Abstract
A sports training device is worn by the trainee for developing skill and minimizing risk of injury in pitching, passing, swinging, kicking, and other such sports-related body movements. An illustrative embodiment includes an anchor member adapted for wear on the torso of a trainee, and elongate member coupled between the anchor member and a forearm or thigh of the trainee, the elongate member being resiliently bendable along its length, inelastic relative to its longitudinal axis, and freely movable relative to the anchor member upon movement of the trainee's arm or leg.
Claims19
A sports training device comprising:
- an anchor member adapted for wear on including a restraint for coupling the anchor member to the torso of a trainee;
- a resiliently bendable mount coupled to the anchor member and having a distal extending distally from the anchor member;
- a first tension device coupled between the resiliently bendable mount and a trainee's first appendage;
- and
- the first tension device including an elongate first member having a proximal and distal end, the proximal end coupled directly to the distal end of the resiliently bendable mount and the distal end coupled to the trainee's first appendage and wherein upon movement of the trainee's first appendage applying tension to the first tension device, a distal end of the resiliently bendable mount and the distal end of the elongate first member move laterally movable through at least two axes relative to the anchor member, and the resiliently bendable mount is resistant to flexing and provides tension to the elongate first member.

- and
- an appendage cuff adapted to couple the distal end of the elongate first member to at least one of a trainee's forearm and trainee's thigh;
- and
- wherein the elongate first member is resiliently bendable along its length, inelastic relative to its longitudinal axis, and freely movable relative to the anchor member upon movement of the trainee's appendage, and the resiliently bendable mount is resistant to flexing and provides tension to the elongate first member.
