DEVICE FOR TRAINING LEG MUSCLES AND COORDINATION OF MOVEMENTS IN CHILDREN, WITH ELEMENTS OF INTELLECTUAL GAMES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A63B21/15 A63B23/04 

FIELD: sports.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of sport and game simulators and can be used for harmonious development and perfection of a child. The proposed device comprises a personal computer (PC) which consists of a system unit, two optical mice, a display and a keyboard, a pulse sensor continuously recording the pulse rate, and a block of programs that controls the computer operation. The simulator has a movable disc for feet, mounted on a ball joint of the power unit that has the ability of rotational and vibrational motions in different planes, a handrail for a child's hand with the button "enter" from the left key of one of the optical mice, reading the movement of the ball joint on which the disc is mounted and showing the movement of the cursor along the route on the display, and the adjustment unit of the disc travel force on the power unit is made in the form of a worm mechanism regulating the compressive force of the ball joint. Two optical mice are mounted on the side and in front on the recesses of the cup with the ball joint, at that the mouse located in parallel to the handrail, reads the motion of the disc back and forth, and the mouse located perpendicular to the handrail, reads the motion of the disc from side to side.

EFFECT: increasing coordination of movement in children imitating descent from the mountain on a slalom track, monitored with use of the computer and an optical mouse on the display screen.
