A safety jump training apparatus designed for safely mounting on a wall to permit an athlete to safely measure their vertical leap. The safety jump training apparatus includes a jump measurement device and a rotating support to rotably attach the measurement device to a mounting plate, as well as numerous safety features. The safety features include cooperating locking pin recesses and a locking pin to secure the apparatus in either an operating position or a storage position, a lock to adjustably secure the vertical height of the measurement device, a translation resistor to control the movement of the measurement device when the lock is disengaged, a safety position limiter to ensure that the measurement device is always a predetermined distance above the ground, and a safety cover to safely contain majority of the apparatus. |

An exercise device having position verification feedback capabilities. In one embodiment, the exercise device generally includes a base unit defining a support surface, at least two position sensors arranged along a sensing plane relative to the support surface for detecting the presence of the user along the sensing plane, and a controller in communication with the position sensors to determine the user's position relative to the sensing plane. In another embodiment, the exercise device is configured to simulate the activity of jumping rope. In a further embodiment, an exercise device is provided that is capable of measuring one or more parameters associated with a user's vertical jumping ability. |

The invention determines performance data during activity of a person. A microprocessor and a sensor, such as a GPS sensor, attach to the person or to a vehicle ridden by the person. The sensor and microprocessor may integrate in clothing or in a watch worn by the person. Wireless signals may be generated to a remote base station or to a watch. Performance data may for example include speed, drop distance, airtime and power. |

A spring board construction in one embodiment with a board member, first and second bindings, and first and second spring units coupled to the board member. The spring units can have resiliently deflectable upper and lower arcuate spring members joined in an opposing relationship. The spring units can be disposed generally parallel to one another and perpendicular to a longitudinal dimension of the board member. The first and second ends of the upper and lower arcuate spring members can be fixed together by being mutually enveloped in first and second encasements. The spring members can be crafted from a composite of plastic and fiberglass. Traction members can be fixed to mid-portions of the lower spring members. |

The invention detects the loft time and/or speed of a vehicle, such as a sporting vehicle, during activities of moving and jumping. A loft sensor detects when the vehicle leaves the ground and when the vehicle returns to the ground. A microprocessor subsystem converts the sensed information to determine a loft time. A display shows the recorded loft time to a user of the system. In addition, a speed sensor can detect the vehicle's speed for selective display to the user. The invention is particularly well-suited to sporting activities such as snowboarding where users loft into the air on ski jumps and catch nullairnull time but have no quantitative measure of the actual time lapse in the air. Therefore, users in skiing can use invention to record, store, and playback selected information relating to their sporting day, including the total amount of nullairnull time for the day and information such as dead time, i.e., time not spent on the slopes. |

A recreational air board used for nullsurf-bouncingnull on a trampoline. The board is made of at least one soft cushioning layer and a support layer. The cushioning layer provides protection against damage caused to the trampoline and other objects by impact with the board. The cushioning layer also minimizes the risk of injury to the user. The support layer provides stiffness to the board so that the board maintains its proper form. The board may be fastened to a user's feet by a pair of elastic cords. The elastic cords form loops to receive a user's feet and are attached to the board through openings in the board. The elastic cords can stretch to snugly fit different sized feet without the need for special boots and bindings. |

Comparable values for the heights of the individual jumps in a series of multiple jumps can be achieved, if defined initial conditions for first and second successive integrations of measured vertical forces are given for each individual jump. The initial condition for the first integration is taken as a zero velocity in the middle of the flight time interval for each individual jump. For every second integration, as initial condition for the jump height, a constant initial height is taken. This is a characteristic value of the test person. |

A playground base and standard assembly (10) includes a typical hollow traffic cone (28) having a top hole (20) for receiving a standard (12) into the cone (28). The cone (28) is modified by placing an insert (26) inside the cone for stabilizing the standard (12). The insert (26) is a solid polyethylene foam member shaped to fit snugly in the cone (28). The insert (26) has a hole (34) coaxial with a top hole (20) on the cone (28) for receiving and supporting any standard (12). One possible standard (12) includes telescoping members (40,42) for adjusting the height of the standard. |

A gymnastic amusement device consisting of a pole mounted on a base. The base is adapted to receive a large pole or a small pole or a combination of the two poles, the smaller pole being insertable in the larger pole. The base has a resilient mount supporting a tubular socket. The resilient mount has a vertically adjustable gimbal ring which receives the socket. The combination of the resilient mount, its adjustability, and the utilization of the poles separately or in combination provides a device suitable for a wide range of weights of persons using the device. |
