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
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.
