Hip Rotation Training Apparatus and Methods and Systems of Training Hip Rotation for Sporting Performance

Abstract

A hip rotation training apparatus for sports performance training includes an elongated member having a first end and a second end. A striking face is positioned on the elongated member between the first and second ends. An attachment device is positioned at the first end, wherein the first end is attachable to a user at a hip region of the user with the attachment device, and wherein rotation of the hip region of the user moves the second end along a curvilinear path.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]The present disclosure is generally related to sporting performance training and more particularly is related to a hip rotation training apparatus and methods and systems of training hip rotation for sporting performance.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]Functional training is a classification of exercise which involves training the body for the activities performed in daily life. Functional fitness is based off of those same principles to encompass a movement that translates to better sports performance. Within the professional and recreational sports fields, many athletes are trained relative to functional fitness to have proper body movements to increase their performance in their respective sporting field. For example, many sports involve a throwing or swinging motion such as the throwing of a ball, swinging of a bat, club, or racquet, where the athletes are trained to have proper form, such that they can perform the activity correctly and without ca...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system and method for training hip rotation in sports performance. The system includes an elongated member with a striking face positioned between the first and second ends. The member is attached to the user's hip region using an attachment device. The user's rotation of the hip region causes the striking face to move in a curvilinear path, which intersects the flight path of a throwable sporting implement. The technical effect of this system is to provide a precise and effective means for training hip rotation in sports performance.

Problems solved by technology

The amount of hip motion can vary, and determining whether an adequate amount of hip motion has occurred during a given athletic movement can be difficult to assess.

Failure to maintain proper hip motion during an athletic movement can result in improper throwing or swinging motions, which can strain the athlete's arm and shoulder and potentially lead to injury.

Thus, a heretofore unaddressed need exists in the industry to address the aforementioned deficiencies and inadequacies.
