Hurdle Assist is a new and revolutionary device for athletes to use during their practice sessions.
Hurdle Assist consists of a clip which attaches to a flexible plastic rod which is then attached to the side of a hurdle. Athletes can then run over the plastic Hurdle Assist rod without fear of hitting a standard hurdle.
Running over hurdles can be difficult. Much practice is required to become proficient in hurdling. Athletes-especially beginners-who run hurdles, may crash into hurdles during practice sustaining minor to severe injuries. The Hurdle Assist rod is almost resistance free. Therefore, no injuries can occur during use.
For Beginners: It is normal to run into hurdles and to fall due to a lack of experience with hurdles. Beginners may become discouraged if they struggle to clear hurdles. They may even stop participating in hurdling events altogether. Running into a piece of hardwood with metal and sharp edges can be scary for new hurdlers. Hurdle Assist can be used to help beginners learn to clear hurdles safely and easily. No beginners should give up or quit due to a fear of running hurdles.
The following are some of the reasons an athlete might not be able to clear a hurdle.
- Not enough speed to lift the body over the hurdle.
- The hurdle being too close or too far from the hurdler.
- Low elevation over the hurdle. The hurdle will get hit by either the lead or the trail leg.
- Inconsistent steps between the hurdles.
- Lack of balance when running over hurdles.
How to use Hurdle Assist:
Beginners can run into the flexible Hurdle Assist rods without the fear of getting injured.
- For Beginners, Hurdle Assist can be attached to neighboring hurdles to create a single flexible hurdle.
- By attaching Hurdle Assist to hurdles, a runner can use Hurdle Assist for practicing with either their lead or trail leg.
- Unlike the hurdle which the runner can run over in one direction, runners can run over Hurdle Assist in either direction.
- Hurdle Assist is easy to use, easy to store and easy to carry. Athletes can simply fit it in their bags.
- Hurdle Assist is made of two parts which can be separated and re-connected for easier storage.
Hitting hurdles or crashing into them and hitting the ground can happen to any hurdler-beginner to elite.
For the more experienced and elite athlete, running over hurdles may not be as difficult. Elite athletes have had a lot of practice and may have learned many effective hurdling techniques. Elite athletes can still effectively optimize their training routines by using Hurdle Assist for lead and trail leg drills.
On days when athletes may not be in peak physical condition, using Hurdle Assist will allow them to practice running hurdles safely with minimal risk of injury.
Hurdles are sturdy and will offer resistance to a hurdler when hit with the weight of the hurdler. Hurdle Assist is clipped to the side of the hurdle and extends out and away from the hurdle. With Hurdle Assist, there is almost no resistance when a hurdler runs into it. Hurdle Assist will simply move in the direction of the force that hits it.
Hurdle Assist is made for all levels of hurdlers. Beginners and professional athletes alike can use this device to improve their records.
Disclaimer: Since there is no resistance when athletes use Hurdle Assist, there is a chance that the Hurdle Assist might break free from the hurdle and fly in the direction in which it was hit. Athletes should always exercise caution while using Hurdle Assist to ensure their safety and the safety of others who might be nearby. Hurdle Assist LLC assumes no liability for any injuries caused by using Hurdle Assist. Always use Hurdle Assist safely and as instructed.
