A method and device for providing performance feedback to a user during a session of using exercise equipment including measuring user input during the session using at least one sensor to gather sensor data, and transmitting the sensor data to a processing device. The sensor data is evaluated to determine at least one of a force metric, a frequency metric, and an accuracy metric. The at least one of the force metric, the frequency metric and the accuracy metric are compared to at least one predetermined performance goal. Audio and/or visual feedback is provided to the user based on the comparison of the at least one of the force metric, the frequency metric, and the accuracy metric with the at least one predetermined performance goal. The audio feedback includes varying a musical playback in at least one of speed, volume, and pitch.

A hanging tube is pivotally connected to the universal joint for rotation about the second pivot axis, and releasably secured to a mounting plate. A plurality of attachment members are rigidly attachable at spaced locations around the mounting plate to surround the hanging tube and configured for attachment to straps at the upper end of a heavy punching bag.

There is provided a high bar assembly attachable to a door frame, the assembly comprising: first and second door frame attachments secured to a door frame, wherein first and second door frame attachments are secured to first and second opposite inner side walls of the door frame respectively; first and second retainers protruding inwardly from the first and second door frame attachments in a monolithic or integrated manner therewith respectively; first and second bar supports retained or supported by the first and second retainers, wherein each bar support has a retainer groove in a first end thereof, wherein each retainer is slidably and removably fitted with each retainer groove in a horizontal direction, wherein each bar support is secured to each door frame attachment, wherein the second end of each support bar protrudes horizontally beyond the door frame by a predetermined distance; and an elongate bar passing through the second ends of the first and second bar supports.

The suspension strap assembly for a punching bag is an apparatus that is configured for use in physical training. The suspension strap assembly for a punching bag suspends a heavy bag in a manner appropriate for use in the physical training for boxing activities. The suspension strap assembly for a punching bag comprises a superior mount, a suspension apparatus, and a heavy bag. The suspension apparatus attaches the heavy bag to the superior mount. The heavy bag provides a target used for physical training. The superior mount suspends the suspension apparatus and the heavy bag from a load bearing structure such that the load of the suspension apparatus and the heavy bag are incorporated into the load path of a building or structure.

An attachment kit for a heavy bag includes a securing strap having a length between a first end and a second end and a securing mechanism configured to retain the securing strap about a perimeter of the heavy bag. The kit includes a plurality of connecting straps, each of the plurality of connecting straps comprising a length between a first connecting end and a second connecting end, wherein the first connecting end is configured to be positioned about the securing strap. The kit includes a tether having a top end and a bottom end, the top end configured to couple to each of the second connecting ends of the plurality of connecting straps and a bottom end is configured to couple to an anchor, wherein when the securing strap is secured about a perimeter of the heavy bag and the tether is secured to the anchor, movement of a lower end of the heavy bag is limited.

The present invention is a device for measuring and displaying the speed, force, rate and/or frequency that an object or a body part strikes a target. The present invention includes an impact sensor, transmitter, computer and display. The sensor includes layers of alternating conductive and non-conductive material that are wrapped around the target. The conductive layers of fabric generate electrical impulses when they come into contact with each other through perforations in the non-conductive material. These signals are interpreted by the computer to derive information about the speed of the strike against the target.

A system for securing exercise equipment including an elongate suspended rail and at least one braking device. The at least one braking device including a brake plate, a wheel assembly, a spring, and an actuator. The system wherein the braking device is arranged with the rail such that the braking device can be secured at any point along the rail.

A sports apparatus comprising a boxing body, a boxing body receptacle, and a holding apparatus for holding the boxing body receptacle, wherein the holding apparatus and the boxing body receptacle are designed to hold the boxing body in a starting position, wherein the holding apparatus and the boxing body are designed such that the boxing body can be displaced, in particular elastically, out of the starting position by the action of a boxing punch, and is then returned to the starting position. The sports apparatus also comprises an output apparatus which is designed to selectively output user information to the user of the sports apparatus

Disclosed is an apparatus for performing motor activity of punch bag or similar type, the apparatus is capable of generating sensory stimuli and included a body having light sources controlled by a control unit and a sensor.

A boxing bag mount includes an attachment plate for attaching the boxing bag thereto. The attachment plate includes a central post extending upwardly from a central point thereof. The central post includes an attachment formation for mounting the boxing bag mount to the structure, such as an attachment point for a chain, link or similar. The boxing bag mount additionally includes a pivot mounted to the central post in a rotatable manner. The pivot includes socket formations extending in opposing lateral directions thereof. The boxing bag mount additionally includes feature arms which are attachable to the socket formations in a removable manner. In the example shown, one arm has a feature which is a padded hit pad and another arm has a feature which is a padded extended duck bar.
