Abstract
Disclosed herein are training devices useful for improving the agility and/or speed of a trainee, systems comprising same, and methods of improving a trainee's agility and/or speed. In one embodiment a training device comprises a first sensor operatively associated with a control mechanism, wherein the control mechanism is optionally configured to enable the device to move (a) randomly, (b) in a predetermined movement pattern, or (c) in relation to a second sensor.
Claims19
A training device comprising:
- a housing comprising an opening, wherein said housing is operatively associated with at least one moving agency,
- a shut-off unit removably mated with the opening,
- a control mechanism operatively associated with the shut-off unit and a drive device said control mechanism enabling the drive device to cause the at least one moving agency to propel the training device when the shut-off unit is mated with the opening and
- a first sensor operatively associated with the control mechanism.

A training device comprising:
- a housing comprising an on/off switch, wherein said housing is operatively associated with at least one moving agency;
- a first sensor associated with the housing;
- a drive device operatively associated with the at least one moving agency;
- and
- a control mechanism operatively associated with the first sensor and the drive device said control mechanism configured to enable the drive device to cause the at least one moving agency to propel the training device towards or away from a second sensor when the on/off switch is set to an “on” position.
2 more elements
A training device comprising:
- a housing comprising an opening and operatively associated with at least one moving agency;
- a first sensor associated with the housing;
- a drive device operatively associated with the at least one moving agency;
- a control mechanism operatively associated with the first sensor, and the drive device, and a
- a visual enhancement removably associated with the opening and comprising a motion-control device configured to cause the device to change directions in one or more preselected movement patterns and/or propel the device at one or more predetermined speeds and such that when the visual enhancement is removably mated with the opening the control mechanism is configured to enable the drive device to cause the at least one moving agency to propel the training device in a direction away from a second sensor when a distance value between the first and second sensors is below a predetermined separation value.
