An exercise apparatus and method for training athletes or rehabilitating disabled or injured individuals. The device is used to assist users with training muscle fibers that are difficult to train. This device will allow a coach to assist the user with the development of muscles. A user portion (14) of the belt (60) is used to harness a user during an exercise. A controller portion (12) may be connected to the user portion (14) for applying and controlling resistance during the exercise. The training apparatus is used to apply the overload (i.e., additional resistance) at single points or in short phases in order to maintain specificity of the learned action; not to train similar but alternate patterns of action that would not be used by the neuromuscular system when executing the original action. In addition, the apparatus allows the controller the option of assisting the user with the training by choosing whether to pull a releasing handle. |

In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to an athleticism rating method for normalizing and more accurately comparing overall athletic performance of at least two athletes. Each athlete completes at least two different athletic performance tests. Each test is designed to measure a different athletic skill that is needed to compete effectively in a defined sport. The results from each test for a given athlete are normalized by comparing the test results to a database providing the distribution of test results among a similar class of athletes and then assigning each test result a point number based on that test result's percentile among the distribution of test results. Combining the point numbers derived from the at least two different athletic performance tests for an athlete produces an athleticism rating score representing the overall athleticism of each athlete. |

A variable gravity field simulator can be utilized to provide three dimensional simulations for simulated gravity fields selectively ranging from Moon, Mars, and micro-gravity environments and/or other selectable gravity fields. The gravity field simulator utilizes a horizontally moveable carriage with a cable extending from a hoist. The cable can be attached to a load which experiences the effects of the simulated gravity environment. The load can be a human being or robot that makes movements that induce swinging of the cable whereby a horizontal control system reduces swinging energy. A vertical control system uses a non-linear feedback filter to remove noise from a load sensor that is in the same frequency range as signals from the load sensor. |

Disclosed as an apparatus for measuring at least one performance metric of an athlete. The apparatus comprises an elongated tether with a first end and a second end. An attachment means is attached to the first end of the elongated tether wherein the attachment means can be attached to the athlete. A vertical jump by the athlete causes a displacement of the elongated tether proportional to a distance, or height, of the vertical jump. A retractor is attached to the second end of the elongated tether to withdraw the elongated tether after a jump. An encoder determines a magnitude of the displacement of the elongated tether and generates a signal proportional to the magnitude. A conversion device receives the signal from the encoder and converts the signal to the performance metric. An output device reports the performance metric. |

An athletic performance evaluation device utilizes ultrasonic sensing circuitry or infrared sensing circuitry, a vibration sensitive switch, and an audio input to signal a microprocessor to start a timing function that calculates therefrom an objective evaluation of the athlete's performance. A light emitting diode (LED) may be included in the apparatus to signal the athlete to begin performance while simultaneously starting the timing function. The vibration sensitive switch may be placed on the ground adjacent to a selected position on which the athlete stands to stop the timing function. In operation, the athlete jumps and the ultrasonic sensor signals the microprocessor to begin the timing function and the vibration sensor sends a second signal to stop the timing function when the athlete lands again. The interval between signals is used in distance formula h=g(I/2).sup.2 /2 to determine the height attained and a display is provided for a human sensible output to show the athlete or evaluation personnel the height of the jump. The measurement is based solely on time; thus, each jumper is equally evaluated. In a response-time measurement mode, an audible input to a microphone signals the microprocessor to being the measurement and is simultaneously heard by the athlete. Ultrasonic sensing circuitry adjacent to a selected finishing position signals the microprocessor when the athletes passes through an ultrasonic beam. Alternatively, the LED may signal the athlete to begin performance which simultaneously starts the timing function. In the audible input mode, the microprocessor compensates for the delay in time required for the audible signal to reach the athlete. Various types of sensors are anticipated in the device to start and stop the timing function. |

A plyometric jump training device used to improve health and human fitness includes an elevated perimeter surrounding a central hollow cavity. This device requires the user to control his/her body trajectory to jump on or over the top surface, then down to land inside a smaller central cavity, forcing the athlete to land in a confined space. The device also incorporates lateral jumping into and out of the central hollow cavity, along with other exercise drills to further enhance the workout. |

A method to measure height of a vertical jump of a jumper. At least one switch is deactivated by the jumper stepping thereon. The switch is initially activated by the jumper jumping upward therefrom and thereafter deactivated upon return. A time period is measured while the switch is activated. The square of the activated time period is calculated and thereafter the result is multiplied by a constant to derive vertical jump height. Finally, the resultant vertical jump height of the jump is displayed. |
