What do Desmotec Flywheel Eccentric Training Devices add to a traditional warm up.

What do Desmotec Flywheel Eccentric Training Devices add to a traditional warm up.

This paper looks at how warming-up with  Desmotec Flywheel Eccentric training devices may make you better prepared for competition.

The Desmotec devices are highly portable and easy to have on the sideline or in the warm up area at tourmnaments. The  Postactivation Potentiation(PAP) from using Desmotec flywheel devices is significant and will have an increased initial impact between 3-9 minutes after work.

Background to Eccentric Overload Training(EOL)

Eccentric Overload(EOL) training is a methodology used to improve sports performance, and it is commonly generated from flywheel devices because it is easiest done this way.

They create more power in less time than other methods of work in a functional way(from 20-60% more than Concentric isometric contraction)

 

The Science-PAP when warming-up with Desmotec

Eccentric Overload Training(EOL) was found to be a valid exercise to stimulate PAP.

EOL bout increased the jump height, peak power, impulse and peak force during a CMJ, as well as the quadriceps and hamstrings isokinetic strength in male athletes. Optimal time window for PAP was 3-9 minutes post exercise but also some increments were observed at 1 minute

(Effects of Postactivation Potentiation(PAP) after an Eccentric Overload bout on Countermovement Jump and Lower-Limb muscle strength- Marco Beato,Adam Stiff and Giuseppe Coratella)

Optimal sets and rests of Eccentric  Overload Training(EOL) was found to be  2 or 3 sets of 6 repetitions with a 2 minute passive rest recover.

Effect of Volume on Eccentric Overload–Induced Postactivation Potentiation of Jumps Kevin L. de Keijzer, Stuart A. McErlain-Naylor, Antonio Dello Iacono, and Marco Beato)

Eccentric contractions exploit greater muscular mechanical efficiency in comparison to concentric contractions because greater levels of force can be produced with less energy.

(Hody et al 2019, Zamparo et al 2015)

Accentuated Eccentric muscle contractions can elicit a few beneficial neuromuscular adaptations:    

  1. Improved motor unit synchronization
  2. Selective Recruitment of Higher -order Motor Units
  3. Greater motor unit discharge rate(Hody et al 2019)

These responses represent key aspects for muscular strength and power development(Douglas et al 2017)

Eccentric Overload Training absorbs more energy in less time is key to preventing injuries and increasing the performance. This absorbing of energy is best done by improving Eccentric strength and that by Eccentric Overload(EOL) training with Flywheel devices.Deceleration in sport by Dr.Damien Harper www.humanbrakingperformance.com/research

Benefits of warming-up with Desmotec Flywheel Eccentric Devices

  1. Eccentric contractions exploit greater muscular mechanical efficiency in comparison to concentric contractions
  2. Recruits Higher-order Motor Units
  3. Improves Motor Unit synchronization
  4. PAP response 3-9 minutes
  5. Improves power/explosiveness as compared Concentric warm up
  6. Desmotec Devices are portable

Summary

Warming up with Desmotec Flywheel Eccentric training devices give you an edge in  training or competition and they are so easy to use because they are so portable. Why wouldn’t you want to have this advantage right from the start. Contact Rubicon Sports to find out what devices are going to be best for you.

Anecdotally

Paul Gagne(Posturologist and Strength Coach-Ice Hockey)

Found after a bout of squats with the Desmotec D Full that he and his players noticed an  Immediate increase in verticle Jump and a greater activation/power of the legs on the ice.

Upon my arrival at Wasps I was given the opportunity to create a gym space that I had always wanted to work in. Having visited and trained in many gyms around the world I had a pretty good idea of the kind of working space that I wanted to create. A gym for me has to be able to stand the test of time. I am not one for gimmicky trends that are so often pushed on environments and believe a gym should be a space that, regardless of program, should be able to cater for any program or vision.
Dan BaughHead of Strength and Conditioning - Wasps Rugby
Rubicon Sports was the first European company working in the UK that I became aware of that supplied the highly regarded PowerLift strength and conditioning equipment. The choice of this equipment has proved itself over the last 15 years, the equipment is durable and remained current in it design and function.
Dave ClarkHead of Fitness - IRFU Fitness Department
I have used Powerlift products (supplied through Rubicon) for 5 years now have never been disappointed. Following a very professional fit out and after care I have found the quality of Powerlift still beats anyone else out there. Built to the highest quality, they will last far longer than the competitors and are built with the user in mind. I have experienced a full array of their platforms and benches and their robustness and quality means they still look and operate excellent condition, even after high use.
Joel BranniganHead of Strength and Conditioning at Durham CCC and UKSCA Assessor
When setting up our strength and conditioning facility, I wanted our athletes to have access to the finest equipment available that would allow us to deliver the widest range of training inputs, in the knowledge that the equipment would stand up to everything our athletes would throw at it. Power lift equipment was the obvious choice, being the premier product in the industry and I can’t be more pleased with our decision. Despite constant heavy use, the equipment looks as good today as it did when it arrived. It truly does stand the test of time.
Dr.Ian JeffreysSenior Lecturer, University of South Wales
In our Olympic training centres, we need to ensure that the equipment we provide for our athletes is of the highest possible quality. It needs to be tough, long lasting and adaptable to our requirements. That is why we have made the choice to install Powerlift equipment in each of our training centres. Powerlift produces an exceptional range of products that allow us to optimise our facilities and enable our athletes to maximise their training and reach their potential.
