the computer being programmed to:

receive input as to a user's body dimensions and the particular body movement engaged in by the user;

determine one or more anchor groupings, each anchor grouping defining one or more anchors on the panel and each anchor in an anchor grouping being an anchor to which the proximal end of a resistance line attached to a specific location on the user may attach while the user is engaged in the particular body movement; and

output a signal to the printer instructing the printer to print a sheet;

the printed sheet being adapted to overlay and removably attach to the front surface of the panel;

the printed sheet including one or more printed demarcated areas, each demarcated area defining an anchor grouping when the sheet is overlaid on the panel;

each demarcated area on the printed sheet including holes that allow access through the sheet so as to allow each anchor in an anchor grouping defined by the demarcated area to connect to a resistance line attached to the user when the sheet is in the overlaid position; and

the printed sheet identifying for each demarcated area the specific location on the user at which the distal end of a resistance line connected to an anchor grouping defined by the demarcated area should connect while the user is engaged in the particular body movement.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the printed sheet depicts a printed human form image, the human form image defining an area containing the one or more demarcated areas; and

each demarcated area identifying the location on the user's body at which the distal end of a resistance line connected to an anchor grouping defined by the demarcated area should attach.

3. The system of claim 2 wherein the human form image depicts a body position to be assumed by the user to begin using the apparatus to train the particular body movement.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the human form image depicts a human form in an act of kicking, throwing, holding a baseball bat or striking.

5. The system of claim 1 further including a harness wearable by the user, the harness including at least one receiver to which the distal end of a resistance line may attach.

6. A kinetic chain training system for providing resistive force to a user's body while the user is engaged in a particular body movement, the system comprising:

a panel;

the panel having a front surface and a plurality of anchors disposed across the front surface of the panel;

a plurality of elastic resistance lines, each elastic resistance line having a proximal end and a distal end;

the distal end of each elastic resistance line being adapted to removably connect to one or more locations on the user's body;

the proximal end of each elastic resistance line being adapted to removably connect to one or more of the plurality of anchors;

a computer and a projector, the projector in electronic communication with the computer;

the computer being programmed to:

receive input as to a user's body dimensions and the particular body movement engaged in by the user;

determine one or more anchor groupings, each anchor grouping defining one or more anchors on the panel and each anchor in an anchor grouping being an anchor to which the proximal end of a resistance line attached to a specific location on the user may attach while the user is engaged in the particular body movement; and

output a signal to the projector instructing the projector to project an image on the panel;

the projected image including one or more projected demarcated areas, each demarcated area defining an anchor grouping; and

the projected image further identifying for each demarcated area the specific location on the user at which the distal end of a resistance line connected to the anchor grouping defined by the demarcated area should connect while the user is engaged in the particular body movement.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein the projected display depicts a human form image, the human form image defining an area containing the one or more demarcated areas; and

each demarcated area identifying the location on the user's body at which the distal end of a resistance line connected to an anchor grouping defined by the demarcated area should attach.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein the human form image depicts a body position to be assumed by the user to begin using the apparatus to train the particular body movement.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein the human form image depicts a human form in an act of kicking, throwing, holding a baseball bat or striking.

10. The system of claim 6 further including a harness wearable by the user, the harness including at least one receiver to which the distal end of a resistance line may attach.

11. A kinetic chain training system for providing resistive force to a user's body while the user is engaged in a particular body movement, the system comprising:

a panel in electronic communication with a computer;

the panel having a front surface and a plurality of anchors disposed across the front surface of the panel;

each anchor on the panel including an electronically activated indicator integral with or proximate to the anchor;

a plurality of elastic resistance lines, each elastic resistance line having a proximal end and a distal end;

the distal end of each elastic resistance line being adapted to removably connect to one or more locations on the user's body;

the proximal end of each elastic resistance line being adapted to removably connect to one or more of the plurality of anchors;

the computer being programmed to:

receive input as to a user's body dimensions and the particular body movement engaged in by the user;

determine one or more anchor groupings, each anchor grouping defining one or more anchors on the panel and each anchor in an anchor grouping being an anchor to which the proximal end of a resistance line attached to a specific location on the user may attach while the user is engaged in the particular body movement; and

output a signal to the panel causing the activation of the indicators for the one or more anchors in each of the one or more determined groupings of anchors; and

a display device in communication with the computer that provides a display that identifies for each anchor grouping the specific location on the user at which the distal end of a resistance line connected to the anchor grouping should connect while the user is engaged in the particular body movement.

12. The system of claim 11 further including a harness wearable by the user, the harness including at least one receiver to which the distal end of a resistance line may attach.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein the display device is a projector;
