Abstract
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.
Claims15
A jumping apparatus for an individual comprising:
- a) a support base adapted for placement on a substantially horizontal floor surface,
- b) a drive unit mounted on said support base, the drive unit comprised of a motor and a shaft connecting to and rotated by said motor, the shaft positioned at an oblique angle with respect to the floor surface;
- c) an elongate rod for the individual to jump over, the rod connected to the shaft at an oblique angle with respect to said shaft, the rod having a lower substantially horizontal position with the rod extending outwardly beyond the base and an upwardly position with the rod substantially positioned above the base, whereby when the shaft rotates the rod moves between the substantially horizontal position and the upwardly position.
A jump apparatus for use on a floor surface, the apparatus comprising:
- a) a support base;
- b) a drive unit mounted on said support base, the drive unit comprised of a motor and a shaft extending from the drive unit at an oblique angle with respect to the floor surface, the shaft rotatable by the motor;
- c) a straight portion connected to the shaft and extending outwardly therefrom, the straight portion positioned at an oblique angle with respect to said shaft whereby when the shaft rotates the straight portion rotates between a lower substantially horizontal position for jumping over and an upwardly position.
