Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to an apparatus for strength training while participating in full contact sports.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Conventional football thigh pads include a curved shape typically with three ridges formed across the pad. These known football thigh pads have a rigid element and are covered completely by a shock absorbing material. The mass of the conventional football thigh pads is typically a couple of grams as a primary object of their design is to provide adequate protection with minimal weight, such as, to not slow down a running back during a game.[0005]Weighted suits for working out to increase strength training and / or calorie burning typically include one or more weights added to ankles and / or wrists. Special suits adapted to carry unpadded weights in pockets located on the thighs and elsewhere increase a risk of injury to the wearer and / or other players if these known suits are used...
