ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for use by athletes for developing both manipulative skills and muscular strength and endurance with respect to one or more particular sports involving forceful projection of a game object, such as a ball or puck, either directly by the player, e.g., by kicking, or through another game implement, e.g., a hockey or field hockey stick. The apparatus includes a stationary base structure including a hollow, tubular, sleeve. A first, hollow, slide member is mounted for reciprocal, linear movement through the fixed sleeve of the base structure, and a second slide member is mounted with one end inside and the other outside the first slide member for reciprocal, coaxial, linear movement with respect to and together with the first slide member. The game object is affixed by appropriate means to the outer end of the second slide member, and stop means are provided to limit movement in both directions of both slide members. A propelling force is imparted to the game object by the trainee, e.g., by kicking or striking, along the direction of linear movement of the slide members. When both members reach the forward limits of their sliding movement, a return force is provided by an elastic member connected between the first slide member and the fixed base structure. The sequence may be repeated at a rapid pace, thereby developing both the manipulative skills and the particular muscles used in imparting the propelling force to the game object.
