Benefits of technology

[0019]The purpose of the Abstract is to enable the public, and especially the scientists, engineers, and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection, the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The Abstract is neither intended to define the inventive concept(s) of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the inventive concept(s) in any way.

Problems solved by technology

However running downhill has been shown to not be the optimal way to increase speed.
When running downhill, the runner is assisted by gravity, which tends to continue to accelerate the runner to his / her terminal speed, a condition in which relaxation is not possible.
Running downhill or with the assistance of a bungee cord, for example, removes this normal load and is counterproductive to acceleration training

Abstract

Disclosed is a sprinter training aid which pulls the sprinter forward in an over speed condition, for the purpose of exercise the muscles which pull the leg forward when running, such the hip flexor muscles. Two devices can be used, one pulling the sprinter forward and one pulling the sprinter backward at the start of a run. The backward pulling at the start of the run exercises the sprinter's muscles which are used when going from a stationary position, to a full speed sprint. The device which pulls the sprinter forward would take over when the rearward pulling device shut off, and pull the sprinter to an over speed condition. Include in the device is a cable and cable winder, and a motor, computer, and a wireless connection to a data compilation computer.

Description

PRIORITY / CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 311,593, filed Mar. 8, 2010, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61316145, filed Mar. 22, 2010, disclosures of which are incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The presently disclosed and claimed inventive concept relates to a device to be used for increasing the speed of a sprinter, and more particularly to a sprinter training aid which pulls the sprinter forward in order to strengthen his running muscles by use of over speed.BACKGROUND[0003]Running requires the muscles of the leg to lift the leg up and then pull the leg down. The speed and rate of the leg going up must match the speed of the leg going down. Following the premise that a chain is as strong as its weakest link, the runner's rate of turnover (strides per second) is limited by whichever muscle group is the weakest or slowest (the muscle group that lifts the leg or the muscle group th...
