FITNESS AND REHABILITATION AID
A fitness and rehabilitation aid is provided, using mostly centrifugal forces that are taking the body centre of mass from its natural position where the mutual configuration of the individual components, that create the aid, optimally stimulate the desired muscle parts. The aid consists of a loading head for achieving the desired centrifugal force and a handle for grasping by the user. The loading head and handle are interconnected by a flexible connecting component. A length of the flexible connecting component from the point where the flexible connecting component leaves the handle to the point where the connection of flexible connecting component and loading head occurs, i.e. the hole for entering of the connecting component to the loading head, equals at least 600 mm.
Rotation Sports Training System and Method
A sports rotation swing training system is provided that includes a harness assembly to be worn around the torso of the player that is used with a separate vertical upright structure. The harness assembly comprises a chest/waist band and a generally horizontally projecting stick protruding from the band side. The projecting stick is designed to engage with the separate upright structure upon the player’s execution of a swing to provide feedback (auditory, tactile, or electronic) related to the degree of rotation. The chest/waist band can be alternatively positioned by the user at the chest (to practice thoracic rotation) or at the waist (to practice pelvic rotation). In a preferable aspect of the invention, the angle of the projecting stick is adjustable downward from generally parallel to the ground.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRACTICING GOLF
A system and method for practicing golf, specifically for putting and chipping of a golf ball. The system utilizes a plurality of measuring members to determine a fall line and a curved line displaying of the best path of the ball based on the slope and measured distance from the golf ball on a green to the golf cup. Additional devices can be used alone or in coordination with the system to assist with the practicing.
STEP-ACTIVATED BALL TOSSING APPARATUS
A ball tossing device has a base and a lever, with the lever having a foot portion and a tossing portion, and the base acting as a fulcrum for the lever. In some examples, the foot portion and the tossing portion may be removably coupled to one another. In some examples, a method of using the ball tossing device includes a user placing a ball on the tossing portion, stomping a foot on the foot portion, thereby actuating the lever and tossing the ball upward from the tossing portion, and then hitting the ball with a bat.
Swing training system and method
A swing training system includes a base unit having a grapple that is movable between open and closed positions. A free end of an elongated swing device, such as a golf club or a hockey stick, is secured within the grapple. The swing device is manipulated to exert a force on the grapple and a load cell, away from the base unit, for a predetermined value, such as force and/or time. Relative movement between the grapple and the base is substantially limited while the swing device is manipulated. Once the predetermined value is attained, the grapple releases the free end of the swing device.
ADVANCED SYSTEM FOR PHYSICAL CONDITIONING AND SPORTS TRAINING
The present disclosure provides a system for conditioning and training, generally comprising a floor portion and at least one guide within a line of sight of the floor portion. The guide is configured to display training programs for a user to use to improve sports skills, such as hockey skills for example. In an embodiment, the floor portion has RFID tags to determine where a puck or other object is located. In another embodiment, the system has an apparatus to determine, verify or display a puck location. The apparatus can be either a camera or an AR unit such as glasses. Based on information provided and received, the system can tailor exercises for a user and provide enhanced statistics to improve skills.
Running Form Training Device
A running form training device for training a runner to properly position and move their arms includes a harness, a pair of bands, and a pair of cuffs. The harness can be donned by a user so that the harness is removably engaged to a torso of the user. The bands are resiliently stretchable. Each band is engaged to the harness so that the band extends from proximate to a front of a respective shoulder of the user. Each cuff is engaged to a first end of a respective band and is removably engageable to a respective wrist of the user. The bands draw the arms of the user toward the harness, thereby restricting movement and positioning of the arms to promote proper running form.
BASKETBALL DRIBBLING TEACHING AID SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
A system, method, and computer program product for teaching athletic ball skills is herein disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a device with a graphical user interface (GUI) and a ball. It further includes the step of displaying a first number on the GUI. The method further includes the step of performing a first action with the ball based on the displayed first number.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING SURF TRAINING INSTRUCTIONAL INFORMATION
A system and method for displaying surf training instructional information is used to improve a user's pop-up, as it relates to popping up on a surfboard, and improving one's surf fitness. The visual illustrations indicates the position of a surfer's hands, their body when lying on their surfboard and/or where their feet should land when they pop-up into their surfing stance on a surfboard, which can engraved, drawn or painted onto a surface of any type. The system and method also has visual instructional guidelines for performing exercises and stretches that can be done to improve a user's surf strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. By using this system and method a user will improve their pop-up (jump) and overall surf fitness in order to become a better surfer.
TENNIS TEACHING AID
Implementations herein provide for systems and methods related to teaching a beginner player how to play a sport with a net. In one implementation, a tennis training aid consists of two support posts and a cord. The cord is attached to each support post at substantially the same height and the cord is substantially parallel to a ground surface. The cord assists the player by acting as a dividing line between different sections of space.
