Leisure and top sports

Examples for indications for the use of CON-TREX systems in leisure, health and high performance sports:

  • Systematic, physiological loads of single muscles or muscles groups.
  • Differentiation between maximum strength training, training to improve rate of force development and local muscle endurance training.
  • Implementation of sport specific movement protocols. Performance of movements related to activities of daily life.
  • Evaluation of muscular and sensory motor capacities by combined measurements of muscular activity (EMG) and force/torque.
  • Performance tests (single- and multiple joint, unilateral, bilateral).
  • Preventive strength training for isolated muscles and muscle groups.
  • Documentation and analysis of training progress (training documentation).

 

 



Advantages for training:
  • Systematic dosage of loads, adapted to the individual athlete.
  • Determination of different muscular variables of the strength performance capacity in cross- sectional and longitudinal designs, for example.
    • Determination of maximum force respectively peak torque.
    • Determination of work and power.
    • Determination of rate of force development.
    • Documentation of muscular fatigue.
  • Use of different work modes.
    • isokinetic training.
    • isotonic training.
    • isometric, concentric and eccentric training.
    • ballistic training.
  • Use of different (to some extent physiological) movement velocities.
  • Imitation of sport specific movement pattern are possible.
  • Analysis of force progression over the entire range of motion.
  • Movement coordination and optimisation of appropriate muscle forces applied through immediate biofeedback.
  • Concurrent (co-contractions) and/or differentiated training of agonist and antagonist.
  • Combination of single- and multiple joint movements in testing and training. Increase of sensory motor requirements by fixation / open up of individual degrees of freedom in several joints.
