Abstract
A training device for limiting limb movement over a predetermined range of motion providing habit formation for activities such as sports requiring memory of arm or leg movement. The device includes a resilient spacer means such as a block or ball disposed within a pocket in a strap which fits snugly around the players forearm. The spacer means and pocket are oriented in a position to permit limited pivotal movement of the elbow to an angle of about 90 degrees whereby the spacer contacts the forearm and upper arm. The elbow is prevented from pivoting beyond the point at which the forearm forms a selected angle with the upper arm. The strap is adjusted by a user to restrict the angle to which the elbow can be bent on the backward movement of the arm. Forward movement of the arm during a shot is not restricted.
