Abstract
A multi-purpose athletic training platform exercise device is provided. A user may stand atop a platform and exercise while connected to a downward pulling source of resistance. This machine allows the user to walk forwards, backwards and side-to-side freely while still having attachment to the resistance source via a connecting means. This will activated all the muscles in the lower body while tractioning the lower back and helping to reduce pelvic tilt. The resistance maybe varied during the user effort. The user is able to step off the machine to climb up or down a step, or walk up and down a ramp that may be provided.
Claims21
An athletic training platform exercise device (10), comprising:
- A user enclosure (100) having a platform (130), wherein the platform (130) has a platform opening (160) allowing passage of a connecting means (230) connected to a resistance unit (200);
- and
- wherein the resistance unit (200) provides variable resistance to the connecting means (230).
An athletic training platform exercise device (10), comprising:
- A user enclosure (100) having a platform (130) supported by standards (140) supporting at least two side rails (110), wherein the platform (130) has a platform opening (160) allowing passage of a cable (230) carried on at least one pulley (240) connected to a resistance unit (200) further comprising at least one weight holder (220) movably positioned on a weight tower (210) allowing vertical motion of the weight holder (220), wherein the cable (230) is further connected to a user interface (260) by means of a multi-axial connector allowing motion between the cable (230) and the user interface (260) in multiple axes;
- and
- wherein the resistance unit (200) provides variable resistance to movement of the cable (230).
An athletic training platform exercise device (10), comprising:
- A user enclosure (100) having a platform (130) wherein the platform (130) has a platform opening (160) allowing passage of a connecting means (230) connected to a resistance unit (200) capable of producing a variable resistance during a displacement of the connecting means (230) selected from the types of resistance consisting of electrical, hydraulic and elastic resistance including a variable resistance during a displacement of the connecting means (230), wherein the cable (230) is further connected to the user interface (260) by means of a multi-axial connector allowing motion between the cable (230) and the user interface (260) in multiple axes.
