Abstract

A resistance exercise device comprising a first elastic resistance member, a knee attachment having a first attachment mechanism for attachment to said first elastic member and a second attachment mechanism for attachment to a user's distal thigh, a foot attachment having a first attachment mechanism for attachment to said first elastic member, a second attachment mechanism for attachment to a user's distal foot, in which one of the attachment mechanisms for attachment to the first elastic member provides a variable length attachment; and in which the exercise device is configured and arranged to provide an upwards force on the user's foot when worn by a user.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A resistance exercise device comprising:
 a first elastic resistance member   a knee attachment comprising:
 a first attachment mechanism for attachment to said first elastic member 
 a second attachment mechanism for attachment to a user's distal thigh a foot attachment comprising: 
 a first attachment mechanism for attachment to said first elastic member 
 a second attachment mechanism for attachment to a user's distal foot; 
   wherein one of said attachment mechanisms for attachment to said first elastic member provides a variable length attachment; and   wherein said exercise device is configured and arranged to provide an upwards force on said user's foot when worn by a user.   
     
     
         2 . A resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said foot attachment mechanism comprises a hook for attachment to shoelaces. 
     
     
         3 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said knee attachment and foot attachment comprise fabric. 
     
     
         4 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said knee attachment and foot attachment comprise neoprene. 
     
     
         5 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said knee attachment and foot attachment comprise an antimicrobial material. 
     
     
         6 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , and further comprising a second elastic resistance member. 
     
     
         7 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein said second elastic resistance member has a spring constant different than said first elastic resistance member. 
     
     
         8 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein said elastic resistance members having a different spring constant are a different color. 
     
     
         9 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said knee to elastic member attachment is selected from the group of: an attachment clip, a buckle, an attachment adapter, a carabiner, a loop, an o-ring, a hook, and a cord closure. 
     
     
         10 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said knee attachment further comprises a wrap-around thigh strap containing hook and loop fastening surfaces. 
     
     
         11 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said knee attachment has two attachments for a first and second elastic resistance member configured and arranged on opposite sides of a user's leg. 
     
     
         12 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said device comprises a sweat absorbing substance. 
     
     
         13 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said foot attachment has a rigid bottom surface for engaging a user's foot. 
     
     
         14 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said elastic member is selected from the group of: a rubber, a spring, or a nylon. 
     
     
         15 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said elastic member has a non-linear spring coefficient. 
     
     
         16 . The resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said foot attachment comprises a pocket shaped member for surrounding a user's foot. 
     
     
         17 . An elastic resistance exercise device comprising:
 a knee attachment means comprising:
 a first sheath configured to engage a user's lower thigh region, 
 a wrap-around thigh strap containing hook and loop fastening surfaces, 
   a foot attachment means comprising:
 a second sheath configured to engage a user's foot 
 a wrap-around foot strap containing hook and loop fastening surfaces, 
   a first elastic member configured to pull said foot attachment means upwards when worn by a user.   
     
     
         18 . The elastic resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 17 , and further comprising a elastic member length adjustment mechanism. 
     
     
         19 . The elastic resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 17 , wherein said first and second sheath comprise a fabric. 
     
     
         20 . The elastic resistance exercise device as set forth in  claim 17 , wherein said first and second sheath comprise neoprene.
