Wrist, elbow, shoulder, and balance training device for angler/athletes

Abstract

A sport specific conditioning apparatus and method for anglers includes a handle configured to simulate a casting fishing rod handle connected to one or more resistance bands. The handle includes a rear grip region, a reel seat region, and a fore grip region, wherein a length of lever from said reel seat region to an end of said fore grip region ranges from 10 to 16 inches. The connector at the top of the handle permits rotation about an axis of said handle when said connector is connected to one or more resistance bands. With the resistance bands attached, the user performs one or more movements which simulate casting or flipping with said handle connected to one or more resistance bands.

1 . A sport specific conditioning apparatus for anglers, comprising:
 a handle configured to simulate a casting fishing rod handle and including a rear grip region, a reel seat region, and a fore grip region, wherein a length of lever from said reel seat region to an end of said fore grip region ranges from 10 to 16 inches; and   a connector positioned at an end of said handle above said fore grip region, wherein said connector is connectable to one or more resistance bands, and wherein said connector permits rotation about an axis of said handle when said connector is connected to one or more resistance bands.   
     
     
         2 . A method of sport specific conditioning for an angle, comprising the steps of:
 connecting a handle configured to simulate a casting fishing rod handle and including a rear grip region, a reel seat region, and a fore grip region, wherein a length of lever from said reel seat region to an end of said fore grip region ranges from 10 to 16 inches to one or more resistance bands using a connector positioned at an end of said handle above said fore grip region, wherein said connector permits rotation about an axis of said handle when said connector is connected to one or more resistance bands; and   performing one or more movements which simulate casting or flipping with said handle connected to one or more resistance bands.
