A pole vault swing-up rack includes a frame body with upper hooks and a lower push bracket. The rack is designed to hang vertically from a horizontal bar - as a pull-up bar - by the hooks. An athlete hanging from the pull-up bar in an upright vertical position may kick his/her legs and torso up to an inverted vertical position to simulation movement of a pole vault. The athlete's shoulder rests against vertical uprights of the rack to maintain the athlete's shoulders and body in front of a vertical plane as in a pole vault. A trainer can use the lower push bracket to assist the athlete in the kicking motion. The parts of the rack that come into contact with the athlete may be covered in foam padding and a rubber coating.

The cooperative training device is used for teaching cooperation, teamwork and communication for a group of participants. The training device is an annular, flexible mat having radially extending pairs of foot straps spaced apart on the upper surface of the mat and a corresponding tether extending from the outer foot strap of each pair. Teams of participants are trained to cooperate by instructing the team to move the mat from one location to another while standing in the foot straps and grasping the tether. The mat may have true and false directional indicia marked thereon, may be divided into quadrants, and may have designated penalty areas where non-cooperating team members are directed to go and remain stationary.
