Note: This University of Southern Mississipp's Human Strength and Performance Laboratory Study was done on the highest resistance setting of 4. We at Power Pull believe in keeping the proper mechanics and going up much higher in resistance to build power which translates into speed.
Shocking the System for Speed!
The Power Pull allows the athlete to strengthen leg muscle while performing the same neurological muscle contraction and relaxation patterns that are used during sprinting.
In shocking an athlete with continuous resistance at heavy load settings, the athlete's muscle memory shows explosive power from this workout. The correct form and mechanics
must be used with this drill, which is power drive.
The Constant Resistance Machine:
If you want to experience a level of conditioning you have never seen before, the Power pull will take you there. By following the Power
Pull workout program, you can reach this level of conditioning. This is the key to constant resistance. The explosive starts and conditioning
that are achieved by using the Power Pull are shown by the results of the sprint, whether it be a 10 yard dash or a mile run. The Power Pull is for male and female athletes.
A critical tool to measure conditioning.
1. Know your athlete's condition by using it.
2. Teach your athlete explosive starts.
This leads to:
A. Conditioning
B. Speed
C. Power
D. Muscle Memory
E. Injury Prevention
F. Rehabilitation: quicker recovery time
G. Increased team speed in male and female athletes.
