A mobile exercise device (1) having a plurality of exercise equipment modules (2, 3, 4). Each said module including a frame (7, 8, 9) defining a space (10, 11, 12) adapted to receive exercise equipment. A plurality of mounting means (46) locatable on said frames to connect said modules together. A plurality of indicators (30) operatively associated with said modules and adapted in use to direct a user and/or trainer to the equipment to use for a particular exercise routine.

A protective screen apparatus including a central protective screen, and a free-standing, hinged side wing. Hinged side wing may be configured and capable of being rapidly decoupled from a primary frame of the central protective screen. The hinged side wing may be readily moved from the right to the left side of the primary frame, thereby easily converting the protective screen apparatus to left-handed configuration or right-handed configuration. Some embodiments include spring biasing of the hinged side wing to absorb at least some ball impact when the hinged side wings pivots upon being struck with a ball. Methods of reconfiguring and protecting a batter with the protective screen apparatus, and an attachable/detachable ball basket are provided, as are other aspects.

The present disclosure provides a basketball stopping apparatus arranged for attachment to a basketball goal assembly. In some embodiments, the basketball stopping apparatus is configurable between a first position and a second position, the first position being arranged for the deflection of errant basketball shots and the second position being arranged for storage of the basketball stopping apparatus before and/or after use. Additionally, some embodiments include a wall coupled to base arms that are pivotably mounted to a bottom end of the basketball goal assembly.

Embodiments disclosed herein describe systems and methods for a retrieval tool, which is configured to secure object in place within the retrieval tool responsive to the object engaging with the retrieval tool. The retrieval tool may be utilized to grasp, secure, hold, etc. objects in a plurality of different circumstances, such as disc golf, grasping an object at a hard to reach place, more easily holding an object, etc.

A net deployment system is adapted to deploying a net around a desired area having a wall adjacent to a floor. The net deployment system has a first swing arm, pivotally attached to the wall and further attached to the wall with a first support cable. A second swing arm is pivotally attached to the wall and further attached to the wall with a second support cable. A plurality of net support cables join the first swing arm and the second swing arm. A net storage bag is attached to the first swing arm with a first frame cable. A second frame cable is attached to the first frame cable and further attached to the wall between the first frame cable and the second frame cable. A net is housed in the bag and connected to the plurality of set support cables. Pulling the first swing arm away from the wall by rotating the second swing arm lowers the net storage bag toward the floor and deploys the net.

A training or exercise apparatus may have a base and an adjacent movable armature or frame that carries a riding member, or shuttle, or carrier. The carrier has an engagement interface with an element of sporting or exercise equipment. The sporting or exercise equipment is engaged by the user, typically by being grasped. The apparatus defines a physical or virtual schedule describing an arc for a swing in the particular activity. The apparatus may include a manual or electronic means of imposing resistance to the motion. This resistance may be adjustable, and may be programmable as a function of one or both of position and speed. The apparatus may include an array of sensors such as may be used to determine the pre-existing stroke, and such as may be monitored during training to assess progress. The apparatus may be operated passively, or it may be operated interactively in a manner in which real-time feedback causes the apparatus to adjust resistance to the motion.

Ball with line (20) for training purposes where the line (20) is rotatably attached to the ball in a special suspension, the suspension of the line being arranged in a particular cavity (14) arranged in a confined space between the ball's airtight bladder (13) and its outer layer (12). The cavity (14) typically has circular cross section and may include a centre member (21) to which the line is attached and an annular element (24) surrounding this, optionally comprising a battery for providing power to a sensor and optionally to a communication device.
