Benefits of technology

[0014] As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be used as a basis for designing other structures, methods, and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims are regarded as including such equivalent constructions as far as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0015] Further, the purpose of the Abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers, and practioners in the art who are not familiar with the patent or legal terms of phraseology, to learn quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essences of the technical disclosure of the application. Accordingly, the Abstract is intended to define neither the invention nor the application, which is only measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is extremely difficult to quantify or objectively measure an athlete's overall ability.
However, these observations and trials have heretofore been mostly subjective.

Abstract

An athletic training apparatus includes a generally horizontal base adapted to be disposed on a ground surface and a first sensor adapted to measure a weight of an athlete. A force receiving area adapted to be disposed in proximity of and above an end of the base is included and operably connected to a second sensor such that when the athlete exerts a force on the force receiving area, the second sensor measures the force exerted by the athlete.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an athletic apparatus generally, and more specifically to a device and method for athletic performance evaluation. [0002] Most sports are based on the development of specialized athletic abilities such as response time, coordination and strength. As such, an athletes training is designed to develop the athletes maximum potential. However, it is extremely difficult to quantify or objectively measure an athlete's overall ability. As a result of this difficulty, an athlete's performance in sports, for example football, is usually determined through a coach's observation or by competing against other athletes. However, these observations and trials have heretofore been mostly subjective. Objective measurement of athletic ability is particularly beneficial for training since this provides the athlete with a ability to identify those abilities and skills which require the most attention, and to measure the performance inc...
