Example

[0023]According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a cover assembly 2 which forms a pressurized chamber for swimming training as shown in FIG. 1. The swimming pool cover assembly 2 includes an inflatable frame 4 formed from an interconnected three-dimensional (3D) lattice of inflatable tubes. The cover assembly 2 further includes a cover 6 supported by the frame 4 to cover a swimming pool (not shown). The cover 6 partitions off the pool from its surrounds so that the chamber can be pressurized to simulate altitude training. Advantageously, the cover assembly 2 can be conveniently set up at a local pool to enable athletes to altitude train without needing to go to the trouble and expense of traveling to the mountains.

[0024]The entire frame 4 can be inflated at a single inflation point as the inflatable tubes are in fluid communication with each other. As can best be seen in FIG. 1c, the frame 4 includes three wall frame portions 8a, 8b, 8c with each wall fra...

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention generally relates to physical exercise training. The present invention has particular, although not exclusive application to swimming.BACKGROUND[0002]The reference to any prior art in this specification is not, and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that the prior art forms part of the common general knowledge.[0003]Elite sports is a serious business with athletes seeking every opportunity to gain a competitive edge over their rivals. Altitude training can be undertaken prior to major competitions whereby some endurance athletes train for several weeks in the mountains at high altitude. However, amateur athletes are often unable to afford the time and money involved with such altitude training.[0004]It is an object of the present invention to provide a time and / or cost effective alternative for altitude conditioning.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0005]According to one aspect of the present invention, there is prov...
