A boxing training accessory comprises a hand held punching pad with an image of a human face that has a small boxing bag hanging from a lower part of it, representing a human chin/jaw. The accessory provides a more specific target for a user to practice striking techniques and striking combinations while also providing a more realistic look and feel. The training accessory is useful across a range of combat sports including boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, karate, taekwondo, MMA and others.

An extendible and collapsible stand holds and stores a bowling ball for a bowler during bowling activities. This stand can have a tapered shape from a base up to a seat on which the bowling ball sits. Multiple extension segments can be slidably connected together in this tapered shape and can individually extend and lock to vary or adjust the height of the stand. The seat forming the top of the stand has a concave shape to provide a compatible surface for which the ball will rest. The seat can also have a lighting means for shining light downward onto the stand base and surface supporting the stand. When not in use, the stand height can collapse down for efficient carry by the user.

A martial arts training equipment includes a base mount, a post upwardly extending from the base mount, an elastic branch tube including a post sleeve sleeved onto the post, and at least one branch sleeve extending from the post sleeve, and at least one rod having an end inserted into or sleeved onto the at least one branch sleeve. Compared to the conventional Wooden Man Post, the martial arts training equipment is lightweight and convenient for carry and transportation, and the portion of the martial arts training equipment to be punched or kicked by a user is provided with satisfied buffering cushion and elasticity so as to prevent the user from uncomfortable feeling, and no bothersome noise will produce during training.

A protective case for large objects including a lock housing formed from a first section and a second section, both of the sections including at least one external subsection and at least one internal subsection configured to telescope inside the external subsection; and an extension lock comprising a lock housing and a compression lock, the lock housing including a screw-threaded channel, and the compression comprising at least one screw-threaded shaft with a compressive component on the interior end and a lock handle on the exterior end, the screw-threaded shaft configured to matingly engage with the screw-threaded channel of the lock housing; the compression lock configured to descend in the lock housing and compressingly lock the internal subsection in an extended position upon locking rotation of the compression lock; and the compression lock configure to ascend in the lock housing upon unlocking rotation of the cam latch.

An electro-mechanical displacement exercise apparatus for processing a maximum force potential of an athlete, including a frame a frame including a platform, wherein a section of the platform is connected to a tower, whereby the tower houses control means for manipulating a tension supporting member connected to a force bearing member, a first pull location, whereby the first pull location is positioned on the platform and within the frame and whereby the first pull location is operatively connected with a portion of the tension supporting member, whereby a user may exert a force on the tension supporting member operatively connected to a first actuator; and wherein the first actuator is housed within the tower, and whereby the first actuator includes a motor coupled to a gearbox.

A catching game for two to six players. Each team stands behind their own goal—the two goals are 12 yards apart. Each team member takes turns trying to throw a flying disc (Frisbee) through the opposite goal (12 yards away). The person throwing must stand behind their own goal—either directly behind it or next to it, but no closer than 12 yards away. Their Opponents also stand behind their own goal and will try to catch the Frisbee if it comes through this goal. Once caught or dropped, this player then tries to throw it back towards the other team's goal where their opponent is also standing behind waiting to try to catch the Frisbee. Players take turns in catching and throwing and can only score points if the Frisbee goes through their opponent's goal and is not caught.

An adapter device for use with an exercise bench for weight lifting is disclosed. The device includes first and second lateral arms, spaced transversely from each other and arranged externally side by side to the respective lateral edges of the exercise bench, and a main resting platform. The lateral arms and the platform define a supporting surface of the subject's body substantially “U”-or “C”-like shaped integrally adaptable in height and width to the exercise bench. The elevation legs of the supporting surface are configured to support the lateral arms and the platform in an elevated position with respect to a walking plane and substantially placed side by side to said bench surface. In use, the supporting surface receives a lateral part of the subject's torso at the lateral arms and the lower limbs of the latter at the platform.

A net system comprising a central hub having a main body including exposed upper and lower ends, and a plurality of longitudinal hub connectors in spaced relation to each other. The net system additionally includes a first and second net modules, each including a net having an upper end and a lower end, and a longitudinal net connector connected to the net. The longitudinal net connector includes an upper end adjacent the upper end of the net and a lower end adjacent the lower end of the net, with each longitudinal net connector extending continuously between its upper end and its lower end. The first and second longitudinal net connectors are configured to be detachably engageable to respective ones of the plurality of longitudinal hub connectors to facilitate connection of the first and second net modules to the hub connector.

Basketball goals may incorporate folding rim assemblies which can be packaged and transported pre-mounted to certain backboard assemblies. Alternately, folding rim assemblies can be sold separately or packaged with a backboard for on-site mounting. Some basketball rim assembles may incorporate a break-away mechanism using a leaf spring. The leaf spring biases the rim bracket and resiliently resists downward pivotal movement of the rim bracket and rim. When the rim is rotated downward under an applied force, the leaf spring is flexed, biasing the rim to return to a static playing position when the force is removed.

An exercise workstation includes a treadmill, a pedal exercise device disposed on or next to the treadmill, and a chair pivotally secured to the exercise workstation. The chair can be repositioned relative to the treadmill, such as above or to the side of the treadmill. A pivot arm is pivotally connected to a pivot joint to permit multiple positional adjustments of the chair. The pivot joint may be connected to the treadmill in fixed or movable position. The exercise workstation may include or be positioned adjacent to one or more work surfaces, such as a height adjustable desk or table.
