Typical sports support methods have a possibility that people will acquire a form which puts a burden on one part of the body or a form which cannot exert sufficient power and a problem that an instructor who gives guidance is essential.

As a result, the range of movement of the lower body increased by the assist suit and there are individual differences in whether to acquire a swing with twisting the lower body.
