Why SpeedChain^TM?

Here's why:

Chains defy the law of gravity by creating a resistance that moves and retains its resistance during any movement that the human body can produce. As unbelievable as it sounds, this applies to movements in all directions whether it be linear, at an up or down angle, ina side-to-side direction, along curved paths, or rotational. Therefore, an athlete is now able to train for all sports specific movement patterns of any sport. This is essential for the sport specific training of throwing, swinging, kicking or any other functional movement that contains high amounts of joint rotations.

Try to obtain that type of resistance with a rubber band, isokinetic device, pulley system or free weights and you'll find it impossible. Those exercises suffer from their inherent linearity and are unable to retain resistance in circular, rotational movements. And with free weights, because gravity is asisting the downward movement, the user cannot obtain concentric contraction resistancein the downward direction. The result is only the eccentric or negative resistance being available.

The unique attribute ofthe chain results in the effective training of athletes for what would otherwise be very difficult movements. It is also what allows coaches and players to "groove" correct movement patterns and develop good techniques inless time than when using current equipment.

Chain resistance can be altered in milliseconds. Simple yet so novel, chains have the ability to present a sport specific variable weight load which consists of different phases of the swinging or throwing motion being weighted differently.
But instead of viewing this as a variable weight load as in weightlifting, how about looking at chains as being able to create a variable force load? "How can you do this?" you ask.

Biomechanical researchers have studed many different sport motions have done the work of calculating and graphing the amount of force generated at the various phases of athletic motions. Breaking it down in milliseconds, they know where the force levels are high or low, etc. They also know where acceleration and deceleration occurs. Armed with this knowledge, VST has overloaded each phase evenly and created a variagle force resistance that is light enough to allow for higher acceleration yet deliver high resistance where the force levels are high. All in one motion. And only milliseconds apart!!!
