<p>This inventionis a novel exercise device, for use in either aerobic, anaerobic (i.e. strengthening), proprioception activities, or aquatic exercises, which is capable of exercises, which is capable of exercising opposing muscle groups in sequence using one apparatus. The device comprises a tensioning means (38) which is used to resist elongation, thereby exercising one set of muscles, and a compressible means (16), which is used to resist compression, thereby exercising the opposing set of muscles. Additionally, this device is constructed with an optional set of supplemental safety loops (54) or handles which can be used in operation which will minimize the potential of the apparatus to slip off a user's limb when in the elongated position, thereby recoiling with potential injury to the participant.</p> |
