Weight Training Equipment
      All forms, categorized according to the underlying technology: constant resistance, variable resistance, accommodating resistance and static resistance. Examples:

• fluid and electromagnetic machines (accommodating resistance)
• air machines (semi-accommodating, low inertia resistance)
• cam and sliding lever machines (variable resistance)
• pulley machines and free weights (constant resistance)
• throw/release weight machines (low-ballistic constant resistance)
• isometric devices and techniques (static resistance)

Other Resistance-Training Techniques or Apparatus
      Not involving the use of built-in resistance sources, but instead manipulating resistance via the effects of body weight, wind or water. Examples

• swimming against a current
• plyometric training
• resistance stretching
• blocking sleds
• assisted or weighted running, sprinting, etc.
• supportive garb and other similar devices (as in powerlifting)

Non-Resistance Products
      Examples:

• nasal strips
• shoes/sneakers
• timers
• biofeedback products
• specific advancements in athletes' equipment or apparel...

Programs for Training or Competition
      These could be computerized or in the more traditional printed format. Examples:

• integration of training with diet and supplementation
• periodized programs
• skills programs

Ingestible Ergogenic or Anabolic Substances
      Examples:

• manipulation of diet
• "nutriceuticals" like creatine
• colloidal minerals
• HMB (hydroxymethylbuterate)

Other Products
      Examples:

• therapeutic technologies
• psychological strategies
• medical support systems (chiropractic, drug therapy, etc.)
