Abstract
The present invention relates to a hand-eye coordination training apparatus designed for all sports enthusiasts and martial artists seeking hand speed timing and accuracy. The apparatus offers unpredictable vertical and horizontal target movement, as well as instant adjustability to change the tension and height of the target. This allows the target to travel at varied heights, speeds and distances. The apparatus is effective in isolating the skill of hand eye coordination because it provides minimal resistance. The apparatus is completely portable and can be assembled in any environment in a matter of seconds.

A portable exercise training apparatus characterised by:
- a base adapted to be placed at an exercise location having an overhead structure, said base adapted to be secured at said exercise location by its own weight;
- a resilient cord including a first end adapted to be secured to said base, and a second end adapted to be secured to said overhead structure so that the cord extends between said base and said overhead structure at an initial tension;
- at least one strike object associated with said cord, wherein the position of said strike object along the cord is adjustable to thereby facilitate positioning of said strike object to a desired height after the cord is secured.
A method of assembling a portable exercise training apparatus at an exercise location having a ground surface and an overhead structure, said method characterised by the steps of:
- positioning a weighted base on the ground surface;
- securing a first end of a resilient cord to the base;
- securing a second end of the resilient cord to the overhead structure, thereby creating an initial tension in the cord;
- and
- positioning one or more strike objects along said cord so that they are disposed at desired striking heights.
