摘要

An exercise vest including a waist band belt fitting around a user's mid-section adjacent the apex of the thoratic curve. A pair of shoulder straps for connecting the belt to an unweighting system. A weight transfer strap having one end secured to a shoulder strap belt on the side of the user opposite the apex of the thoratic curve. The free end of the weight transfer strap connected to the belt at a position on the user's back adjacent the apex of the thoratic curve. A loop attached to the belt for redirecting the strap in a direction such that the strap has a vector component extending laterally across the user's back. Finally, an ischial tuberosity strap is positioned to extend beneath the gluteous fold of the user and has each of its ends connected to the belt at the front of the user.
