Isometric +
Isotonic
The most
effective & efficient strength training is
using weight equipments with the
assistance of a spotter who is equipped with all necessary tools to monitor the
resistance and speed of the motion, the spotter applies additional load for
pre-stretch before each motion, and during
both concentric phase and eccentric phase to ensure maximum load (resistance)
that matches the trainee maximum capacity through out the range of motion and
though out the course of training for each and every repetition of every set,
Eccentric load (resistance) to be greater than the generated Concentric load
(resistance), and safe training with minimum risk of injury, but the spotter
assistance is not easily available. However, if the spotter is the trainee himself, then
the expense or trouble in obtaining the spotter assistance can be eliminated,
and that is the core idea of this
training technique.
Asymmetric
Physical Exercise method wherein two trainee’s body member units apply isometric load against each other directly or indirectly
while an additional load referred as bias load from an external source is
applied to one of the body member units: the body member units that is
subjected to higher load is the trainee while the other is the trainer (or
Spotter) body member units.

1 Asymmetric
Mobile Universal Machines For Complete Body Training
|
|
Mobile-Universal is a very compact and light weight unit,
designed for personal trainers to provide " in home
personal training". This unit
provides complete body strength and muscle toning training (with Asymmetric
& Isotonic techniques).
It is designed to be quickly
disassembled into four compact Modules, all can be stored and transported
in a compact automobile. At Health clubs and Gyms, in conjunction with existing Crossover
Machine, Smith Machine, Power Racks and others, it provides all the
features offered by our Asymmetric Universal Machine, with a fraction of
the cost. For downward load exercises such as Lat
machine pull downs, Standing
cable press downs, these Mobile Universal Machines employ innovative
concept of poles similar to Ski Poles to achieve compactness;
however, vertical extension posts are provided as optional feature
to allow all training routines that can be trained with a Lat Cable
Machine (As shown in the picture in the box on the right). Machines
are designed for a wide range of fitness levels, from super fits to
beginners, with special attention in accommodating persons with limited
physical mobility or handicapped.

2 Asymmetric
Universal Machines For Complete Body Training
Comprises two independent Universal Stations: Front
Universal Station and Rear Universal
Station, each provides complete training for whole body:
-
Front Universal Station:
utilizes Sway Bar/Cable System to transmit load between body members
and weight stack for Bias Load, this concept provides ease for
training and is applicable for seniors and handicappers.
-
Rear Universal Station:
utilizes Pulley/Cable System to transmit load between body member and
Dumb-Bell for Bias Load, this concept emphasizes on enhancing body
coordination.

Plyometric
Training:

Plyometric
Training Equipments |
 |
The word plyometric is beginning to be replaced by the term “stretch-shortening cycle exercise”.
This refers to the sequence of: Eccentric>isometric>concentric
When the sequence of eccentric to concentric action is performed quickly; the muscle is stretched slightly prior to the concentric action.
The slight stretching stores elastic energy which is added to the normal force developed only by the concentric muscle action.
The pre-stretch might also result in quicker recruitment of muscle fibers.
Elastic energy may account for a 30% increase in force production.
It’s important to introduce stretch-shortening training slowly into the program and keep the volume of training relatively low. |
