Materials for Physical Activity & Sports : ISOINERTIAL MACHINE

This material is relatively new on the market, had you heard speaking about it?

Before speaking about them we are going to remind 3 phases of movements that we can develop, that are:

1. Concentric phase, which we realize in opposition to the force of the gravity.

2. Isometric phase, exact moment that exists in the change of the concentric phase to the eccentric phase

3. Eccentric phase, which movement is in favour of the force of the gravity

Now, these machines isoinerciales consist of a set of mechanisms that accentuate the eccentric phase of the movement. They possess a few steering wheels or wheels of inertia which guards the energy that we produce in the concentric phase to return it in the eccentric phase. The function of the person will be to stop this force returned by the machine. Both machines isoinerciales more important are:

1. Technology YO-YO

2. Conical pulley

This type of elements can be used both in physical activity and health and in the different sports. The first one of them will be more used in such sports as the football or the basketball and the second one will be more used in fitness and centres of physical activity and sports readaptation.

Now then, which are the benefits that this type of machine produces to me?

Firstly, fits to say that it is demonstrated scientific that an eccentric work improve the prevention of injuries, by what it is very used in different sports. In general, the benefits that this element can produce are:

1. It reinforces the connective fabric

2. It increases the threshold of break of the muscle

3. It increases the force at tendons

4. It favors the prevention and rehabilitation of diseases in tendons

5. Especially in football players it reinforces the hamstring

6. It improves the maximum voluntary contraction

7. To work the eccentric phase will favor the muscular hypertrophy

We meet different distributors of conical pulleys, but we are going to centre on the web page https://tecnosportonline.com where we can find the following types with your respective prices:
