Claim 7:
8. An arm training pad for preventing injury to a trainer, in particular a boxing trainer, when presenting the arm training pad for striking, comprising:
a target pad having a substantially curved target surface and a resiliently deformable region located behind the target surface, and
a securing member configured to secure the target pad to a first arm segment adjacent to a second arm segment,
wherein the first arm segment is proximal to the second arm segment,
wherein the resiliently deformable region is arranged to substantially absorb the energy of a strike received at the target surface, and
wherein the target surface is configured to indicate to a user a strike may be made thereon,
wherein the thickness of the target pad is in the range of 30 mm to 300 mm,
wherein the target pad is configured to be secured to the first arm segment only,
wherein the resiliently deformable region comprises a resiliently deformable material selected from one of a rubberised material, an open-cell foam or a closed-cell foam, and
wherein the arm training pad further comprises a shock absorber having a first frame member, a second frame member and a damper element connected to the first and second frame members, wherein the first frame member is configured to be secured relative to the first arm segment, wherein the second frame member is secured to the target pad, wherein the second frame member is configured to move relative to the first frame member upon the target pad being struck by a load, and wherein the damper element is configured to resist relative motion between the first and second frame members so as to reduce the load transferred to the first arm segment.
