Problems solved by technology

This is also a cause of throwing injuries, as people often use only their arms to throw, as opposed to their entire body.
Amateurs struggle mightily with this.
To date, no individual sport swing training apparatus has adequately addressed the key issues of power discussed above.
None have been devised to correctly harness power, reinforce the proper sequence in applying it, and adapt to multiple sports.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]A training apparatus according to the present invention is generally indicated by reference numeral 10 in the accompanying illustrations. The training apparatus 10 has a harness 12 comprising a waist strap 14 and a thigh strap 16. Each of the waist strap 14 and thigh strap 16 are provided with interengaging securement means 18 and 20 respectively such as the hook and loop fastener illustrated or suitable alternatives such as a buckle arrangement, a cinchable strap, dome fasteners, etc., for securing the waist strap 14 and 16 firmly about the waist and thigh of a user 30.

[0033]Although straps are illustrated and described, it will be appreciated that the harness may take other forms, such as, for example, a pant or girdle type of arrangement. The harness is intended to enable mounting of a pull 40 to a region 50 corresponding to iliac crest of the user 30 to enable guiding of the hip by pulling on the pull 40. Accordingly, any mounting / securing arrangement conducive to such a p...

Abstract

A training apparatus having a harness mountable about a user's waist and thigh and a pull securable to the harness at a region corresponding to the iliac of a crest of the user for pulling the harness to encourage or resist turning of the user's hips to respectively teach or strengthen weight transfer from a back foot to a front foot of the user. A method is provided for training a person in an activity requiring transfer of weight and momentum from a lower area to an upper area of a person.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 497,693, filed Jun. 16, 2011 which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to sports training equipment and more particularly to sports training equipment for teaching correct hip rotation for transferring force and momentum from one's lower body to one's upper body.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Success in many sports requires the precise use of a powerful motion to propel a ball or object, either by throwing it, kicking it or by using an implement (e.g. racquet, club or bat) to strike it. Though the sports can be quite diverse (e.g., golf, tennis, hockey, football and baseball), there are significant similarities in the biomechanics and kinesiology of how power is generated and applied within the throwing, kicking and hitting skills characteristic of these sports.[0004]There are several k...
