Power is the combination of raw strength and speed of motion. If either is lacking, the athlete is doomed to mediocrity. With an abundance of both, the athlete knows no limits.

Our hip, thigh, and calf muscles have the ability to contract and extend in a small fraction of a second. In fact, they are forced to do so (in a simultaneous, coordinated fashion) whenever we choose to run or jump. Weight training may make these muscles contract harder, but it does little to condition their contractile speed.

For this reason, the Plyo-Sled was created. It allows athletes to easily add power-enhancing plyometric exercises to their training programs.

If you think of plyometrics in terms of stacks of dangerously wobbly boxes, think again! The Plyo-Sled supports the athlete's body completely, and is fully adjustable, but the Plyo-Sled uses only slightly more floor space than a conventional leg press!

The Plyo-Sled's eight selectable elastic bands provide resistive forces ranging from a low of 30 pounds to a high of nearly 560 pounds. This fast acting resistance, coupled with a silent, frictionless glide system, makes the Plyo-Sled the ultimate machine for developing explosive leg power!
