FREESTYLER™

Introduction to theFREESTYLER & FUNCTIONAL DYNAMICS

The FREESTYLER is a modern exercise platform that makes very different and interesting workouts possibilities.

The Freestyler has been extensively studied and researched for over 3 years and integrates the latest scientific achievements.

The result is a highly methodical, systematic and logical exercise system.

This exercise system is unique because it combines progressive

resistance with multi-axis movements to simulate natural human

movements.

Because this device enables completely free and natural movements on all

levels, we named it the FREESTYLER.

Different programs enable various uses of the FREESTYLER device and make it an ideal choice in many wellness programs.DEVICE CAN BE USED:• in existing sport training regimes,• in pre-choreographed group fitness to music,• in advanced rehabilitation after an injury,• in enhancing the benefits of Pilates techniques,• as the smallest home gym in the world, it provides

countless exercise options.

Everyday natural motion demands movement in all directions. The exercises that force us to make simple movements are less effective and less useful. In single-axis movements certain muscles may become strong but there is a lack of coordination.

“The key to functional exercise is integration. It’s about teaching all the muscles to work together rather

than isolating them to work independently.“(Roskopf, 2005)

INTRODUCTION TO THE FUNCTIONAL DYNAMICS™

MAIN FEATURES OF FUNCTIONAL DYNAMICS™ :

• THREE DIMENSIONAL NATURAL AND FUNCTIONALMULTI-AXIS MOVEMENTS

• DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSCULAR CONTRACTION• CONTINUOUS EXERCISE FLOW (BODY FLOW)• ASSURED MUSCLE BALANCE• MAXIMUM RANGE OF MOTION • CORE STABILITY • PROPRIOCEPTIVE WORKOUT • VISUALISATION TECHNIQUES

FUNCTIONALITYAbility to respond to specific demands...

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING IS RELATIVE TO:• AIMS (rehabilitation, strength, sport specific)

• SUBJECT (athletes, children, elderly…)

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING“Integrated, multi-planar movements that involve joint acceleration, stabilization, and deceleration, with the intent of improving movement ability, core strength, and neuromuscular efficiency.” (Bryant, 2005)

“Functional training is training that stimulates our bodies to move in the way it is naturally engineered”(NASM)

“Movements or exercises that improve one’s ability to complete their ADLs with greater efficiency and effectiveness.” (ACE)

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING

• Training to improve functional strength involves more than simply increasing the force-producing capability of a muscle or group of muscles. Rather, it requires training to enhance the coordinated working relationship between the nervous and muscular systems. (Bryant, 2005)

• The key to functional exercise is integration. It's about teaching all the muscles to work together rather than isolating them to work independently.“ (Roskopf, 2005)

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING

PRIMARY GOALS OF FUNCTIONAL TRAINING

“..the primary goal of functional training is to transfer the improvements achieved in one movement to enhancing the performance of another movement by affecting the entire neuromuscular system.”

“In functional training, it is as critical to train the specific movement as it is to train the muscles involved in the movement. The brain, which controls muscular movement, thinks in terms of whole motions, not individual muscles.”

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING

Features • Multi-planar

• Lumbo pelvic stabilization (Core Muscles)

• Motor Coordination

• Neuromuscular Efficiency

• Transfer Effect

• Kinetic Chains (“integration not isolation”)

Traditional Strength Training

• Isolation

• Seating or lying

• % 1RM Maximal Strength

• Lack of Neuromuscular Stimuli

• Guided movements

• Cammes

Functional Training

• Integration

• Standing or unstable surfaces

• No 1RM – aim and subject-specific

• High Neuromuscular Stimuli

• Free movement

• Coordination

BASIC EXERCISES ON THE FREESTYLER

Basic exercises on the Freestyler are mainly derived from single axis movements,

combined movements according to functional anatomy.

We consider this as basics for all further Functional dynamics multiaxis movement

patterns.

Exercises are organised according to body parts and

movements of the joints.

FREESTYLER

EXERCISES MOVEMENTSActions where both, muscles and planes of movements, are easy to define. Traditional exercise with a higher or lower level of stabilization required.

Actions where more muscles and plane of movements are involved. Combination of upper and lower limbs movements or complex core movements.

Functional training has its origins in rehabilitation.

Physical therapists developed exercises that mimicked what patients did at home or work in order to return to their lives or jobs after an injury or surgery.Functional training mainly involves weight-bearing activities targeted at core muscles of the abdomen and lower back.

Most fitness facilities have a variety of weight training machines that target and isolate specific muscles. As a result the movements do not necessarily bear any relationship to the movements people make in their regular activities or sports.

Functional training attempts to adapt or develop exercises that allow individuals to perform the activities of daily life more easily and without injuries.

THE ADVANTAGES OF

FREESTYLER&

FUNCTIONAL DYNAMICS

•ENABLED PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE(seven pairs of elastic bands of different strength)

• OPTIMAL ELONGATION RANGE(Freestyler’s unique system of hyperboloid rollers distributes force evenly – 25 - 250%)

• ELASTIC RESISTANCE WITH NO INERTIA(because elastic tubes have no inertia they are safe and easy to use)

• ENDLESS EXERCISE AND FUTURE WORKOUT POSSIBILITIES (over 1000 exercises which will continually challenge your body and bring results)

• INCREASED MUSCULAR INERVATION (employed prime movers with supporting muscle groups for increased muscle innervation)

• ENCHANCED CARDIO RESPONSE (unique resistance with thought full exercise promote increased peripheral blood flow)

Advantages of FUNCTIONAL DYNAMICS:• 3D NATURAL & FUNCIONAL MULTI – AXIS MOVEMENTS

(Freestyler allows exercising using natural body movements)

• ASSURED MUSCLE BALANCE (all choreographies in the freestyler exercise system assure balanced muscle strength)

• VISUALISATION TECHNIQUES (it gives an instructor a methodological tool for enhancing the technique)

• CORE STABILITY (core stability training recruits the trunk musculature and teaches how to control the body)

• DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSCULAR CONTRACTION (elastic resistance ensure the balance between concentric and eccentric contractions)

• MAXIMUM RANGE OF MOTION (maximum ROM allows you to achieve maximum muscle activation and strength gains)

• SYNCHRONIZED WHOLE BODY WORKOUT(teaching all the muscles to work together rather than isolating them to work independently)

• CONTINUOUS EXERCISE FLOW(you can progress from one exercise to another, which assures continuous workout intensity)

• BASIC TRAINING PRINCIPLES(seven training principles are incorporated in all workout programs – Overload – Regeneration - Specificity – Change – Individuality - Periodisation - Planning principle)

• PROPRIOCEPTIVE WORKOUT(promotion of proprioception and kinesthetic awarness in all workout programs)
