Accordingly to one embodiment, an exercise device comprising a T-shaped cylindrical member with an associated mounting assembly that permits the device to be removably mounted to the edge of a door and utilized when the door is closed is described. When an elongated rope with handles at its ends is wrapped around the T-shaped cylindrical member in the desired configuration, a significant amount of resistance to movement of the rope is provided. In one preferred form of exercising using the device, the exerciser provides a small counter force to the handle being held by the arm that is not being exercised and the resulting force necessary to move the handle and rope with the arm being exercised is a much greater than the small counter force as a result of the multiplier effect of the wrapping of the rope around the T-shaped cylindrical member.

An exercise device adaptable for exercising that utilizes both a weight and rope friction to provide load resistance is described. Preferred embodiments of the exercise device are adapted for use in conjunction with a doorway and an associated door. By selectively wrapping a rope, which is connected to the weight on one end and a grip on the other, around a cylindrical member, the effective load experienced by a user pulling on the handle is multiplied many times in excess of the weight's mass. By removably attaching the exercise device to the door and the doorway, no additional framework is required thereby making the device relatively lightweight and compact.

An improved frictional resistance exercise system is disclosed. Typically, the improved frictional resistance exercise system includes a plurality of T-shaped cylindrical members and a plurality of door mount assemblies. Each of the plurality of door mount assemblies is adapted to fit over a door edge and extend to at least one of a door front surface and a door back surface allowing a door to be opened or closed when coupled thereon. Moreover, each of the plurality of T-shaped cylindrical members is coupled to each of the plurality of door mount assemblies. A rope having a first end and a second end is slidably coupled to each of the plurality of T-shaped cylindrical members. Exemplary exercise routines for use with the improved frictional resistance exercise system whereby the resistance can be varied throughout the range of motion of the exercise routine are further disclosed.

A support assembly for use in controlling basketball dunk shots at all height settings of the goal. The support assembly, upon which is mounted the basketball basket and backboard, controls a downward dunking force and then returns at a slower controlled rate to its original position. The assembly may also control a forward dunking force, from a player approaching the basket from a center court position, during a dunk shot and then returns the assembly at a slower controlled rate upon completion of the dunk shot. The assembly may also be used to control a sideways force occurring from a dunk shot when a player hits the basket from the side court. When this happens the support assembly will rotate to absorb the dunking force and then will return to its original position at a slower controlled rate.
