see the work of the rotor. It is launched using a special thread. The body of such devices, often covered with elastic rubber pads, which contributes to a confident retention of the simulator in the hand.

Separately, mention should be made of the lightinggyroscopic simulators for training hands. For example, the torneo gyroscopic simulator, like a whole mass of other popular models, has dynamic illumination, where the brightness of the glow and its shade vary, based on the intensity of brush movements and the rotor speed.

Principle of operation

As already noted above, it functionsgyroscopic simulator based on a rapidly rotating rotor in the middle of the plastic sphere. At the heart of the training is the execution of circular, rotational movements with the hand, which adds additional rotations to the spinning rotor. Rotating the simulator with the activated rotor results in an effect on the brush of oppositely directed forces, which requires a strong retention of the device in the hand.

Running the rotor together with the inclination of the simulator inside forces the axis of the device to move along special grooves - upper and lower. The frictional force between the axes and the groove structure can slow down or accelerate the rotation of the internal gyro. The maximum acceleration becomes most pronounced when the rotor axes acquire the most smooth sliding along the grooves.

The presence of a friction force plays a decisive role intraining with a gyroscopic simulator. Therefore, to achieve a noticeable effect, it is not recommended to lubricate the mechanisms of such devices.

What is useful gyroscopic simulator?

The behavior of a gyroscopic simulator witha neglected rotor somewhat resembles the action of a top or toy yo-yo. However, unlike these devices, the "gyroscope" makes it possible to enjoy the smooth operation of the internal mechanism, to develop joint flexibility, to train muscles and hands, to achieve high results, to fix own records.

To acquire a gyroscopic simulator (250 Hz),or devices of any other capacity is recommended to people whose daily activities are related to the need to perform the same type of movements with hands in a sitting position. Efforts that will have to be applied to the exercises on the gyroscopic simulator, will activate not only the joints and muscles of the hand, but also force the forearms and the entire shoulder girdle.

The gyroscopic simulator - how to use?

The work of gyroscopic simulators is possible withabsence of any batteries. To activate the rotor of the device, it is usually sufficient for its establishment to use a special cord with active rotational movements with a hand.

To increase the complexity of the exercise on the simulator,performing rotational brush movements in the opposite direction to the rotor speed. This approach leads to the emergence of resistance between the oppositely directed forces, which will force the muscles to overcome additional stress. In this case, the effect of the simulator is not only on the wrist area, but also on the shoulder zone.

To use the simulator does not require special training or a certain level of physical development. The device is suitable for users of all ages, including children and older people.

Exercises for training on a gyroscopic simulator

1. Triceps training needs maximumdense grasp of the simulator body with your fingers. In the initial position, the hand is in a relaxed state, lowered downwards. The essence of the exercise is to perform rotational movements of the forearm in the front direction in a clockwise direction with a gradual increase in the speed of rotation.
2. Exercises on the biceps consist in lifting andlowering the arm bent at the elbow joint with the simulator clamped in the wrist. To train the biceps, smooth, rhythmic rotational movements of the brush are also performed. With the most active movements, the whole upper part of the arm is additionally trained.
3. Training of pectoral muscles involves holdingsimulator on the arm extended to the side. Performing rotational movements with a brush is so active that there are loads on the entire arm and the muscles of the chest, right down to the neck.
4. To train your fingers, it is enough to producerotation, firmly holding the machine with your hand. Load on the fingers can be adjusted by moving the simulator closer to their endings or to the palm of your hand. To achieve high results and increase the effectiveness of training, it is recommended to change the sides of rotation.

Who can you please with a gyroscopic simulator?

The gyroscopic simulator can become effectivea means of overcoming the carpal tunnel squeezing syndrome, relieving muscle fatigue, and developing joints and wrist muscles for the following categories of users:

• office workers with experience;
• people whose activities are associated with the need for a long stay in a sedentary, sedentary position;
• users who have to spend most of the day in front of the computer;
• older people that suffer from a lack of activity;
• schoolchildren and students that they need to develop fine finger motility or overcome the chronic constriction of the wrist joint.
