A training sled apparatus, comprising: a platform with a rear edge and a wedge shaped front edge, opposite the rear edge of the platform; and, at least one sleeve provided to the platform and configured for placing a training component therein

The present invention relates to muscular exercise equipment. In particular, disclosed is a muscular exercise apparatus comprising: an upper support bar, which has a certain length and on both sides of which connecting rods are disposed; a lower support bar, which has a certain length and on both sides of which connecting rods are disposed, wherein the connecting rods of the upper support bar and the connecting rods of the lower support bar are fastened to each other such that the upper support bar and the lower support bar have a certain angle therebetween; and a central support bar for supporting the bending motion of at least one of the upper support bar and the lower support bar.

Disclosed is a multifunctional muscle exerciser comprising two handles (1, 2). The two handles (1, 2) each comprise a connection end (1a, 2a) and a grip end (1b, 2b). A torsional spring (3) is connected between the connection ends (1a, 2a) of the two handles (1, 2). The torsional spring (3) is composed of stacked multichip spring steel pieces (31). The two ends of the multichip spring steel pieces (31) are respectively connected via fasteners. Preferably, both of the two handles (1, 2) are U-shaped. The connection ends (1a, 2a) of the two handles (1, 2) are coaxially arranged. The grip ends (1b, 2b) of the two handles (1, 2) are in parallel but are not on the same straight line.

Disclosed is a masticatory muscle exercise device. The masticatory muscle exercise device includes: an upper mouthpiece; a lower mouthpiece; and at least one elastic member applying elasticity to the upper mouthpiece and the lower mouthpiece. According to the masticatory muscle exercise device, a user can strengthen his/her masticatory muscles by actively exercising.

A resilient rod that provides adjustable directional resistance is disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, a resistance level may be determined based on a thickness of the rod and a position of an applied force with respect to a fulcrum point. In another aspect of the invention, at least one spine may be attached to the beam to increase a diameter of the beam along one axis. The resistance level may be determined based on the thickness of the rod, the position of the applied force and an orientation of the at least one spine with regard to the direction of the applied force. In other aspects of the invention, the resilient rods may be incorporated into a golf club that provides for adjustable resistance levels.

An exercise machine is disclosed. The exercise machine comprises a tension generating device. The exercise machine comprises a translatable arm mount coupled to the tension generating device. The exercise machine comprises an arm coupled to the translatable arm mount. The exercise machine comprises a cable coupled to the tension generating device via the arm.

An exercise and rehabilitation bar including a flexing bar, at least one resistance insert, and at least one handle, The flexing bar has a first end, a second end, and a cavity running from the first end to the second end. The at least one resistance insert is removably carried within the cavity of the flexing bar and the at least one handle is removably securable to either the first or second end of the flexing bar,

A training sled apparatus, comprising: a platform with a rear edge and a wedge shaped front edge, opposite the rear edge of the platform; and, at least one sleeve provided to the platform and configured for placing a training component therein.

A baseball swing trainer. The baseball swing trainer includes a housing having a base, a rear wall, and a top portion defining an open center area. A plurality of resistance blades extend downward from the top portion such that they are positioned within the open center area. A fastener is disposed on the rear wall for securing the swing trainer to a vertical structure such as a pole or tree. When a user swings a bat through the open center area, the resistance blades resist the motion of the bat. This enables the user to develop the muscles that are activated during the swing, which helps to increase swing speed and strength. A resistance band removably affixed to the vertical structure can be connected to the end of a bat to accelerate the bat through the natural swing plane, which enhances the neurological firing rate related to swing musculature.

An exercise apparatus to enhance muscle recruitment of a user includes a base platform, a rotatable shaft coupled to the base platform, a brake assembly coupled to the base platform and operably connected to the rotatable shaft, the brake assembly having a controller designed to engage and disengage the brake assembly from the rotatable shaft, and a pair of cables with first ends coupled to the rotatable shaft and second ends coupled to a bar. The controller engages the brake assembly with the rotatable shaft to lock the rotatable shaft in a stationary position for a predetermined time to permit the user to perform an isometric movement with the bar. The controller disengages the brake assembly from the rotatable shaft after the predetermined time to permit the rotatable shaft to rotate to permit the user to perform a plyometric movement with the bar.
