PILOT STUDY REGARDING THE IMPLEMENT OF INNOVATIVE EQUIPMENT IN FORCE TRAINING

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the perception over the innovative systems of barbell- extensor (concentric and exocentric) and helcometers bar with extensor system, focused on development and recovery of mass and muscular force. Subjects tested were males (N=10), aged between 19 to 32 (average 21.54 years), executing a training program with innovative equipments, of individually intensity. After 24 hours, they filled a questioner of 8 items (open and closed questions). The results proved that new equipment exhibits advantages related to the isolation efficiency of exercises, but the training programs must be constructed taking into consideration that joints are more stressed than in case of classical devices. Still, the pressure on spinal column is lower when using innovative devises.
