The Recovery Series LEX™ (Lower EX-tremity) allows for faster lower extremity recovery, from post-surgery to explosive training, in a safe and progressive manner. Users work with a percentage of their own bodyweight to perform a squat or a jump, leveraging both linear bodyweight resistance and variable band resistance.
The RS LEX™ supports the spine during traditional squat exercises to 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. The included Slide Distance Regulator allows for a customized rolling distance of the glide board based on an individual's strength and mobility.
Item #: 5900-03
Key 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.
Key Features
Adjustable incline design allows for partial bodyweight squats
Offers both linear bodyweight resistance and band variable resistance
Four latex resistance bands allow for an additional 10-70 lbs resistance in 10lb increments
Slide Distance Regulator (incl. with RS LEX) allows for customization of rolling distance of glide board based on client's strength and mobility
Steel and aluminum construction provides long-lasting durability
Includes link to exercise library with additional and advanced exercise options
Pneumatic brake reduces airborne height which reduces landing impact to protect joints
Mount/Dismount lock ensures users begin exercise from a safe and comfortable position
Specially designed curved platform follows anatomic curve of hip to foot ratio ensuring proper biomechanics throughout plyometric movements
