Benefits of technology

The patent describes an agility training apparatus that includes a multi-configurable core element and ladder elements. The core element has multiple sides that can be attached to different ladder elements, and each ladder element has multiple sides with cross members attached. The apparatus can be used for training in various sports and activities. The technical effects of the invention include the ability to easily adjust the training apparatus to different needs and the use of flexible materials for the core element and ladder elements.

Problems solved by technology

Agility ladders currently known in the art are portable and available in a variety of lengths, but variable directional elements and variable spacing of the directional elements are currently not available, thus limiting the diversity of exercises that can be performed.
A single directional agility ladder is limited in its usefulness due to lack of adjustability and configurability.
A single directional adjustable agility ladder is limited in its usefulness with limited configurability, and it is still limited to its linear direction because of its singularity.
