TESTIMONIALS
“We are constantly investing in technology that makes sense for us and is easily integrated into our training process. In this regard both the Quantum and Sprint have been the best investments so far: it not just improves our training but also allows us to make better decisions as testing and training is merged into one smooth process. This is definitely the future in high performance sport.”
The 1080 sprint has been a great addition to my arsenal of tools to not only develop acceleration but also assess where my athletes are and what direction to take them. However, the possibilities of agility and overspeed work are endless. There is not a product on the market that comes close to the 1080 Sprint.
We find that the results we are able to get from the 1080 Quantum and MAP systems provide us with a unique window into understanding each of the athlete’s individual biomechanics strength and weaknesses. We can then use these systems to be able to train these weaknesses out and to improve on the strength that they already have. It provides a really unique and adaptable way to improve performance.
The sensitivity and control in the 1080 Quantum is a perfect tool to progress a patient from a painful state to gradually increased function and strength. This precision has shortened average rehabilitation times for my patients. The Quantum data allows me to share objective results on progression with each client whether it’s an athlete or patient in my corporate wellness program.
“As a young coach, I am always looking for every edge, and when I did my research on this product and got feedback from some of the coaches I respect in this business, I had to have it. My sprinters are addicted to the way it feels to achieve the speeds the 1080 Sprint allows them to. My athletes continue to love this machine, and two of them just made the Rio Olympic team.”
The 1080 Sprint is letting us push our bodies beyond what we would normally be able to do. We have women running over 11 meters per second and men running beyond world record phase. It’s doing things that we need to do to get their bodies used to running at the phase of world finalists and medalists.
