Physically the machine is quite simple. A sled travels along a track. Weights may be added or removed from the sled. The user pulls on a rope, which is attached to the sled, accelerating the sled. The rope is guided through pulleys that are placed at the center of the track. When the sled passes these pulleys the force of the sleds acceleration is reversed. The user must now deal with stopping the sled. And, once the sled is stopped its time for another repetition.
The main aspect of Inertial Exercise is it's superior ability to influence neuromuscular education. No other exercise technology deals with the training of acceleration like Inertial Exercise. Like wise no other technology deals with training coordination like Inertial Exercise. With other forms of exercise the user increases the weight or the tension in the exercise to increase muscle strength and performance. Inertial Exercise is performed in exactly the opposite manner. The user reduces the weight in the exercise to increase muscle power and performance. In doing so the neuromuscular system develops higher levels of coordination and reaction time.
Working out with free weights always presents the issue of gravity. Gravity acting on the weight has a dramatic influence on the muscles learning curve in dealing with acceleration. The same is true of cable column weight technologies. Inertial Exercise removes gravity from the equation. The muscles performing the exercise of accelerating the weight are no longer influenced by it. They are free to learn the experience of quick contractions without the damaging effects of gravities revenge.
The energy of each repetition of Inertial Exercise is dictated completely by the ability of the muscles involved in the exercise. As weight is removed from the sled the capacity for greater acceleration is presented. Greater levels of acceleration require greater levels of coordination. If the user has the necessary coordination and control of muscles involved then exercise continues. If the user does not then operation of the machine is not possible. That is to say each repetition is dependent on the coordination of the user. The beautiful thing about Inertial Exercise is that if the user gradually reduces the weight while maintaining coordination then extremely high levels of coordination are attained at an incredible learning rate.
Coordination learned from Inertial Exercise quickly affect ones performance in athletics or daily living. Joints become more reliable and less likely to acquire injury. The body's core becomes more stable and attains a higher level of balance. And with this higher level of coordination comes confidence, physical power, and an injury free body. |
