Introducing the Pacer Treadmill Software System

Innervations has developed the Pacer Treadmill Software for the latest athlete powered treadmill from Woodway.  The combination of state of the art non-motorized treadmill with powerful Windows software provides a testing and training system with stunning capabilities.  The system is fully programmable and programs can be saved and recalled at will.  This permits development of very specific continuous and interval training protocols which mimic the target sport.  The Pacer function allows athletes and coaches to save a particular run and then call it up later to act as a pacer.  This means the athlete can "race" themselves, or at least their performance from say 6 months previously. A tachometer mounted on the treadmill drum continuously records distance traveled.  From this continuous velocity time data is calculated.  A horizontally mounted force transducer permits measurement of propulsive force.  Combining distance, velocity and force data actual horizontal work done and power output are calculated.  Vertically mounted force transducers record the vertical force applied to the treadmill bed.

Trial endpoints can be set for time, distance, speed or work.  For example, a target distance of 100 meters can be set and then the athlete sprints over this distance and the data collection will finish at the 100 meter mark.  Both Metric and English units of measurement are provided. The Force models 3 and 4 contain a magnetic particle brake providing smooth resistance that the athlete works against.  This can be controlled from 0 to 57 kg (125lbs) by either adjusting the brake setting from the software interface or automatically changing according to your program designs.  Program designer is used to specify an almost unlimited series of stages.  The duration, target speed, braking load, a visible prompt, and even a spoken command in the form of a sound file can be specified.

Performance Force Plate

Announcing a entirely new product for athlete performance testing - the Performance Force Plate from Fitness Technology.

• force output
• power output
• maximum rate of force development
• maximum dynamic strength
• jump height
• flight to contact ratio
• impulse
• velocity

Ballistic Measurement System - USB Version

Accurately measures the movement of the athlete, barbells, or weight machines. Velocity, acceleration, force and power are all calculated. The program can also analyze the data collected to display peak force, power, and velocity, jump height, and rate of force development. This system provides audio feedback in real-time to the athlete or patient.  Simply set a threshold value on say peak velocity, and the athlete begins the set of exercise.  When a repetition is completed which exceeds the threshold a positive tone is heard. When they miss the target threshold a negative tone is heard. Click here to watch a video example for either jump squats or bench throws. 

Easy installation!  Simply plug into the USB port of any computer running Windows ME/2000/XP and you are ready to test and train using the latest technology.
