Benefits of technology

The invention is a training device that allows a user to have a realistic training experience. It consists of two handle sections that are connected by a resilient tensioning member. The handle sections can only move along their own axis. There is also a blocking member attached to the first handle section and a sliding member that can move along the first handle section until it reaches the blocking member. The sliding member is then blocked from further movement. This training device provides a better simulation of the real situation in terms of grip, force, and feedback.

Problems solved by technology

Prior art training systems and methods, however, fail to provide a simple, portable way to strengthen the scapula muscle group.

Abstract

A training device comprising first and second handle sections each comprising a tubular member, the first and second handle sections connected along their longitudinal axis by a resilient tensioning member, a tubular connecting section positioned between the two handle sections and configured to cover the resilient tensioning member and maintain a rigid connection between the first and second handle sections so that the first and second handle sections may move only along their longitudinal axis, a blocking member attached to the first handle section, and a sliding member positioned on the first handle section such that it can slide axially along the first handle section with little resistance until it reaches the blocking member, wherein the sliding member is constrained from any further axially movement when it contacts the blocking member.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 380,410 filed on Aug. 27, 2016 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety as if set forth herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The invention relates generally to the field of sports training methods and systems. In particular, the invention relates to methods and systems for training athletes to improve their performance.Description of Related Art[0003]The muscles of the upper back and shoulders, referred to herein as the scapula muscle group, are critically important to athletes in a wide variety of sports. Prior art training systems and methods, however, fail to provide a simple, portable way to strengthen the scapula muscle group. The present invention provides a simple, portable method and system for exercising and strengthening the scapula muscle group, as well as the shoulders, arms and hands.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]A training device comprising ...
