Abstract
An apparatus for use particularly by joggers to prevent unnecessary impacting to a jogger's knees during a downhill traverse in a jogging event. The apparatus is defined as a plurality of "U" shaped framework members arranged for interfitting relative to one another. The framework members are each separable to accommodate positioning about an individual's anatomy and are securable to the anatomy during periods of transport by a plurality of fabric straps securable together by hook and loop fasteners. An inflatable bladder is positioned adjacent each base of each respective "U" shaped framework to resiliently accommodate and cushion mounting to a torso or arm portion of an anatomy of an individual jogger during their transport prior to use.
