Training belt for athletes - has pockets for progressively increasing weights and is worn continually but removed when actually competing

摘要

The belt is used by athletes for training purposes and comprises a broad band of fabric lined with a soft material. It is worn about the waist and has a number of pockets arranged at intervals along its length. Each pocket carries a weight and these are progressively increased from a minimum to a maximum of 1.6 kg. The belt can be removed at night and it does not hinder normal movements. It is otherwise worn continually but is removed when actually competing, the feeling of decreased weight assisting the athlete's performance.
