For example in isokinetic: I can set the concentric velocity at 30 cm\/sec, but eccentrically at 100 cm\/sec or I can set the concentric velocity at 80 cm\/sec and eccentrically at <\/span>40 cm\/sec.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\nAll of this on the fly<\/u>, that means while the athlete is executing his \/her movement!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\nAnd also adjust the transition from concentric to eccentric<\/u> from a very sharp to a very smooth transition.<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\nAnd still the box isn\u2019t empty: the Exentrix<\/b> allows me to add:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>superimposed vibration<\/span><\/u> to a movement and I can determine the amplitude and frequency <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>random perturbation<\/span><\/u>\u00a0 <\/span>(a sudden, unexpected pull) to shock the nervous system.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\nThese last two options significantly increase muscle fibre recruitment!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\nAnd last but not least the Exentrix<\/b>has an almost unlimited set of options<\/u> which enables you to combine it with other inputs or outputs like EMG, EMS, electronic timing, jump mat, force transducer or platform, acoustic stimuli, etc. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\nThe Exentrix<\/b> can also be used in overspeed training by pulling a kayak or a sprinter. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\nThe use of it is mainly limited by my own creativity. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\nFor a short movie about the Exentrix: http:\/\/vimeo.com\/50756145 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\nFor more information about the Exentrix: contact me at: info@vortx.nl\u00a0<\/span><\/b> <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
