3. Internal Mechanical Loading
(IML)©
Internal Mechanical Loading© defines the very unique
proprioceptive experience when combining LVRT™ with
our wearable resistance EXOGEN® and Fusiform Loads™.
This system blends and disperses resistance over the
entire body or body part so there isn’t a focal point for the
load like traditional resistance equipment.
We call this internal loading because the user does not
perceive the load as external but rather as inside or part
of the body. This is in contrast to traditional training
equipment where the user is very aware, they are using
external equipment. Large external loads that the user is
very aware of stimulate proprioceptors to automatically
trigger protective mechanisms that will change the
movement profile in to reduce the chance of injury. This
often results in restrictions on movement that are often
counterproductive to ones desired activity.
With its ability to progressively apply light anatomical weights almost anywhere on the body,
EXOGEN
™
’s ability to transfer resistance training to actual human performance is immediate
and un-paralled.
