GLOVE

1 . A glove, comprising:

a) a dorsal panel having a finger region;

b) a weight coupled to the finger region of the dorsal panel; and

c) a palmar panel coupled to the dorsal panel and thereby forming a cavity therebetween, wherein the palmar panel includes a slick surface.

2 . The glove of claim 1 , wherein the dorsal panel includes an array of four finger regions and each finger region has at least two weights coupled thereto in a longitudinally spaced relationship to each other.

3 . The glove of claim 1 , wherein the dorsal panel further includes a thumb region spaced and orientated away from the finger region and a weight coupled to the thumb region.

4 . The glove of claim 1 , wherein the weight includes a sealed pocket including heavy grains.

5 . The glove of claim 1 , wherein the weight is not selectably removable.

6 . The glove of claim 1 , wherein the slick exterior surface has a coefficient of friction smaller than about 80% of the coefficient of friction of wet hands.

7 . The glove of claim 1 , further comprising a weighted sleeve extending proximally from a proximal end of the combined dorsal and palmar panels.

8 . A glove, comprising:

a) a dorsal panel having a finger region;

b) a weight coupled to the finger region of the dorsal panel; and

c) a palmar panel coupled to the dorsal panel and thereby forming a cavity therebetween.

9 . The glove of claim 8 , wherein the dorsal panel includes an array of four finger regions and each finger region has at least two weights coupled thereto in a longitudinally spaced relationship to each other.

10 . The glove of claim 9 , wherein the dorsal panel further includes a thumb region spaced and orientated away from the finger region and a weight coupled to the thumb region.

11 . The glove of claim 10 , wherein the weight includes a sealed pocket including heavy grains.

12 . The glove of claim 11 , wherein the weight is not selectably removable.

13 . The glove of claim 12 , wherein the palmar panel includes a slick surface.

14 . The glove of claim 13 , further comprising a weighted sleeve extending proximally from a proximal end of the combined dorsal and palmar panels.

15 . The glove of claim 14 , wherein the slick exterior surface has a coefficient of friction smaller than about 80% of the coefficient of friction of wet hands.

16 . The glove of claim 12 , wherein the palmar panel includes a tacky surface having a high coefficient of friction.

17 . A method of improving physical characteristics of an athlete using a glove, comprising the steps of:

a) Providing a glove, comprising:

a1) a dorsal panel having a finger region;

a2) a weight coupled to the finger region of the dorsal panel; and

a3) a palmar panel coupled to the dorsal panel and thereby forming a cavity therebetween; and

b) Performing an athletic exercise while wearing the glove, thereby improving one or more physical characteristics of the athlete.

18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising the step of providing a slick surface to the palmar panel of the glove.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the dorsal panel includes an array of four finger regions and each finger region has at least two weights coupled thereto in a longitudinally spaced relationship to each other; wherein the dorsal panel further includes a thumb region spaced and orientated away from the finger region and a weight coupled to the thumb region.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the weight includes a sealed pocket including heavy grains.
