Abstract:
A training apparatus having a base and an upright collision surface which is configured to pivot relative to the base about a transverse axis or configured in relation to the base to provide at least one predetermined limited degree of freedom of movement between the base and the collision surface and/or configured to rotate about an upright axis provides enables development of improved technique for collisions in contact sports such as American Football. The collision surface being is moveable and/or rotatable relative to the base mimics, in a controlled environment, a common configuration of a collision, whereby players can train on the most effective collision techniques, including enhancing power and strength direction of approach and, maintaining power at a required height against a contact surface arranged at a predetermined angle.

Claim (Index 38):
A training apparatus having a collision surface and which is movably responsive to a force transmitted by a user impacting the collision surface during use, the apparatus comprising:\n a base for supporting the apparatus on a training surface, the base comprising one or more training surface-contacting members defining a base plane and extending in a longitudinal direction substantially aligned with the training surface; and a collision support structure extending upwardly from the base for supporting a collision surface to be impacted by a user during use; and wherein the collision support structure includes a linkage providing relative movement between the collision surface and the base, and wherein the linkage provides at two predetermined limited degrees of freedom of movement between the base and the collision surface when force is transmitted by the user to the collision surface.
