Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a universal weighted exercise and resistance training garment and apparatus, and a system thereof, worn by humans and non-humans, and more particularly, to a single garment (with configurations of short sleeves or long sleeves, and short pants or long pants) and a variety of garments with weighted material contained therein worn by athletes for the purpose of weight resistance training.
  • the variety of garments can also be dimensioned for non-human use, such as horses and dogs for athletic training and exercise.
  • objects of the present invention are to increase resistance during exercising for more rapidly building human and non-human muscles with reduced repetition; to properly distribute the weights at the various Human Body Locations and/or Animal Body Locations of the wearer; to have removable weights for adjusting the total load and weight distribution at the various Human Body Locations and/or Animal Body Locations; to have pouches that are easily opened for removing the weights; to have pouches that securely retain the weights at the various Human Body Locations and/or Animal Body Locations even during rigorous exercise; to have weights that are highly flexible for comfort of the human or non-human wearer; to fit snugly enough to prevent shifting during rigorous exercise; to be made of a material that wicks perspiration away from the human or non-human wearer; to be durable.
  • a weighted exercise vest in which a plurality of weights are removably but snugly received in elastic pockets.
  • this vest does not contain sleeves to contain weights to exercise the upper arm muscles nor does it have integral leg portions with pouches for exercising the upper leg muscles.
  • a weighted vest disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,989,267 to Watson is comprised of single-layer front and back panels, and weights adhered to recesses in the panels.
  • the sides of the panels are connected by straps, which are uncomfortable because they do not stretch when the user's torso is bent and flexed.
  • the panels are made of a closed cell copolymer material, which although disclosed as flexible, are thick enough to limit freedom of movement.
  • the weights are made of a heavy metal, and coated with a plastic or rubber material.
  • Each weight is made of a single piece of rigid metal that does not bend with the body, so that they are uncomfortable when the body is bent and flexed.
  • the rigid weights may also cause pain when the wearer slams into another person, such as when playing a contact sport. Because they are merely adhered to the panel, the weights may be knocked off when making contact with another person.
  • Another weighted vest disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,002,270 to Shine is comprised of front and back panels laced together on the sides. Bags of lead shots are inserted in pockets on the panels, and may be selectively removed for adjusting the load. Although the width of the vest is adjustable by loosening or tightening the lacing, adjusting long lacing is difficult and time consuming. Once adjusted, the lacing does not stretch when the user's torso is bent and flexed. If the lead shots are packed loosely in the bags, they will slosh around and cause discomfort and noise. If the lead shots are packets tightly in the bags, they will become very rigid and uncomfortable.
  • Another weighted vest disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,658,442 to Tomlinson et al. is comprised of front and back panels joined by elastic sides that provide more comfort when the user's torso is bent and flexed.
  • the width of the vest is adjustable by adjusting hook-and-loop straps on the front.
  • Weights received in front and back pockets are comprised of solid lead plates surrounded by a padded coating. Although the weights are bendable by hand to conform to the body, they are not at all resilient, and are still rigid enough to cause discomfort when the user's torso is bent and flexed. The weights may also slide out of the open pockets during rigorous exercise.
  • Another weighted vest disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,602,387 to Zakrzewski is comprised of front and back panels with pockets holding rigid metal bars. Straps stretched across the pocket openings hold the bars in place. However, the long rigid bars severely limit the wearer's freedom of movement, and may cause discomfort when the user's torso is bent and flexed.
