A baseball training device comprises a contact segment in the shape of a flexible loop coupled to a first side of an object and a securing mechanism coupled to a second side of the object for securing the baseball training device to a wrist of a user.

The punching bag having two sections is a physical training apparatus. The punching bag having two sections is adapted for use in training participants in combat sports. The punching bag having two sections presents a plurality of targets that are struck during training activities. The punching bag having two sections incorporates a plurality of punching bags, an internal fastener, and a harness. The internal fastener interconnect the plurality of punching bags. The harness limits the motion of a first punching bag selected from the plurality of punching bags relative to a second punching bag selected from the plurality of punching bags. Each of the plurality of punching bags forms a target selected from the plurality of targets.

An athlete training device has one end adapted to be in contact with the athlete's body. The other end of the device is adapted to be secured to an athletic device, such as a ball or a golf club head. The level of difficulty readily may be adjusted from a relatively easy configuration to progressively more difficult configurations.

Disclosed is ball exercise equipment including: a neck strap (4); an adjustment string (3); and an adjusting unit (2), wherein a ball (8) is connected at one end of the adjustment string (3).

The invention relates to a method of motion analysis for an assembly comprising at least one juggling device, the at least one juggling device 1 comprising a motion analysis module, intended to acquire at least inertial data, the method comprising the following steps: a step A of acquiring data, called acquired inertial data, relating to the movements of the at least one juggling device, a step B of detecting a bounce, called juggle, of the juggling device on the body of a user on the basis of the acquired inertial data, a step C of counting the number of successive juggles of the juggling device. The invention further relates to a computer program enabling the implementation of such a method and an information storage means comprising instructions for the implementation of such a method.

A ball retrieving apparatus used by a player for independently practicing the skills of throwing and catching an American style football. The football contains a modified rubber bladder of reduced size, enabling the ball to achieve a proper and consistent bounce due to the ball's flexible ends. The apparatus comprises a regulation style football pivotally and detachably communing with an elastic shock cord including swivels. The cord is anchored to a band worn on the player's wrist. When the ball is thrown in a forward direction, the cord stretches forward. When the cord reaches its maximum forward displacement, the ball snaps back, bouncing one time as it flies back toward the player. Because of the modified bladder, the ball returns in the air so that after one hop it may be caught by the thrower. The consistent bounce allows the player to independently throw and catch the ball numerous times in rapid succession.

A dribbling practice assembly for practicing dribbling a basketball includes a pair of hoops that are coupled together to form a spherical surround for insertably receiving a basketball. An elastomeric band is coupled to and extends upwardly from the hoops. A strap is coupled to the elastomeric band. The strap is removably wrapped around a user's wrist or hand for suspending the hoops from the user's wrist or hand thereby suspending the basketball from the user's wrist or hand. The elastomeric band stretches when the user bounces the basketball downwardly. Moreover, the elastomeric band urges the hoops toward the strap thereby lifting the basketball up toward the user's wrist or hand to train the user in dribbling the basketball.

A training apparatus for teaching and practicing skills for sports. The apparatus includes at least one removable electronic device having at least one proximity sensor, a playing surface having a cavity which receives the at least one removable electronic device, and a gamepiece, such as a ball. Each proximity sensor is adapted to sense the gamepiece and activates a visual or audio indicator on the at least one removable electronic device if the gamepiece is within a range of the at least one proximity sensor.

The invention relates to a method of motion analysis for an assembly comprising at least one juggling device, the at least one juggling device 1 comprising a motion analysis module, intended to acquire at least inertial data, the method comprising the following steps: a step A of acquiring data, called acquired inertial data, relating to the movements of the at least one juggling device, a step B of detecting a bounce, called juggle, of the juggling device on the body of a user on the basis of the acquired inertial data, a step C of counting the number of successive juggles of the juggling device.

The invention further relates to a computer program enabling the implementation of such a method and an information storage means comprising instructions for the implementation of such a method.

Training equipment for ball training having a ball attached to an elastic line which returns the ball to an origin, the elastic line being attached to a rod. The rod is attached to a harness arranged to be attached to the back of an athlete and is extendable, such as telescopically extendable. The rod is attached to the harness via a curved intermediate piece which may have a joint with adjustable angle.
