ABSTRACT:
An exercising and training method and apparatus particularly providing resistance and assistance physical training for athletes. An upper body harness is worn by the athlete and attached to one end of an inelastic rope that is extended around a rope guide pulley. The rope guide pulley is attached to a stationary object on a playing or exercise field. The other end of the rope is attached to one end of an elastic resistance and assistance member, including a latex hose, through a safety stop and connector. The other end of the elastic resistance and assistance member is attached through a further connector to a ground stake driven into the field at a preset angle to the stationary object. In use, the athlete stretches the latex hose between the ground stake and the rope guide pulley and the safety stop and connector prevents the passage of the latex hose around the pulley wheel. The athlete stays within an exercise area and does not cross the rope or the stretched latex hose while stretching the latex hose in resistance training or running during contraction of the hose in assistance training. If the latex hose breaks, the backlash is outside the exercise area, and the unrestrained recoil of the rope stops when the safety stop catches in the pulley.
