CentriForce™ Stability Bars provide Dynamic Force Resistance™ for true 3D spine and core stabilization training.
Stability Bars work by creating variable inertia forces from freely-moving weight in the load chamber, resulting in Continuous Center of Gravity Challenges™, naturally activating the deep core, spinal stabilizers, and functional drive. All bars are light-load to promote endurance.
CentriForce™ provides you with a new range of resistance variables for more diverse control and challenge over the training experience:
Length:Bar length provides control over resistance by modifying leverage.Longer Bars have higher leverage and provide increased force over shorter bars.
Weight:Bars come in varying weights.Weight is contained inside the load cell and remains freely movable to produce Dynamic Force Resistance™. Long Bars come in 4 weight ranges; Short Bars in 3 weight ranges, and SuperShort Bars in one weight. Weights are numbered from lightest (#1) to heaviest (#3). All Bars weigh less than 5-7 lbs static weight to preserve control and endurance training effect.
Weight + Length: The combination of weight (resistance) and length (leverage) magnifies the overall load resistance. Increasing leverage (longer bars) makes light weight feel more challenging.
Bar Selection:Clinical and Home Programs target mostly Long Bar use to provide maximum training range.Use the Bar Selection Guide (pg. 55) to help choose the right bar.
CentriForce™ provides a range of Dynamic Force Resistance™ to suit user ability – from petite to high strength ability. The lower the number, the lighter the resistance. All Bars weigh between 5-9 lbs only, but with the Dynamic Force Resistance™ and grip changes, resistance can feel surprisingly heavy.
Remember — when selecting a Bar or multiple Bars to use, the goal of CentriForce™ is to train control, endurance, agility and power – not raw strength.
Long Bars: Bars are 4′ long for the widest leverage and force diversity, and with 4 Dynamic Force Resistance™ levels in the Long Bar family. The X-treme Bar level is for very strong people or maximum athletic control challenge.
Short Bars: Bars are 3′ long for the reduced leverage and force diversity, which would be appropriate for seniors, people with troubles shoulders, or those with greater upper body weakness There are 3 Dynamic Force Resistance™ levels in the Short Bar family.
