Form-keeping device for gymnasts and spring board divers

摘要

A form-keeping device to be worn on extremities of an athlete is disclosed. A first part has a first element for spacing the extremities apart at a predetermined distance. This first spacing element has a first front face covered with pile and a first opposite face which conforms to a body part, such as an ankle of the athlete. A second part has a second element for spacing the extremities apart at the same predetermined distance. This second spacing element has a second front face covered with hook-like projections for engaging with the pile covering the first front face on the first spacing element. The second spacing element also has a second opposite face which conforms to an opposite body part, such as the other ankle of the athlete. Because the hook-like projectins on the second front face of the second spacing element attach to the pile on the first front face of the first spacing element, the extremities, such as the feet and legs of the athlete, are kept together by the form- keeping device of the present invention.
