ABSTRACT:
The sporting and exercising device comprises an upper foot-receiving portion, and a lower spring portion. The spring portion comprises an upper spring layer arched upwardly, a lower spring layer arched downwardly, and an intermediate elastic plastic strap. A first end of the plastic strap is connected to both a first end of the upper spring layer and a first end of the lower spring layer, and a second end of the plastic strap is connected to both a second end of the upper spring layer and a second end of the lower spring layer. First and second resilient shock absorbing bodies are mounted on the top face of the plastic strap proximate the first and second ends thereof, respectively. Similarly, third and fourth resilient shock absorbing bodies are mounted on the bottom face of the plastic strap proximate the first and second ends thereof, respectively. The resilient shock absorbing bodies prevent the spring portion to collapse after a certain deformation by compression has been reached.
