Pasco Force Plates
Portable platforms that can be used independently or as a pair to measure asymmetries between left and right legs. The platform can be used to measure vertical force during dynamic and static movements such as jumps or isometric pulls. The Pasco Force platform will collect in one plane from Jump testing and the mid thigh pul. These are particularly useful to look at the bodies symmetry and devise programmes that are specific to the individual ensuring the best possible results when fitness planning, these force plates are excellent to retest and track and monitor progress.
Exxentrix K Box
Flywheel training also offers safe and easy eccentric overload offering the user higher gains in muscle mass and strength.There is no upper limit to how much kinetic energy you can produce, in the flywheel motion. This means that you can always use a higher force and accelerate the flywheel more. Resistance is variable in that if you pull less the flywheel will resist less. Therefore, the kBox4 is suitable for both resistance training and rehabilitation.
With FWEDs, every repetition is maximal, with both a higher force early in the set and lower in the end, making the exercise much more efficient. This is why flywheel training gives a hypertrophic response earlier in the training regimen than traditional weights.
You can also attach any handle or grip and do many upper body pulling and pushing exercises for arms, shoulders, upper and lower back.
