Is Isotronic really better for you?
- Introducing new Isotronic hydraulic Anabolic Resistance Exercise for Health program
- Safe concentric load bearing resistance training
- Combating Chronic Disease with the Isotronic Anabolic Resistance Exercise program
Preventable Chronic Disease
What are examples of preventable Chronic Disease that an effective anabolic resistance training program can avoid?
- Coronary heart disease (atherosclerosis, heart failure, hypertension, and stroke)
- Obesity
- Type 2 diabetes
- Some cancers
- Osteoporosis
- Sarcopenia
Why is the Isotronic Hydraulic resistance equipment safer & superior than other resistance equipment? It has none of these problems:
- Free weight and pin-loaded exercise equipment requires an extended period of learning the correct techniques which delays progression and requires extensive supervision by trained personnel.
- People develop considerable muscle soreness when beginning a resistance training program using such equipment due to the muscle damage that the eccentric (lowering) phase of the movement produces.
- This reduces motivation for participants and can result in significant attrition from the program.
- Use of free weight and pin loaded equipment can be noisy, take up a large floor space, and be difficult to keep tidy, all of which are considerations particularly in a hospital or aged care residential setting.
- There is an increased risk of injury when using free weight or pin loaded equipment because of the weights involved and the momentum that can be developed.
- Fitness Technology research work on the Isotronic Anabolic hydraulic resistance training program is conducted at the Edith Cowan University Biomedical & Sports Science Faculty http://www.sebhs.ecu.edu.au
