Abstract:
1. A physical training system, the system comprising a resistance structure, and at least one resistance unit disposed thereon, wherein said at least one resistance unit is operatively coupled to an athlete; wherein the at least one resistance unit comprises a frame, a cable, a rewind pulley, a spring attached to said rewind pulley, a one-way bearing, a brake, a brake shaft, and a support shaft, wherein said cable attaches said resistance unit to an athlete; wherein said frame contains said rewind pulley, said spring, said one-way bearing, said brake, said brake shaft and said support shaft, wherein said cable is operatively coupled to said rewind pulley, wherein said rewind pulley is operatively coupled to said brake via said brake shaft, wherein said rewind pulley is operatively coupled to said brake shaft via said one way bearing, such that at least one resistance unit applies a greater resistive force on said cable when the cable moves away from said at least one resistance unit, and such that the at least one resistance unit applies a lesser resistive force on said cable when the cable moves toward said at least one resistance unit.
