An aquatic game apparatus includes a target that is buoyant and configured to float on water. The target has a target portion that has a plurality of target openings for receiving a water skipping article. The target openings may have different opening sizes and different point values. The target portion may be rotated up a target angle from a base portion. The base portion contains floatation units that may be detachable to the target. One or more anchors, which may be fillable weight bags may be coupled to the target by straps and configured to retain the target in a position. The aquatic game apparatus may also contain a backstop having a net to capture water skipping articles that have missed the target. The target and/or the backstop may comprise inflatable floatation units. The target and/or the skipping article may glow in the dark.

A jumper apparatus may include a ring, a set of poles along the ring and a pneumatic tube. Each pole of the set of poles may have a first axial end portion inwardly extending towards a centerline of the ring, a second axial end portion outwardly extending away from the centerline of the ring and a vertical portion connecting the first axial end portion and the second axial end portion. The ring is vertically located between the first axial end portion and the second axial end portion of each pole. The pneumatic tube may extend about the set of poles over the second axial end portion of each pole.

The present invention comprises a novel self inflating, collapsible fall protection pad generally consisting of a single folding unit that utilizes the internal structure of the device in concert with air pressure to provide fall injury protection via a cushioning action. The internal structure of the device may create the self-inflation properties as well as assist in providing support during use. This structure may be comprised of layers of foam, laminated fabrics and a reinforcing yet flexible structure such as that provided by viscoelastic polymers. An air seal may also assist in providing cushion and a supportive structure by limiting air flow. While not in use, the system may fold or compress into a compact form that is easy to transport.

Apparatus (1) for the physical training of at least one of the limbs (40) of a living being, comprising a cuff (2) comprising an inflatable pouch (3), a device (4) for inflating the pouch (3), a system (5) for venting the pouch (3), a control unit (9) controlling the inflation device (4), said inflatable pouch (3) and the cuff (2) surrounding the pouch (3) being able to be positioned around a limb (40) that is to be trained so as to make it possible, when the pouch (3) is in the inflated state, to reduce the blood circulation through said limb (40). The training apparatus (1) comprises an air reserve (6) connected to the pouch (3) for transfer of air between the pouch (3) and the air reserve (6) at least when the pouch is deformed, and a pressure sensor (7) configured to measure the pressure of the air circuit, at least part of which is formed by the fluidic connection (8) between the inflatable pouch (3) and the air reserve (6).

A ball lifting device of the present disclosure, which employs a spiral ball transporting method for smoothly moving a ball, can move along a free path, is easy to be installed and operated, and has excellent durability and strength. The ball lifting device can be installed indoors as well as outdoors for educational, entertainment or viewing purposes. The ball lifting device can quickly move inflated balls filled with air used in ball games, and can be installed in connection with sports facilities as an automatic ball supply system.

A fitness device is provided, the fitness device comprising: a spheroidal member having an interior cavity, the spheroidal member comprising a cylindrical portion extending between a first hemispherical endcap and a second hemispherical endcap, wherein a surface of the spheroidal member defines an aperture positioned between the interior cavity and an exterior of the spheroidal member; and a structured surface positioned on the surface of the spheroidal member over the aperture, the structured surface extending into the interior cavity of the spheroidal member.

A swim cap for persons having long hair includes a shell preferably having at least two interconnected compartments for receiving and encapsulating the hair of a user. The swim cap is secured around the head of a user by at least one draw string or adjustable band positioned within a channel near the open end of the swim cap as well as a chin strap extending downwardly from the cap. The interconnected compartments can be inflated to provide buoyancy. The shell further includes an outer layer and an inner layer defining a space therebetween that can also be inflated, or comprised of buoyant material, to provide buoyancy. A pump, compressed air canister or manual filler tube in communication with the interconnected compartments or space within the shell can be used to provide inflation. A pair of ear flaps extends downwardly from the swim cap around a user's head.

A sportswear garment comprising means for adjustably compressing at least one major vein in a user's limb such that blood flow through the at least one major vein is restricted.

Aspects herein provide for an apparel item having an integrated parachute structure and a set of intake ducts. The parachute structure is configured to transition from a first slack state to a second inflated state subsequent to air entering the set of intake ducts incident to ground locomotion of the wearer thereby increasing air resistance to wearer movement.

A versatile physical therapy system for aiding in pelvic alignment, shoulder support and isometric exercise features a support body, comprising: a support body face, a support body back, a support body front, a support body back, a support body left side, and a support body right side, a left notch, and a right notch. The support body front may feature a first hook and loop component; and the support body back may feature a second hook and loop component. The system may feature a support strap having means to secure the support strap to the support body when in place on a user. The support strap holds the support body in place when the user compresses the support body and permits the user to engage in outward isometric exercise while holding the support body in place.
