Abstract
The present invention provides a freestanding apparatus for demonstrating correct rotational movements of the body for different sports activities and for training an individual to perform such movements in the correct order and relative relationship. The apparatus comprises a vertical support having upper and lower rotational resistance assemblies which are vertically adjustable to be positioned at the user's pectoral and hip levels. The assemblies include mechanisms whereby the degree of resistance to rotational movement may be adjusted.
Claims17
A freestanding rotational motion and relative displacement training apparatus comprising a base assembly, a vertical support post extending upward from said base assembly, a first resistance assembly and a second resistance assembly each independently vertically adjustable along said support post wherein each resistance assembly comprises left and right rotation arms independently rotatable about a cylindrical collar positioned on said post said left and right rotation arm including user engagement means, each rotation arm having a clamp mechanism whereby resistance to rotation by said rotation arms is adjustable;
- whereby said apparatus is effective in demonstrating correct rotational motion and relative displacement of a user's upper and lower torso during different sports activities and in training said user's to achieve correct rotational movement and relative displacement of the upper and lower torso.
A freestanding rotational motion and relative displacement training apparatus comprising;
- a base assembly;
- a vertical support post affixed to an extending upwardly from said base assembly;
- a first resistance assembly vertically adjustable along said support post and comprising left and right independently rotatable horizontally extending rotation arms, a vertically elongated hip pad on each arm and adjustably positionable therealong, and a belt connecting outer ends of said arms across a user's pelvic area;
- and
- a second resistance assembly vertically adjustable along said support post above said first resistance assembly and comprising left and right independently rotatable horizontally extending rotation arms, an elongated pad on each arm and adjustably positionable therealong, each pad having an inward angle of from about 30.degree. to about 60.degree. from vertical to angle across a user's shoulder blades, and belt members extending from the lower end to the upper end of each pad across the user's chest;
- whereby said apparatus is effective in demonstrating correct rotational motion and relative displacement of said user's upper and lower torso during certain activities and in training said user to achieve correct rotational motion and relative displacement of the upper and lower torso.
