Abstract:
A physiological memory training system for hockey players, said system includinga support structure, said support structure having a top with a flat, uni-planar upper surface, a slot in the top extending through the upper surface, puck means, puck supporting means for enabling the puck means to travel along the slot from a beginning, at rest position to an extended, end of movement position, along a straight line path, spring means having one end portion thereof connected to the support structure and the other end portion connected to the puck means, said spring means exerting a return force on the puck means which increases as the puck means moves away from the beginning, at rest position under the impetus of a strike by a user, the spring means being a flexible, elongated strip have the characteristic of rubber, spaced indicia on the top surface at several locations alongside the slot, said indicia being regularly spaced along the slot means, the return force of the spring means being successively increasable by securing one end portion of the spring means at any one of a plurality of locations which are progressively a greater lineal distance from the location at which the minimum return force is exerted on the puck means, said indicia providing a visual indication to the user of the force exerted on the puck means following a strike so that the mind and body of the user can be physiologically conditioned to the resistance of the puck means upon application of a striking force against the puck means.
