EQUIPMENT
The equipment used at PureSpeed is on the cutting edge of speed enhancement and sport performance training techniques.
The Force Treadmill
The Force is the ultimate tool for developing speed and power via resistance training. This Sport Loading Platform provides coaches and trainers with a controlled atmosphere from which to develop lower extremity output, increase stride length and increase overall explosiveness with measurable results for athletes. Based on WOODWAY’s patented slat and ball bearing design, the Force does not have a drive motor, but actually a magnetic braking system (0-150lbs) that turns the athlete/user into “the force” which drives the belt. The Force works by tethering the athlete to the rear of the treadmill and having them actually spin the belt as they run; adding resistance increases the force that the athlete must generate to run” (http://www.woodway.com/performancetreadmills/force.html, March 26, 2009). Using this treadmill eliminates the need to use and find the time and space for sleds on a football field.ß
The ELG or Speed Treadmill
A top of the line treadmill that focuses on running form and endurance. This treadmill has a maximum speed of 25 mph and the ability to climb to a 35 degree incline. Using this treadmill allows the emphasis on overspeed training and running mechanics.
The Vertimax
Allows the athlete to focus on power and explosion. The Vertimax maintains a constant state of resistance and allows the athlete to replicate sport specific movements during training. Early development of hip flexors and core will create positive athletic gains.
