"These
findings will have significant impact at every level of physical conditioning,
whether in high school, college, professional team sports medicine, or fitness
programs.
Super
Circuit will help move participants through their conditioning program faster,
with greater overall conditioning effectiveness. And, it will provide much of
the needed aerobic conditioning for their particular sports without subjecting
their bodies to lifting very heavy weights or jogging great distances in a running
program.
This was the fifth
study Dr. Larry Gettman, Ph.D.Paul Ward, Ph.D. and R.D. Hagan Ph.D. had undertaken
to examine the cardiorespiratory aspects of isokinetic and isotonic weight training
It lasted twelve weeks and consisted of 36 female sand 41 males reflecting the
average condition of normally active people. The difference between the Super
Circuit group and the control group was that those who participated in the Super
Circuit rebounded for 30 seconds in between each of the circuit weight training
stations.
These Super Circuit
aerobic results are the highest ever reported in circuit weight training scientific
literature...But the Super Circuit has other advantages, too. There is less
skeletal shock and joint stress..., plus, strength gains showed a 25% improvement
over the standard circuit weight training!
