A trampoline frame pad system for use in conjunction with a trampoline having a jumping mat that is operably attached to a support frame. The trampoline frame pad system includes a foam core, a protective cover, a cover tightening mechanism and a primary pad attachment mechanism. The foam core has a first surface. The protective cover has an opening that is adapted to receive the foam core. The cover tightening mechanism is attached to the protective cover so that the cover tightening mechanism is capable of substantially tightening the protective cover over the first surface without the cover tightening mechanism extending over the first surface. The primary pad attachment mechanism is attached to the protective cover so that the primary pad attachment mechanism is capable of removably attaching the trampoline frame pad to the support frame.

An open field game arrangement includes glowing targets and provides responses, such as lights and sounds, when the targets are hit.

A balancing exercise rod apparatus for working out while walking or jogging includes a grip bar having a left end and a right end. A pair of wheels is coupled to the grip bar. The pair of wheels includes a left wheel and a right wheel rotatably coupled to the left end and the right end of the grip bar, respectively. Each of the wheels has a hub rotatably coupled to the grip bar, a plurality of spokes extending from the hub, and a rim portion. The rim portion has an inner side, an outer side, an interior face, and an exterior face. The plurality of spokes extends from the hub to the interior face. A plurality of wheel weights is coupled to the pair of wheels. The plurality of wheel weights is coupled within the rim portion.

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 golf launching monitoring arrangement allows equipment to be placed at a position behind the player (i.e., behind the golf ball), to measure both club and ball movement. A 3D scan of the club head before the play serves two purposes: 1) 3D registration that enables accurate measurement of the club head position and orientation for the camera system measuring the club movement from the back; 2) for reconstruction of the launching scene. With a 3D model of the club head, a simple 3D model of the golf ball and accurate measurement of their movement during the play, a full 3D golf launching scene can be reconstructed authentically. With this reconstruction, the movement of both the club head and the resulting ball movement can be replayed at any viewing angle, with any frame rate and at whatever resolution for the players or the coaches to view and analyze.

A method, including scanning a golf club to obtain scanning information; inputting the scanning information into a processing system; using at least one camera positioned behind and in-line to a golf swing direction and at least one lighting unit to obtain a series of images of a golf club during the golf swing; converting the series of images into parameterized motion representations; using at least one radar to obtain a radar signal; inputting the parameterized motion representations and the radar signal into the processing system; receiving golf club parameters and golf swing parameters as an output of the processing system; and generating a visual model of the golf club and the golf swing in a virtual space using the golf club parameters and the golf swing parameters.

An illuminated toss bag includes an outer shell configured to form a toss bag defining an internal portion for receiving and retaining filling material; one or more illuminating portions disposed within the internal portion; and a hidden enclosing feature disposed along a seam of outer shell of the toss bag selectively providing access to the internal portion of the toss bag, wherein the filling material comprises a semi-transparent pellet shaped material, the one or more illuminating portions comprise a housing enclosing a power source, one or more illumination sources, and at least one switch, and the at least one switch controls operation of the one or more illumination sources, when the at least one switch is depressed for at least one second.

An apparatus includes a training area in the form of an enclosed space in which light levels can be controlled, at least one physical element related to a task for which an individual is to be trained, and a lighting arrangement. The lighting arrangement generates a background luminance level in the training area sufficient to cause the vision system of the individual to function in the mesopic or low photopic range of vision, and the physical elements are themselves illuminated by an illumination means. The luminance level of the physical elements is greater than the background luminance level.

An inflatable plyometric box having a first inflatable member adapted to be inflated to a pressure, a second inflatable member on top of the first inflatable member and adapted to be inflated to a pressure, and a connecting member connected to the first inflatable member and the second inflatable member which secures the first inflatable member to the second inflatable member. The first and second inflatable members incorporate drop stitch technology which provides substantial rigidity to first and second inflatable members when the first and second inflatable members are inflated to the pressures. Thus the inflatable plyometric box is substantially rigid to support a user landing on the top of the inflatable plyometric box. The inflatable plyometric box may additionally include a stabilizing member which may be connected to the bottom of the inflatable plyometric box, wherein the stabilizing member is adapted to increase the stability of the inflatable plyometric box.

A flip toy assembly provides a launcher having and a projectile that is launched and can be caught by the launcher. The launcher has an elongate handle. The handle has a top end and a bottom end, distal from the top end. A head is fixedly attached to the bottom end. A projectile has an apex having a first side and a second side. A first leg extends away from the first side of the apex and a second leg extends away from the second side of the apex. A method of playing a game with the flip toy assembly is also provided.
