The gymnastic equipment described herein is characterized by a rectangular platform which is preferably about 30-50 cm wide and about 75-150 cm long. Vertical supporting members are arranged at the four comers of the platform. A resilient elongated rope-like member is looped around the four supporting members and is height-adjustable. The height of the rope can be set so as to enable a combination of muscle exercises with simultaneous aerobic and/or choreographic workouts free of interruption. Particular skills for fixing the resilient rope on arms or legs are not necessary during the sequence of exercises. A securing device is attached to each supporting member to retain the member at the set height. |

A firm, flexible game mat has tapered edges, art work, and transparent portions defining sections of sufficient size and spaced to enable a player to place a foot on and hop from one to the jothers. The trasparent portions also provide areas through which images and lights are visible. The apparatus includes an electronic control unit, including a variety of function buttons, a score display screen, and a speaker device, which along with multiple lights and sensors and other electronic componentes located throughout the game mat provide a variety of functions allowing a player to interact on the game mat whereby movements are detected by sensors and activate changes in the electronic control unit, components, and devices for computing players'progress, displaying scores, activating various lights and images, and producing multiple sound and music for entertaining players and to direct the playing of a game. When the actuator button is pressed lights and music are generated. A scotch included with the game is tossed upon the mat lighting a player identification indicator. A player hops from the first block to the last block, turns, and hops back picking up the scotch on the return journey. This process is repeated by each player. Each player's score is displayed on a score display screen. Pressing the reset button clear prior game information in the electronic control. The electronic control unit deactivates after a predetermined period of time if no activity on a game apparatus is sensed or detected. |

A sport jump apparatus is disclosed that provides variably paced aerobic and anaerobic exercise. The apparatus has a drive unit with a rotating shaft mounted on a support base. The shaft is positioned at an oblique angle with respect to the floor. A resilient rod is connected to the rotating shaft at an oblique angle to the shaft whereby the rod rotates in a conical configuration. As part of the conical configuration, the rod rotates through a substantially horizontal position at which point an individual jumps over the moving rod. Variable speed control adjusts the pacing of the rotation of the rod. |

To provide an active learning game, game pieces are provided of sufficient size so that a child may hop from one to the other safely, with the surfaces having sufficient coefficients of friction so that the force of the child jumping onto them does not cause the child to slip nor cause the game pieces to slide and with top surfaces being marked with numbers, shapes, letters or words that are to be recognized by the child. Cards are provided having indicia on them such as numbers, images, letters, words or the like so that the child may draw a card having on it a number, letter, word or image such as that of a particular animal and be required to hop to the location having that number, image, letter or word on it. |

A plurality of flexible and deformable polymeric mat members are utilized and displaced in a plurality of configurations to define a game path. The mat members are consecutively numbered, and wherein the apparatus further includes a plurality of markers, with a variously configured marker for each player utilizing the apparatus. Individuals are directed to throw a marker on each mat in consecutive order, wherein the player is to proceed up and down the path of the numbered markers and pick up the marker on the player's return. The player is to jump over the mat occupied by the marker. A modification of the invention includes the marker with a magnet positioned therewithin, and each mat formed with plural parallel rows of magnets, wherein each adjacent magnet is of a reversed polarity to further require enhanced skill in positioning a marker onto a mat when thrown. |

A toy which, during play, is rotated in a horizontal circular path about a player's ankle and automatically counts the number of successive rotations of the toy. The toy includes a collar, a drum interconnected to the collar, and a counter mechanism. The collar comfortably fits around an ankle region of a player. The drum is connected to the collar at a predetermined distance therefrom and engages a ground surface during play. During play, the drum is connected along a generally straight line to the collar in a manner imparting centrifugal rotation thereto while simultaneously permitting the drum to revolve about the straight line between the collar and drum. The counting mechanism automatically counts and provides a visual indication as to the number of successive rotations of the toy about the ankle of the player as a function of a predetermined number of drum revolutions. |

There is disclosed a power unit for twirling a jump rope about a substantially horizontal axis, as in conventional rope jumping, or about a vertical axis to provide an entirely new variation of the game. The power unit includes a stand with a vertical standard which supports a motorized drive with an output shaft on which is mounted a crank element. One end of a jump rope is attached to the crank element, which twirls the jump rope. The opposite end of the jump rope is secured to a stationary support, e.g., fence post, side of a building, etc. The power unit can also be removed from the vertical standard and seated in a recess in the base of the stand with the drive shaft vertically oriented, whereby the crank element is rotationally driven about a vertical axis. A short rope is secured to the crank element and a weighted element such as a foam plastic ball is secured to its free end. The players jump the rope as it swung around in a horizontal arc of rotation, thereby providing a new variation of the game. |

An amusement device is provided in one embodiment with two annular elements that are integrally connected in coplanar relationship to each other. Each of the annular elements has a diameter within the range of 8 inches to 24 inches for enabling one foot of the user to be readily inserted and thereafter rotated to horizontally swing the device in a horizontal arc, causing the user to intermittently hop on the remaining foot to clear the opposite element during each rotation of the device. Both of the elements are preferably integrally coupled to smooth, rounded, depending bosses which retain the elements in spaced disposition from the ground so that the user can readily insert his or her foot underneath the device to initiate swinging movement thereof. In another form of the invention, a third annular element is coplanar with and interconnects the first and second elements, for increasing the variety of bodily motions and exercise patterns that may be employed. |
