Abstract

A glove including a dorsal panel having a finger region. The dorsal panel includes an array of four finger regions and each finger region having at least two weights coupled thereto in a longitudinally spaced relationship to each other. The dorsal panel includes a thumb region spaced and orientated away from the finger region. The thumb region includes a weight coupled thereto. The glove includes a weight coupled to the finger region of the dorsal panel. The weight includes a sealed pocket having heavy grains. The weight is not selectably removable. The glove includes a palmar panel coupled to the dorsal panel and thereby forming a cavity therebetween. The palmar panel includes a slick surface.

Claims (28)

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 exterior surface, wherein the palmar panel includes a palmar array of four finger regions and the slick exterior surface extends along the palmar array of four finger regions of the palmar panel.

2. The glove of claim 1 , wherein the finger region of the dorsal panel includes an array of four finger regions and the array of four finger regions has at least two weights coupled to each 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, wherein the palmar panel includes a slick exterior surface that extends along four fingers of the palmar panel.

9. The glove of claim 8 , wherein the finger region of the dorsal panel includes an array of four finger regions and the array of four finger regions has at least two weights coupled to each 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 at least two weights each include a sealed pocket including heavy grains.

12. The glove of claim 11 , wherein the at least two weights are not selectably removable.

13. The glove of claim 12 , further comprising a weighted sleeve extending proximally from a proximal end of the combined dorsal and palmar panels.

14. The glove of claim 13 , wherein the slick exterior surface has a coefficient of friction smaller than about 80% of the coefficient of friction of wet hands.

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

a) providing the 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 with a palmar array of four finger regions coupled to the dorsal panel and thereby forming a cavity therebetween, wherein the palmar panel includes a slick exterior surface that extends along the palmar array of four finger regions of the palmar panel; and

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

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the finger region of the dorsal panel includes an array of four finger regions and the array of four finger regions has at least two weights coupled to each 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.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the at least two weights each include a sealed pocket including heavy grains.
