The VertiMax
device is composed of a platform that has certain hooks strategically placed to
vary the direction of travel. They are incorporated elastic bands whose
resistance and location can be configured and can be attached to any part of
the body of the athlete, thus causing a resistance to overcome (López, 2015).

The main function
of Vertimax is to reproduce the sports movement (any movement can be made) in a
resisted manner by means of the elastic resistance of the rubbers, thus
improving the production of explosive force. Therefore, according to this
function Vertimax has certain advantages that differentiate it from other
training materials (Benítez, 2013):
ADVANTAGES
- Thanks to the waist and ankle anchors, VertiMax can load the leg in the support phase and the impulse phase at the same time for maximum linear and lateral speed gains.
- Explosive strength improvements in highly functional exercises.
- Possibility of performing multiplanar and sequential movements.
- We can work gestures and specific skills resisted or assisted even with elements and situations of the game (technical and physical gestures very diverse: accelerations, displacements, jumps, changes of direction, thrusts, tractions, races in different planes, exits, cuts, entries to the ring, blocks, rebounds, shots, etc.).
- It has the facility of having many exits so we can integrate several athletes applying actions at the same time.
- It can be a very interesting specific medium for the prevention of injuries, since we can work with specific movements in overload and in an eccentric manner, improving strength and quality of movement.
- Novel device that can be motivating for the athlete.
Despite a great variety
of advantages, this material also has certain disadvantages (Benítez, 2013):
DISADVANTAGES
- There is a lack of research on the physiological and mechanical variables for its use, and it is difficult to program the appropriate load for each athlete.
- Many times because of the tension generated by the tires (increases as I move away from the center of the system) there is a loss of sports technique.
- The different units contained in the VertiMax wear out over time and lose performance.
- It must be placed in places where it can be properly adapted to the surface, because the grip system that is underneath is not applicable to any terrain (Lawn, Brick, Sand, etc).
Therefore, this
material can be a good option for the development of explosive strength in
specific sports skills and gestures, although more scientific information is
still needed.
This material is exclusive to the VertiMax brand itself so we can obtain it through a shipment at http://www.vertimax.cl/ or at https://tmr-world.com/tienda/vertimax-en/ for € 3300.
Finally, so that
you can better observe the operation of this material we leave you some videos:
