ADJUSTABLE SLEDGEHAMMER WORKOUT APPARATUS
An adjustable sledgehammer workout apparatus may include a handle, and a clamping assembly connected to the handle. The clamping assembly can include an upper portion and a lower portion, the lower portion connected to a first end of the handle, the clamping assembly operable to releasably clamp the dumbbell between the upper and lower portions of the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly can include a first clamping subassembly operable to apply a clamping force on the upper and lower portions of the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly can further include a second clamping subassembly engageable with the first clamping subassembly, the second clamping subassembly operable to increase the clamping force applied by the first clamping subassembly on the upper and lower portions of the clamping assembly.
Hammer/discus cage
A hammer/discus cage includes first and second base plates, first and second vertical trusses coupled to their respective first and second base plates, and first and second gates hinged to their respective first and second vertical trusses. A hoop net rail extends rearwardly from the first vertical truss to the second vertical truss and netting extends downward from the hoop net rail and attached to the first and second gates.
Takeoff point marker assembly
A device for marking a starting point on a running track. A plurality of spikes is affixed to a bottom surface of a planar member. A top surface of the planar member can receive print thereon. The plurality of spikes can be inserted into a running track. A plurality of conical covers houses the plurality of spikes when the plurality of spikes is not inserted into a running track. The planar member can be rectangular with a spike disposed in each corner on the bottom surface.
HAMMER/DISCUS CAGE
A hammer/discus cage includes first and second base plates, first and second vertical trusses coupled to their respective first and second base plates, and first and second gates hinged to their respective first and second vertical trusses. A hoop net rail extends rearwardly from the first vertical truss to the second vertical truss and netting extends downward from the hoop net rail and attached to the first and second gates.
PROTECTIVE TRACK AND FIELD BARRIER SYSTEM
A protective barrier system is provided, the protective barrier system comprising: at least one support member configured for coupling to a surface; a frame comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion being coupled to the at least one support member; a barrier material coupled to and suspended between the upper portion and the lower portion of the frame, the barrier material forming an enclosure having an interior and an exterior; and a door positioned relative to the enclosure and configured to provide access to the interior of the enclosure, wherein the barrier material is spaced from the at least one support member; and wherein the frame provides shape and structure to the barrier material.
EXERCISE DEVICE
This disclosure provides an exercise device comprising a weighted head and a handle. In some embodiments, the exercise device may be essentially as shown in FIG. 1 and/or FIG. 2.
APPARATUS AND METHODOLOGY FOR IMPROVING AN ATHLETIC SWING VIA DIRECT IMPACT TRAINING OR NON-IMPACT WEIGHTED RESISTANCE
Aspects directed towards a training apparatus are disclosed. In one example, a bat sleeve having a substantially cylindrical shape is configured to remain affixed to a desired point of impact on a baseball bat. The bat sleeve includes a first open end having a first inner diameter and a first outer diameter, and a second open end having a second inner diameter and a second outer diameter. In another example, a training apparatus includes a bat portion and a sledgehammer portion. The bat portion has a form factor substantially similar to a lower portion of a baseball bat, whereas the sledgehammer portion has a form factor substantially similar to an upper portion of a sledgehammer In yet another example, a training apparatus includes a sensor portion coupled to a striking portion. Here, the sensor portion is configured to sense an impact between the striking portion and a target.
Throw weight
A throw weight includes a handle and a bag rotatably associated with the handle. The bag is designed to hold a weight which can be interchanged with other weights. The bag and handle are particularly constructed and oriented relative to one another for the purpose of correctly stabilizing the weight and to facilitate ease of throwing. The bag may include an opening at an end of the bag opposite the handle.
