ABSTRACT:
An exercise apparatus for exercising and enhancing human agility and reaction time skills involving the mental and physical ability to act quickly and move rapidly in reacting to events and objects that invade the space immediately surrounding a person. The apparatus has one or more bases surrounding the area where the subject stands. The bases generate visible bars of light at all heights and orientations. The subject has to jump over, or duck his body to avoid intercepting the light bars. The motion of the bars is supplemented by audio which adds motion sounds as well as musical tones. The height. the rate of motion of the bars along with the orientation of their movement is settable and controllable by the user in periodic and random modes. Means are provided that enable the light bar to come to a stop against the body of the exercise subject like a physical bar. In the electronic Blocker version, an electronic Blocker with light sensors and wireless signal transmission, is used to block the light bar and restart the sweep of the light bar at a new orientation.
