A physical training accessory comprises a garment or harness for securing the accessory to the body of a wearer, and a gatherable sail which is either permanently or detachably attached to the garment or harness. The sail, which may be comprised of any suitable gatherable material, is so fashioned that ground locomotion of the wearer, e.g., walking, running, skiing or skating, deploys the sail from a slack condition to a billowed condition, which increases air resistance which must be overcome by the wearer to continue the ground locomotion and so provides a valuable, extremely lightweight and compact training device. Fasteners may be provided to hold the sail in the slack condition for those times when the wearer does not wish to sustain the added air-resistance provided by the billowed sail.

A physical training accessory comprising: a gatherable sail having a wind-catching surface and being dimensioned and configured to be freely deployable between a slack condition and a billowed conditioned substantially independently of the movement and positioning of the wearer\s arms, the sail being deployable to the billowed condition solely by ground level air velocity relative to the wearer such that the billowed condition of the sail serves to increase air resistance to ground locomotion of the wearer; and an entirely flexible securement means for securing the gatherable sail to the torso of the wearer.
