A recent study from Jean Monnet University, led by Nayel Constant under the guidance of Jean-Benoît Morin, has confirmed the effectiveness of the EXER-GENIE® Speed Trainer for resistance sprint training (RST). Here are the key takeaways for coaches using the EXER-GENIE®:
1. Accurate Calibration: The study meticulously calibrated the EXER-GENIE®, establishing its load-force characteristics across different increments and cable distances. This ensures that you can precisely manage training loads for your athletes.
2. Reliable Load-Velocity Relationship: Like traditional sleds, the EXER-GENIE® showed a linear load-velocity relationship (R² > 0.95). This means you can rely on consistent performance and make accurate adjustments based on your athletes’ metrics.
3. Enhanced Sprint Performance: Using the EXER-GENIE® helps develop crucial physical attributes for sprinting, such as maximal horizontal power and ground force application. This leads to improved acceleration, a key factor in many sports.
4. Practical and Cost-Effective: The EXER-GENIE® is user-friendly, portable, and affordable, making it an excellent alternative to sleds. It allows for versatile training environments, whether in the gym, on the track, or in other settings.
5. Individualized Training: The study demonstrates that with the EXER-GENIE®, you can create personalized training programs by establishing each athlete’s load-velocity profile. This ensures optimal training tailored to their specific needs.
Conclusion: The EXER-GENIE® Speed Trainer is validated as a reliable, practical, and cost-effective tool for resistance sprint training. Incorporating it into your training regimen can significantly enhance your athletes’ sprint performance and acceleration.
