Exercise Modes Explained
Standard
In Standard mode you experience a constant weight thoughout the range of movement. The speed of the movement is dictated by the effort applied.
This type of exercise can promote muscle growth and strength (hypertrophy) and often brings benefits to other muscle groups such as core depending on the exercise dynamics.
With all exercises that put stress on the skeleton they are good for incresing bone density. Overall this mode mimics real-world activities enhancing coordination and functional strength.
Isokinetic
In this mode we control the speed of the movement to be constant by adjusting the resistance, regardless of effort applied. This is ideal for reducing the risk of injury while giving you the ability to push yourself harder.
The muscles are worked evenly throughout the movement which can lead to more balanced strength development.
This maximises muscle activation throughout the entire exercise and can lead to quicker strength gains.
This type of workout is ideal for muscle balance correction, and precision training due to their controlled speed and variable resistance.
Eccentric
Eccentric training focuses on the muscle lengthening phase of an exercise, such as lowering a weight in a controlled manner.
Because the muscles can handle greater loads during the eccentric action it is advantageous to be able to dynamically load more weight for this element of the movement. In this mode we automatically add what ever weight you have selected at the beginning to the eccentric movement during the exercise, giving you even greater benefits.
Rowing
The rowing motion is simulated digitally applyng greater resistance as more effort is exerted to go faster. Unlike Isokinetic you can move faster with increased effort as you woul in a real life situation.
Rowing can be a great aerobic exercise with it's low- impact nature reducing stress on joints while providing a full-body workout that enhances cardiovascular health, strength, and endurance.
