The present invention relates to a portable strength training device which can be adapted to various sports and can be utilized in almost any location. More, specifically present invention is a weighted elongated tubular member which includes connectors for attachment of various balls and/or sporting equipment. The training device is adjustable through the use of various sized hollow tubes of different lengths and/or diameters which allow for the addition of one or more types of weight material within the hollow lumen. Various different sports objects, such as balls, golf club handles, tennis racket handles, baseball bats and the like can be secured to one of the distal ends of the hollow tubes. Clips hooks or the like may be secured to the opposite distal end of the tube for anchoring the device. |

An athletic training apparatus to assist a coach training muscle coordination of a player. An adjustable, delayed resistance, burst release, extension coil operatively couples to a first cable harness and a second cable harness. The first cable harness detachably couples to a coach and feedbacks real-time physical movements of the coach to the player. The second cable harness detachably couples to a training muscle group of the player. The training muscle group receives feedback from the real-time physical movements of the coach including a first resistance level during one portion of the exercise routine and a second resistance level during a second portion of an exercise routine. During an exercise routine, movements of the player are substantially unaffected and unstrained by the athletic training apparatus. |

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for exercising a body part from any angle with variable resistance while taking up minimal floor space. The apparatus improves the ability of athletes, including football players and wrestlers, to better prepare for contact from any angle while engaged in their sport. The apparatus includes a ring having a guide track therein. A first end of a resistive band may be received by and wrapped around the guide track while encompassing a source of resistance at another end. The source of resistance may be other gym equipment including a pulley. Alternatively, the guide track may be on an inner surface of a stationary outer ring configured to receive a bearing disposed on an outer surface of a rotatable inner ring. The inner ring may include an inflatable bladder disposed along its inside to provide a perfect fit. |

A cost effective training belt that offers the ability to vary the release resistance and that allows the release resistance to remain relatively constant throughout the life of the belt. In one disclosed embodiment, the reaction belt has a first and second belt detachably secured together with a detaching structure that can connect the first and second belts together in at least two different ways. Each of the connecting ways offers a different release resistance; thereby a user can select the desired release resistance by selecting which way to connect the two belts together. |

The present invention is a device, system and method for exercising. The elastic device possesses resilient qualities, such that resistance occurs when pressure is applied by feet, knees, arms or other limbs/body-parts. The elastic device, and/or a computerized communication device to which the exercising device is connected, may be structured to provide feedback when a certain amount of pressure is applied, thus marking the end point of a manipulation of the exercising device, the end point of a sub step(s) of a manipulation and/or the end point of a set of manipulations. |

Tugball is a field sport that combines the best elements of tug-of-war, rugby and American football without their disadvantages. Tugball requires simple equipment to play, namely a tugball which is a ball constrained within a harness containing tug-ropes. Each player also wears a flag belt having pull away type flags like those used in flag football. In tugball, kicking, running and throwing are allowed to advance the ball towards an opponents' goal. The game is started with a tug-off, i.e. a tug-of-war type contest with the winning team receiving possession of the ball. Forward motion of the ball carrier is stopped by pulling flags which avoids the inherently dangerous activity of tackling. The field size needed to play the game is substantially smaller than that required by rugby or American football. Therefore, the game of tugball well suited for play in crowded urban areas. |

A hand grip strengthening and competition apparatus includes first and second alarms and a power source carried by an elongate body. A first lever is mounted to the elongate body for pivotal movement between an open position and a closed position closing a first circuit between the power source and the first alarm energizing the first alarm. A second lever is spaced from the first lever and is mounted to the elongate body for pivotal movement between an open position and a closed position closing a second circuit between the power source and the second alarm energizing the second alarm. An elongate flexible, substantially non-stretchable connector has a first end attached to the first lever, a second end attached to the second lever, and length extending from the first end to the second end preventing the first and second levers from concurrently assuming their respective closed positions. |

An apparatus and means for a game of physical skill for two or more players composed of a central hub (110) capable of supporting the weight of the players; and, tethers (140). Each tether clips to the hub on one end, secures around the waist of a player and is capable of supporting the weight of that player. The game is played by at least two players who start from a standing, upright position. Each player begins by securing one end of a tether around his or her waist and clipping the other end on to the hub. Then the players simultaneously begin leaning away from the center of the hub to an off-balance slanted position supported by their tether and the counterbalancing weight of the other players. Then, all players simultaneously, thrusting their bodies forward to regain a vertical balanced position without touching, holding anyone or anything else, or being held. The game is won when the players regain their freestanding vertical position and are balanced and under their own center of gravity. |

A portable exercise apparatus assisting one person to do sit-up exercise is provided, which includes a footrest, a harness, a resilient retraction means connected between the footrest and harness, and an anchoring means for anchoring the footrest to a stationary support. In use, a person wears the harness connected with the resilient retraction means which connects to the footrest, and seats on the floor with his feet against the footrest. With the assistance of the apparatus, the exerciser alternates between backward prone and sitting upright positions to do sit-up exercise. Another portable exercise apparatus assisting two persons to do sit-up exercise is also provided, which includes a footrest and a hand-pulling device. In use, each person is seated on opposite sides of the footrest, with their feet against the footrest. Each person grips one handle of the hand-pulling device and alternates between sitting upright and backward prone positions. |
