A protective frame, comprising: a plurality of stripes comprising an elastic material; and configured to cooperate to define a plurality of openings; wherein the frame is configured to be positioned on the edges of a rectilinear polyhedron; and wherein the frame is deformable from a rest position to an operative position; and wherein, in the operative position, the stripes of the frame are configured to cover respective edges of the rectilinear polyhedron.

Embodiments of the subject invention are directed to a training box or device used by an athlete to practice pole vaulting. The interior region of the training box is open, i.e. the base of the training box does not cover the interior of the device and thus there is no front edge. This invention is used to teach and train athletes pole vaulters who prefer to slide their vaulting poles on the ground instead using the prevailing method which involves carrying a pole as they run towards the box and placing the tip of the pole inside the training box. The training box may include electronics capability for measuring performance characteristics of pole vaulters such as the average speed of a pole.

A stationary jumping and trick bike is disclosed. An example device includes a frame assembly having a handlebar on a forward portion of the frame assembly and a seat on the frame assembly. A leg member including a leaf spring is connected to the frame assembly by a bracket having a plurality of ports selectable for pivotably attaching the leg member to the frame assembly to adjust pitch and/or angle of attachment of the leg member. A plurality of tensioners are connected between the leg member and the frame assembly. A foot rest is provided on the frame assembly. A standing and/or seated user holding the handlebar on the frame assembly can practice jumps and tricks by lifting and landing a lower portion of the leg member on a solid surface.

The disclosure provides embodiments of a training device and related methods of use.

An athletic training box that includes firm planar surfaces that transition to soft edges. On the outer surface of the athletic training box the soft edges transition directly from the outer surface into a rounded foam edge without a ridge, or substantial obstacle being presented to cause a safety hazard. An internal frame structure is provided within the athletic training box to support the planar surfaces receiving the force of the jump while also maintaining the square 90 degree angles, and thus the parallel jump surfaces of the athletic training box.

A durable and impact-resistant exercise apparatus that is portable, modular, stackable, and weight-adjustable to allow a user to perform a variety of isolated lower body, core, and upper body resistance training exercises as well as full-body strength training exercises to improve a fitness of the user. The exercise apparatus is configured both as a platform for supporting the user during a first plurality of exercises as well as a weighted body for being lifted or moved by the user during a second plurality of exercises.

Hockey training devices generally include a frame, and a flexible band coupled to the frame. At least one spring may be coupled to at least one longitudinal end of the flexible band. A plurality of backstop structures may be coupled to the frame to extend substantially orthogonal to a top surface of the frame. A first rebounder wing may be coupled to a first side of the frame, and a second rebounder wing may be coupled to a second side of the frame. The first and second rebounder wings may each include a respective wing structure coupled to the frame, and a respective flexible band extending between a portion of the respective wing structure and either the frame or the first flexible band. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
