Abstract
A physical interaction means comprising a wall including an outwardly presented surface of one of a hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system. Also provided is at least one glove with an outer surface including the other one of the hook component and loop component of the hook and loop fastening system to be selectively and releasably attachable by a person who may wear the glove to the surface of the wall to thereby immobilise the hand and allow the person to apply an action force which is countered by the wall in a reactionary manner.
Claims32
A physical interaction means comprising
- a means defining a wall including an outwardly presented surface of one of a hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system
- at least one glove with an outer surface including the other one of the hook component and loop component of the hook and loop fastening system to be selectively and releasably attachable by a person who may wear said glove to said surface of said means defining a wall.
A physical interaction means as claimed in claim provided for the purposes of allowing said person to perform physical stretching of muscles.
An exercising apparatus comprising or including
- means to modify or characterise a floor surface, and
- means to modify or characterise a wall surface,
- wherein such apparatus enables a proximate floor and wall region to be modified or characterised so as to releasably engage complementary attachment means a first of which is presented from said floor and wall surface and the other or which that an exerciser may wear.
An exercise site or venue comprising or including
- a wall surface adapted to present at least from a region thereof one of a complementary pair of hook and loop means for receiving of the other of a complementary pair of hook and loop fastening means which may be worn by a person at the outer extremity of at least one limb of a person capable of releasable and selective engagement with said at least one region of said wall surface.
An exercise site or venue wherein there is provided adjacent said wall surface, a floor surface adapted to present at least from a region thereof one of a complementary pair of hook and loop means for receiving of the other of a complementary pair of hook and loop fastening means which may be worn by a person at the outer extremity of at least one limb of a person capable of releasable and selective engagement with said at least one region of said floor surface.
As a retail package a pair of gloves each including a surface of one of a hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system to be worn by a person for the purposes of engagement to and to allow their applying of an action force via said gloves to a reaction surface which is of the other one of said hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system.
As a retail package a pair of booties each including a surface of one of a hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system to be worn by a person for the purposes of engagement to and to allow their applying of an action force via said booties to a reaction surface which is of the other one of said hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system.
A pair of gloves each including a surface of one of a hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system, when worn by a person and in engagement with the other one of said hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system provided on a fixed wall structure.
A pair of booties each including a surface of one of a hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system, when worn by a person and in engagement with the other one of said hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system provided on a fixed wall structure.
A method of physical interaction of a person with at least one reaction surface for the purposes of their physical stretching/exercising by engaging that part of the body of said person with which at least one of a glove and footwear is worn, with said reaction surface, said reaction surface having disposed thereon one of a hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system and the at least one of said glove and footwear presenting the other one of said hook component and loop component of a hook and loop fastening system such that said person can selectively engage and be resistant to release from said reaction surface in a plurality of locations and orientations, said at least one of said glove and footwear to thereby provide reaction to the forces the forces applied by said person thereto.
