Can your sport or activity benefit from PowerCranks™?
1. Yes, if you need a combination of leg power, leg speed, and/or acceleration
to get into position to make the play.
2. Yes, if you need the independent leg control
to stop, start, or change direction to get into position to make the play.
3. Yes, if you need to be in top shape so you don't fade the last half of the game.
4. Yes, if you often make maximal, intense efforts involving power and physical
contact. You probably need to recover quickly from those efforts to be ready for the next play.
5. Yes, if your activity involves intense coordinated efforts. Uncoordinated or unbalanced movement
makes the player more likely to sustain injury. Both ACL and Hamstring pulls have
been repeatedly shown to be associated with leg muscle imbalance or poor coordination.
These are some of the reasons you or your team may benefit from using PowerCranks™ and PowerCranks™ help with all of the above in a totally non-impact way such that no one should ever get injured training on PowerCranks™.
PowerCranks™:
- Train the hamstrings, hip flexors, and the many stabilizer
muscles that control the legs and help drive them forward after the foot leaves
the ground during running. This improves top speed. PowerCranks™ also improve
the power/aerobic ability of the hip flexors, increasing the ability
to play accelerate over and over and the ability to recover quickly after such efforts.
- PowerCranks™ do almost everything necessary to improve the athletes ability to run quickly without risking injury in the process. If you haven't done so already watch a short video that explains this in some detail.
- PowerCranks™ can modify the character of the primary hip flexors from
powerful muscles with little aerobic capacity to powerful muscles with substantial
aerobic capacity (similar to the quadriceps) improving more than speed, it improves
your ability to go fast, over and over.
- An aerobic muscle has improved blood flow and more mitochondria than found
in anaerobic muscles. Improved recovery rates are possible by improving blood
flow and muscle mitochondria concentration in the hip flexors. This improved capacity
allows more frequent or sustained anaerobic bursts without degradation in effort
as the contest drags on.
- PowerCranks™ can be a rehabilitation tool to come back
from the leg & knee injuries that challenge even the best players as it is impossible to develop compsensatory bad habits or to come out of rehab unbalanced.
