A forearm assessment and training device has a main support, a plurality of finger motion transmission members, a plurality of finger receivers, and a control module. Each of the finger motion transmission members has a member body with a first end and a second end. The first end of the member body of each of the finger motion transmission members is connected to the main support. Each of the finger receivers is connected to the member body of one of the finger motion transmission members. Each of the finger receivers has a finger aperture. The control module is connected to the main support. The control module includes a control module processor, a control module memory, and a sensor. The sensor is configured to measure a force applied to at least one of the finger motion transmission members.

A wearable exercise apparatus may include one or more of: a torso support including an abdominal frame, a chest frame, a shoulder frame, a back frame, an arm frame, a first guide, a wrist frame, a second guide, a glove, a dial rotatably connected to the chest frame, a string connected to the dial, at least partially wound around the dial, and passing through an inner space of each of the torso support and the first guide, and an elastic band having one end connected to the string and the other end connected to the wrist frame or the glove, passing through an inner space of each of the arm frame and the second guide, and extending or contracting by a tension of the string.

A physical training system includes a belt for fixing around the waist of a person and that includes a plurality of belt extension straps each adapted for fixing with the belt at any location therearound and preferably adjustable in length. Two shoes are adapted for wearing on the person's feet, each shoe including at least four attachment loops at opposing quadrants of the shoe and optional shoe extension straps. A plurality of elastomeric bands are selectively fixable between any of the belt extensions straps and the attachment loops or shoe extension straps of the shoes. A shoulder harness comprising two straps is included for attachment to and positioning of the belt. As such, in use, the person while running experiences resistance as each leg extends into a fully extended position, and a reduction or cessation of resistance as each leg retracts into a non-extended position.

A training aid to correct arm position during the pulling phase of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, or crawl also referred to as freestyle, when swimming. The disclosed tool provides physical pressure to correct a common swimming error. Said tool prevents medial rotation of the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder rotator cuff during the catch and pull portion of swimming.

A holding device for using gym equipment for the purpose of muscle building training. The holding device has a handle part and a bracket, and the hand of a person using the holding device can be inserted between the handle part and the bracket. The hand side of the handle part is convexly curved with the exception of local depressions and/or perforations, and parts for releasably securing a dumbbell plate can be releasably secured to the lower face of the handle part. The hand side of the handle part has four groove-shaped depressions which are dimensioned and spaced from one another such when using the holding device as intended with a hand placed on the hand side, each finger is positioned in a respective depression of the groove-shaped depressions with the exception of the thumb.

An exercise device including an outer portion and an inner portion positioned within the outer portion. The inner and outer portions are attached together at a wrist portion in a fluid sealed manner to form a fluid tight cavity between the inner and outer portions. The inner and outer portions are be shaped and sized to provide at least one fluid flow channel or path extending from the wrist portion to a finger portion to allow fluid to flow from the wrist portion to the finger portion and back again, when a user is conducting reciprocating exercises and the fluid cavity is at least partially filled with fluid.

A yoga band is configured with a retainer band loop for donning around a hand, wrist or foot and both an inner pose strap and an outer pose strap that may be elastic to enable stretching and holding of poses. The inner pose strap and an outer pose enable different levels or extensions for performing yoga poses, or a progressive stretching from the outer pose strap to the inner pose strap, for example. A yogi may extend the outer pose strap initially, as it may extend further than the inner pose strap, and therefore may be easier to reach and hold the yoga pose. As the yogi progresses, they may extend the inner pose strap which is shorter in length, thereby achieving a greater stretch. The inner and outer pose straps are coupled with a retainer strap component of the retainer band loop to provide a secure support.

An assistive stretching device worn by a user to reduce physical stress while lifting to aid another individual in stretching and method is disclosed. The device includes a belt sized to fit around the torso of the user, first and second pulleys supported on the belt, first and second wrist attachments; first and second ankle attachments; first and second cords threaded through corresponding pulleys with one end attached to corresponding ankle attachments and the opposite end attached to corresponding wrist attachments. The pulleys operate to change the direction of the lifting force, making it easier to lift and stretch the anterior aspects of the musculature of the individual rather than lifting dead weight. An attachment including a dual pulley system may replace the first and second pulleys and includes an arm supporting a pulley at each end and openings to provide leverage adjustments when attaching the arm to the belt.

Embodiments disclosed herein offer protective restraint of the hand by securing it with a wrist tie to a padded transparent hard-shell hand restraint with wrist tie slots, multiple ventilation holes, a detachable flexible soft under wrap and a hinging ball-bearing style attachment point for optional attachment to a restraint arm rod and staff-directed upward displacement for enhanced access to the hand, and slots for a resistance band tie for enhanced exercise and intermediate level of restraint and a rigid tie.

A joint extension system that embodies a method of exercise that applies progressive accommodating resistance to joint extension during closed-chain movement.
