Plyometric box

Abstract

Provided herein is a plyometric box comprising a rigid body having one or more recessed edges, each of the one or more recessed edges being filled by a resilient component that is attached to a surface of the recess.

1 . A plyometric box comprising:
 a rigid body having one or more recessed edges;   each of the one or more recessed edges being filled by a resilient component that is attached to a surface of the recess.   
     
     
         2 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the rigid body has one or more planar surfaces that provide a platform for performing plyometric exercises, and at least one of the edges of at least one of the planar surfaces is recessed and filled by the resilient component. 
     
     
         3 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the resilient component comprises a resilient material. 
     
     
         4 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the resilient component comprises a resilient material, and wherein the resilient material is any of a rubber and a solid foam. 
     
     
         5 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the resilient component comprises a resilient material, and wherein the resilient material is any of foam rubber, closed-cell polyethylene foam, open-cell polyethylene foam, and cross-linked polyethylene foam. 
     
     
         6 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the resilient component is attached to one or more surfaces of the recessed edge using one or more of tacks, pins, staples and adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the resilient component is attached to one or more surfaces of the recessed edge using a hook-and-loop fastener. 
     
     
         8 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the resilient component further comprises a flexible non-slip material covering a resilient material. 
     
     
         9 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the rigid body and the resilient component filling each of the one or more recessed edges are covered with a flexible non-slip material. 
     
     
         10 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the resilient component filling each of the one or more recessed edges is covered with a flexible non-slip material. 
     
     
         11 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the resilient component further comprises a flexible non-slip material covering a resilient material and wherein the flexible non-slip material is any of flexible vinyl and polyurethane leather. 
     
     
         12 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the rigid body has a substantial shape that is any of a cuboid and a frustum. 
     
     
         13 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the rigid body has a substantial shape that is any of a square cuboid, a rectangular cuboid, a pyramidal frustum, and a conical frustum. 
     
     
         14 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more recessed edges of the rigid body has a cross-sectional shape that is a regular quadrilateral. 
     
     
         15 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the rigid body has a substantial shape that is any of a cuboid and a frustum, and wherein the resilient component filling each of the one or more recessed edges has a cross-sectional shape that is a regular quadrilateral. 
     
     
         16 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more recessed edges is recessed relative to an adjacent surface of the rigid body by a distance that is between 2.5% and 15% of a length of the adjacent surface of the plyometric box. 
     
     
         17 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein all edges of the rigid body are recessed and each recessed edge is filled by the resilient component. 
     
     
         18 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the rigid body has a substantial shape that is any of a cuboid and a frustum. 
     
     
         19 . The plyometric box of  claim 1 , wherein the rigid body has a substantial shape that is any of a square cuboid, a rectangular cuboid, a pyramidal frustum, and a conical frustum, and wherein the resilient component filling each of the one or more recessed edges has a cross-sectional shape that is a regular quadrilateral.
