3. POWER LOADING
To emphasize high-speed power during LVRT™ especially during impact movements such as kicks,
punches and strikes DISTAL LOADING is recommended with the belly of the load near the point
of impact. In these cases be sure your EXOGEN® straps are fully tightened to reduce the chance
of slippage
4. SPEED LOADING
To emphasize rotational joint speed and/or linear movement speed, PROXIMAL LOADING is
recommended with the belly of the LOADs closer to the proximal point. In these cases, be sure
your EXOGEN® straps are fully tightened to reduce the chance of slippage
5. ENDURANCE LOADING
LOADING to increase the intensity of general endurance training is best done on a comfortable
position / orientation on your exoskeleton to reduce the need to re-adjust the weight once you
have started. You do not want to be adjusting a load once you’ve started training that interferes
with your cyclic motion because it feels in the wrong place during a long run, ride or swim.
6. STRENGTH LOADING
For greater strength adaptation more than 10% of bodyweight can be applied when wearing the
full body suit. To maximize total load placement on your exoskeleton place the loads using the
ALTERNATE LOADING.
7. BODY PART TONING
Though controversy surrounds the topic of ‘spot reducing,’ spot-toning is highly achievable by
loading the specific muscles or body parts desired while performing the correct movements that
they control. To target a specific muscle, muscle group or body part, simply load the body over
and around that area. The enhanced proprioception and additional resistance will both help to
improve the muscle activity of that body part.
