Elastic resistance strap for use with protective helmets
Disclosed is an elastic exercise strap with a gripping portion that merges into a loop or aperture. The strap can be connected to a sports helmet by threading the extended gripping portion around a part the helmet and then inserted through the loop or aperture. By pulling on the attached strap the neck muscles can be exercised.
Archery training device
Embodiments herein describe an archery training device for improving shooting accuracy. The device has a rigid body graspable by one hand, an elastic section for providing resistance, and a string coupled to the elastic section with a loop on the opposite end. The device further includes an adjustable string length and adjustable resistance to match a particular configuration of a bow for a particular sporting enthusiast or hunter.
ELASTIC EXERCISE BAND
An elastic exercise band, including a main body, including a first section to receive a first portion of a body of a user thereon and resist at least partially deforming in response to an application of force thereto, and a second section disposed on at least a portion of the first section to receive a second portion of the body of the user thereon and resist at least partially deforming in response to the application of force thereto, and a plurality of surface linings disposed on at least a portion of the first section and the second section to prevent the first section and the second section from sliding away from the body of the user during exercise.
CORE TRAINER
A core training apparatus for the golf swing. A semicircular member is coupled with a support member, and a resistance member is connected to one of the coupling points. The resistance member is secured to a fixed point, and the user rotates the apparatus back and forth with the user standing at the center rotational axis of the semicircular member, with the resistance member being guided along the semicircular member. The back-and-forth rotation acts to increase and decrease tension on the resistance member thereby exercising the core of the user.
Multifunctional leg strengthening device
This present invention relates to a multifunctional leg strengthening device for users to strengthen the lower extremities. The multifunctional leg strengthening device includes a resistance band that is removably attached to an exercise ball, such that the resistance band can be easily held by the user's hand while holding the exercise ball between the calves or thighs for performing leg strengthening exercises. The innovative multifunctional leg strengthening device may comprise a rigid or flexible resistance band. Also, the band may feature a pocket to accommodate the rigid stick or rod inside the pocket. The rigid stick design helps accommodate those with decreased lower body strength, thereby ensuring the muscles can be strengthened and rehabilitated.
Exercise apparatus
A connector for a resistance band for strength training includes: a first connector configured for attachment to an end portion of an elastic, elongate first cable of the resistance band; and a second connector configured for attachment to an end portion of an elastic, elongate second cable of the resistance band and configured to detachably couple to the first connector. Each of the first and second connectors includes a pair of male mating features, and a pair of female mating features configured for removable receipt of the respective pair of male mating features.
LOW FRICTION REHABILITATION BOARD WITH AN INTEGRAL BAND RETAINING FEATURE AND METHODS OF REHABILITATION
A low friction rehabilitation board having an integral band retaining feature is described. The rehabilitation board may have a coefficient of static friction of no more than about 0.5 and in some embodiments no more than about 0.06. The rehabilitation board has a plurality of band retaining feature configured along one or both ends and may be an integral band retaining features being formed in the board. Additionally, the rehabilitation may include one or more band retaining features on one or both sides of the board. The unique configuration of the band retaining features enables rehabilitation method heretofore not possible with a single board. Resistance bands may be retained in the band retaining features and coupled to a user's limb, such as a foot or ankle, to resist motion, such as sliding or extending the foot along the low friction surface of the rehabilitation board.
EXERCISE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A workout device that allows for at home Nordic hamstring curls using a. doorframe or other immovable object is disclosed.
EXTENDABLE FITNESS BAR WITH INTERNAL RESISTANCE
An extendable fitness bar including an internal elastic member. The device includes two, hollow external bars with ends facing one another. On the interior of the two external bars is an internal bar and an elastic member that extends through the two external bars and the internal bar. The elastic member is attached to the far end of the first external bar and the second external bar. The user can grasp each external bar and separate them, exposing the interior bar and creating a longer continuous bar. This separation also causes the elastic member to stretch creating tension. The user may also twist the two bars in opposing directions (clockwise and counterclockwise) for additional stretches.
