The treadmill Alter G is made with a technology originally developed by NASA, which allows exercise without gravity, reducing our body weight up to 80%. This weight reduction isadvantageous in several respects.
- Injury recovery and improvement of sports training. On one side, for those athletes who want to retrain quickly after injury. By reducing theweight of the athlete the impact force is reduced and with the control panel, the exact weightat which the athlete does not feel pain and can train can be calibrated. This allows aprogressive and much faster return to the competition. On the other side it is also useful toweigh and balance training load for those athletes who do not suffer from injuries.
- Rehabilitation programs. In general traumatology and orthopedic functional rehabilitation, it can also be used forpatients who are not athletes, in order to improve the recovery process after suffering an injuryor undergoing surgery.
- Weight loss. Also in weight loss programs. It allows people with obesity problems to run and lose weightnaturally. These patients have many problems when exercising due to their own weight. WithAlter G they can run from the first day, experiencing how they will be able to move when theyreach their target weight.
- Patients with neurological disease. Another function of the treadmill Alter G is its role in rehabilitation and conditioning programsfor people with neurological diseases. It allows maintenance or gradual improvement ofstrength and coordination in patients who suffer or have suffered diseases such as a stroke orParkinson's.
- Fitness for the elderly. Finally, training on the treadmill Alter G can also improve the functional capacity of theelderly, who find difficulties to exercise regularly. Reduced gravity allows these persons toperform physical activity continuously for longer periods of time, improving cardiac capacity.
