Abstract

See full text

An athletic training apparatus for use to facilitate a stretch of a hamstring muscle of a user in a supine position is provided. The training apparatus helps to maintain a neutral spine of the user and prevent posterior pelvic tilt during the stretch. The athletic training apparatus includes a strap having a first end portion with a loop designed to engage the user's foot and a second end portion designed to engage the user's hand, and a strut having a first end slidably mounted to the strap and a second end designed to contact the user's hip region. A pulling force applied to the second end portion of the strap permits the loop of the strap to raise the foot to a generally upright position, thereby stretching the user's hamstring muscle.
