Research Grade Testing, Training And Rehabilitation
1080 Quantum is a sophisticated system for performance training, testing, rehabilitation and research. Validated by scientists in professional sports training, the system is proven to be more effective than traditional methods.
The power lies in our patented technology where resistance level, mode and speed are provided by an electric motor. This creates a unique ability to safely and independently control resistance and speed in the concentric and eccentric phase while measuring force and power throughout the movement. Training modality and intensity can therefore be optimized to the individual athlete and movement pattern. All controls are accessed and operated via a user friendly touch screen interface.
The ability to test and train while at the same time document and get real-time feedback on physical output, is invaluable for any trainer or health care professional when implementing a training or rehabilitation program.
1080 QUANTUM Overview
Unparalleled versatility and accuracy for evaluating and developing force, speed, power and acceleration.
A wide range of functional tests and exercises can be performed with 1080 Quantum. The adjustable arm with a 5 meter cable ensures the optimal loading angle for any movement pattern. Load the athlete vertically, horizontally or diagonally using grips, belts, vests or other attachments. Provide the optimal resistance in traditional exercises or create scenarios tailored to specific sports or rehabilitation needs.
Customized Resistance
Why settle for one type of resistance when you can have it all in one device? Quantum offers the following resistance types for testing and training in both the concentric and eccentric phase of any movement:
- Isoinertial – emulated normal weight stack resistance
- Isotonic- constant resistance
- Isokinetic- constant speed for optimal force development and time under tension
- Variable inertia – resistance and inertia when you need it. Also known as “No Flying Weight” mode for optimal power training at high velocities.
- Vibration – different amplitudes at 25 Hz for neuromuscular stimulation.
Customize Load And Speed To The Different Phases Of Exercises
Set resistance and speed independently in the concentric and eccentric phase.
Allows for true eccentric overloading superior to flywheels and other static mass options.
Eccentric boost – high loads in the eccentric phase. Permits safe supra-maximal eccentric contractions.
It’s All About Power
Power quantifies the interaction between force and speed. This relationship is the key to any type of physical performance. This basic concept has been recognized for decades since physiologist A. Hill was awarded the Nobel Prize for this fundamental discovery.
1080 Quantum is the only system of its kind where both speed and resistance can be instantly and dynamically controlled within a single repetition. The implication is that Hill’s force-velocity principle can for the first time be applied to it’s full extent in testing, training and rehabilitation. This capability opens a new paradigm for training effectiveness, precision and individualization.
Data Output
Real time measurements of force, velocity, power and acceleration, over distance or time, are provided at 333 Hz sampling rate.
The reporting options allow training and rehabilitation analysis on the touch screen as well as in the 1080 WebApplication. The high resolution information enables objective decision making and a more personalized attention to the individual needs of the athlete or patient.
The data exports easily for those wanting research grade analysis or can be integrated with an Athlete Management Systems. The software is easy to use, coaching friendly, and efficient in group settings.
