TREINAMENTO EXCÊNTRICO

Besides the standard feedback mode (bar graph displaying the concentric power for each rep), SmartCoach™   offers advanced training modalities.

For example, during the exercise it is possible to additionally plot (yellow bars) the eccentric power developed during each rep: 

SmartCoach™  also features an unique feedback modality (figure below), which allows training with controlled eccentric overload. This is particularly suited for eccentric training using YoYo Technology™ machines. In this mode, the eccentric power will be controlled instead of the concentric power.

For example  setting an eccentric overload of 40 ± 5% means that, for each rep, the eccentric peak power should be between 35% and 45% higher than the corresponding concentric power of the same rep. For each rep, the concentric peak power will be plotted in yellow regardless of its value, while eccentric power will be plotted in:

• blue, if the overload is insufficient (eccentric power below 135% of the concentric power)
• green, if the overload is sufficient (eccentric power between 135% and 145%)
• red, if the overload is excessive (eccentric power above 145% of the concentric power)

SmartCoach™  has several additional options to control the feedback during exercise, covering all possible needs during standard or personalized exercises.

Once the exercise is terminated, it is possible to immediately review and analyze both the concentric and eccentric power developed, either average or peak.
