The ELEVATE Jump enhances explosive power and builds lower body muscle mass through two key movements: the squat and the squat jump. Expertly designed for plyometric jumping exercises, it utilizes both linear bodyweight resistance and adjustable band resistance. This machine provides concentric and eccentric muscle loading, enabling users to safely and effectively accelerate and decelerate during squat jumps in a controlled manner.
Able to accommodate all levels of fitness, the ELEVATE Jump supports the spine during traditional squat exercises so that users can comfortably control the descending and ascending phases of a squat or jump, while providing an opportunity for advanced variations including, single-leg squats and staggered stance squats.Ā
Item #: 5900-B2
Benefits
Benefits for the individual exerciser:
Designed for intuitive use and success in performing squats and squat jump exercises
Increases explosive power and joint flexibility
Increases vertical jump
Provides both concentric and eccentric muscle contractions
Strengthens all the muscles of the lower body
Allows for plyometric, jumping movements which provide a cardio workout
Ability to perform multiple squat variations
Enhanced functional performance of daily activities and increased athleticism
Exercises can be progressed or regressed to accommodate all fitness levels
Eccentric loading trains muscles/tendons to efficiently store and recover energy during jump exercise movements
Eccentric contractions results in a protective adaptation in the muscles, protecting them from damage.
Training applications and biomechanics:
Closed-chain partial loading of the joints
Platform provides option for multiple foot positions
Provides both concentric and eccentric loading
Ability to adjust range of motion
Option to train using only bodyweight
Option to add band variable resistance for increased eccentric force
Reliable tool for assessing lower body strength.
