Wearable resistance training system and method

Abstract

The present technology discloses a wearable resistance training system designed to be worn on both the torso and a limb of a human body. The system includes a torso portion, which features a torso attachment portion and a belt, and a cuff that attaches to the limb. A resistance band connects the torso and cuff attachments, providing resistance during body movement. This wearable resistance training system enables “on-court” and “on-field” resistance training, integrating strength-building with the performance of specific activities. Its innovative design enhances the quality and efficiency of resistance training.
