Disclosed is a slackline activity device including a main line and an anchor line configured to be tautly connected to each other and suspended between fixed objects. The mainline includes two webbings which form pockets. The pockets are locations where the two webbings are not in contact with either other, surrounded by two locations where the webbings are in contact with each other. The pockets may be formed by the webbings being fixed to each other or being woven together. Hangers, such as carabineers, are inserted into the pockets, and activity devices are suspended therefrom. Such a device may be used for recreation and exercise.

A wrist hooking glove of various embodiments assists athletes in reaching and maintaining a false grip while performing ring exercises. A false grip is where a wrist is above a ring. A false grip is difficult to achieve and maintain but is needed to perform the iron cross and muscle up maneuvers. A disclosed embodiment includes a completion style wrist hooking glove comprising one or more protrusions 700 secured to the mid to upper palm edge or protrusion area 400 of a glove 300. The protrusions provide leverage upon a ring, such as an Olympic ring. The artful integration of the protrusions with the glove helps to dissipate hand strain during ring exercises. The disclosed embodiments do not damage existing rings and do not require modification of existing rings. The disclosed embodiments may be worn while performing other exercises unrelated to rings.

A pulley system of an exercise device for suspended weight training includes a first block with a first pulley, a second pulley, and a first attachment point. A second block is removably coupled to a weight and includes a third pulley and a second attachment point. A grip is configured to be held by a user while exercising and has a third attachment point. A line having a first line end is fixedly coupled to the grip and a second line end fixedly is coupled to a connection element. The connection element is configured to be selectively coupled to each of the first attachment point, the second attachment point, and the third attachment point, permits a user to reduce an effective amount of the weight lifted by the user with movement of the grip to a pre-selected fraction of the weight.

Workout kit for improvement of the physical conditions, based on a flexible, non-resilient telescopic belt, wherein the belt consists of a ribbon-shaped elongated section, taking a U-shaped profile, when it extends from two end sections going down, to a height adjustable, using fixing and fastening means.

In the central area of the belt, a flat stiff support is inserted and integrated with said belt using pairs of fixing means with which the perfect horizontality of the flat stiff support is adjusted. The user exerts the effort component and the proprioceptive component related to a particular movement, making use of a wide range of values of instability of an oscillating apparatus, comprising destabilizing means, such as hanging weights, in a symmetrical or asymmetrical position with respect to the center of the support.

Implementations of a training rig are provided. In some implementations, the training rig comprises a first strip of material having a first loop on a first end of the first strip of material and a plurality of openings positioned along the length of the first strip of material. In some implementations, the first strip of material is used with a tie-down ratchet system to secure the first strip of material between a pair of trees sufficiently high enough so that a user can swing from hanging objects secured to the first strip of material. Hanging objects are attached to the first strip of material using the openings in the first strip of material. In another implementation, a wire having formed along its length loops using the wire are secured between a pair of trees using chains, a turnbuckle, and a carabiner. Hanging objects are attached to the wire using the openings formed by the loops.

Apparatus suitable for pilates and other exercise comprises rails, supported on a box-like frame and an exercise carriage, mounted on the rails, wherein the carriage comprises a first carriage section and a second carriage section which sections can be (i) connected together to form a single exercise carriage which slides forwards and backwards on the rails, or (ii) disconnected to form two exercise carriages which independently slide forwards and backwards on the rails. The apparatus also has a seat with a spring-biased foot pedal and a spring-biased trapeze bar.

Disclosed is an element for gripping an item of sports equipment, including a core made of composite material having a fibrous framework included in a polymer matrix. The gripping element has an external layer enveloping the core and having an interwoven textile material, separate from the framework, that is partially embedded in the matrix and emerges from the matrix onto an outer surface of the gripping element. Also disclosed is a handrail of a gymnastics apparatus and to an item of sports equipment having such a gripping element, as well as a method for manufacturing such a gripping element.
