Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a physical training apparatus, and in particular to a relay race training apparatus. The relay race training apparatus includes a tread mill, a column disposed at a side of the tread mill through a linear driving device, a swinging device disposed on the column, and a catching and releasing device connected to the swinging device, wherein the swinging device is used to simulate swinging and turning over of the catching and releasing device by a baton passer or a baton receiver in a running process, the catching and releasing device includes a catching and releasing body, a holding groove for holding a baton is disposed on the catching and releasing body, a limiting plate for limiting the position of the baton and a driving mechanism for driving the limiting plate to move along the baton are disposed in the holding groove.

Abstract: A method of playing a game of snapping a cone-ended projectile (a “cat”) from a flat surface upwardly into the air and hitting it again using a generally flat-sided bat, the hit directing the cat as near as possible to arrive at a remote target. The cat is generally uniform in section at its center with at least one tapered end, and it may be of wood or of soft but fairly heavy, rubbery material or internally weighted so as not to cause injury if it hits a child or other person. Striking the cat downwardly with an edge of the bat on a tapered portion of an end pops the cat into the air to start the play. While the cat is in the air, spinning from the initial launch, it is hit again with the face of the bat and propelled toward the target 10-20 yards or more away from the launching point. The player who gets the cat first into, or closest to the center of, the target, wins, in a multi-player game.

Abstract: A dart projectile game and its associated method of play. A launcher is provided that has a base and a lever suspended above the base by a fulcrum connection. The lever has a first end and an opposite second end that can teeter up and down. Magnetic material is coupled to the base below the first end of the lever. A projectile is provided that contains a magnet tip. Furthermore, a target is provided that has at least one magnetic section. The projectile is placed on the first end of the lever, wherein the magnet in the projectile attracts the magnetic material under the first end of the lever and biases the first end of the lever downwardly. A person presses down on the second end of the lever with enough force to overcome the magnetic attraction and accelerate the projectile into flight toward the target.
