The Recovery Series LEX™ (Lower extremity) 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 body weight 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
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 in 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 result in a protective adaptation in the muscles, protecting them from damage.
Training applications and biomechanics:
- Closed-chain partial loading of the joints
- The platform provides an option for multiple foot positions
- It gives 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 abnormal force
- Reliable tool for assessing lower body strength.
