"Train slow - play slow" is the negative physiological reality well understood at the elite athlete level.

Resistance training in addition to increasing strength, creates "muscle memory" relative to speed, muscle recruitment and movement direction. Weight training requires slow movement because of inertia.

The resistance profile of lifting weight mass starts with a resistance peak at the beginning (overcoming resting weight mass inertia). While in motion inertia carries the weight thru the middle of the repetition (reduced resistance). The end of the lift requires reduced effort /speed, or inertia carries the mass which becomes "thrown" at the end of the stroke.

For example a bench press using weight mass at even moderate speed requires deceleration in the final 25% of the stroke - exactly where the muscle group is the strongest and capable of creating the greatest force if properly trained with resistance and speed or Power Training. The lack of inertia is the BIOTRON™'s Power Training enabling feature.

The versatility derived from having many exercise options, allows sport specific power training of appropriate muscle groups and muscle activation sequence. With these features the BIOTRON™ enables sport specific training protocols beneficial for any athlete (including elite athletes) wanting more power for their sports specific activities.

General populations, especially seniors, benefit greatly from circuit power training with real life functional improvement, including quicker reflex and power reactions resulting in reducing fall injury severity among other benefits.
