Loose up to 80% of your weight at the push of a button - The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill®

by Editor
Monday 16th January 2012

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill was exhibited at the 2012 London Bike Show at ExCeL, and we've created this video to explain how this ground breaking treadmill can help athletes

  • Strengthens and improves coordination of muscles, which in turn protects surrounding joints
  • Promotes the full range of motion while minimizing stress during athletic conditioning
  • Enables injured athletes to maximize their fitness retention as they recover

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill® generates a powerful lifting force using Advanced Differential Air Pressure Technology (ADAPT). The athlete wears neoprene shorts and zips into a pressurized, airtight enclosure which calibrates to their exact body weight. With an easy to use control panel the athlete can change his/her weight, reducing it by as much as 80% in precise 1% increments.

Trainers and coaches have found the Alter-G to be an ground-breaking training tool that is changing how athletes train and injured people recover free of interference from water or tethers which transitions seamlessly back to full weight bearing during sports rehabilitation training programs. Until now, there has not been an effective means for athletes to preserve high fitness levels while they are injured. The Alter-G permits injured athletes to reach the aerobic intensity of their regular workouts while lowering the impact on their injured body during training.

Alter-G’s performance treadmill is a highly effective athletic conditioning tool for both recreational and competitive athletes by allowing the user to train longer, run faster, gain additional strength, and enhance cardiovascular performance while minimizing impact and stress on their joints.
