The Story
ATX was founded in 2002 based
on a simple proposition: “One size fits all” isn’t true for athletic equipment,
and it sure isn’t true for athletes, either.
In fact, every sport places specific
demands on an athlete, a unique profile that ATX calls a PHYSIOLOGICAL
FINGERPRINT™.
Using that profile – studying athletes
and working with trainers – we apply a proprietary, patent-pending ATX
process called FUNCTIONAL PHYSIOMICS™ to create our unique Super
Multi formulas.
In 2002 ATX developed formulas for
boxing, martial arts and combative sports that were hailed by managers
and fighters alike as “impressive” and “worthwhile investments,” used by
among others a champion kick boxer, an Ultimate Fighting legend, and one
of the leading boxing trainers in the USA.
We followed those products with a
football formula in 2003 that has delivered record breaking performances
by several athletes at the 2004 NFL Combine*.
As the future approaches, ATX's scientists
are developing Super Multi supplements for more sports.

Sport-Engineered Athlete Nutrition
Makes a Difference. http://www.prweb.com
Metuchen NJ (PRWEB) January 12,
2006 -- Two promising professional football players – Tad Kornegay
and Aki Jones – made the grade this past season using a regimen that included
ATX Athlete Nutrition Technology formulas, while training exclusively with
TEST Sports Clubs in Martinsville, NJ.
Prior to training, Tad and Aki met
with the TEST nutritionist who put the athletes on a specialized diet plan.
Starting four weeks before Pro Day, they took ATX’s “Zone 5” formula thirty-forty
minutes prior to each workout, and both athletes said that after the four
weeks of training they “couldn’t live without” their Zone 5.
Their stories:
Tad Kornegay, a native of Trenton,
New Jersey, is a true success story. As a junior in high school, he stood
5-feet-1 and weighed 130 pounds, soaking wet. Now he is 5-9 and 182 lbs.
Tad is an extremely hard-working athlete with a huge heart who always says
“I want to work hard so I can give my mom a safer place to live.” Tad came
out of Fordham University and made the starting lineup for the Hamilton
Tiger-Cats of the CFL.
Aki Jones grew up in Bronx, New York
and turned a tough background into a success story. Jones attended Christ
the King High School in New York where he earned All-League, All-City,
and All-Queens recognition in football. After graduating high school, Aki
spent a year at Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts, then was
admitted to Fordham University were he was a football standout and starter
for all four years. Through his career at Fordham, Jones earned many honors
including Second Team All-Patriots League (2004), team high sacks (senior
year), second in sacks (junior and senior year), along with a degree in
marketing and advertising. In addition to his athletic and academic accomplishments,
Jones gave back to his community by taking part in Special Olympics. Aki
landed a spot on this year’s Washington Redskins team.
Both athletes trained Monday through
Friday over a ten-week period, as follows:
• Monday: Upper
body lifts
• Tuesday: Linear
speed training
• Wednesday: Explosive
lifts, upper body lifts
• Thursday: Multi-directional
speed training
• Friday: Skill
training, positing work, critique of Combine events
TAD: With the help of the
TEST coaches in conjunction with ATX Zone 5, Tad was able to show significant
improvements:
• 40 yard dash:
4.72 to 4.39 seconds
• Vertical leap:
33 to 37 inches
• Pro agility
drill: 4.44 to 3.82 seconds – best in pro circuit, 2005
• 3-cone drill:
6.92 to 6.52 seconds – top 5 in circuit
• Bench: 7 reps
to 17 reps
• Broad jump:
9 feet 1 to 10 feet
AKI: Aki attended the Washington
Redskins practice squad as a defensive tackle. ATX’s Zone 5 and TEST Sports
Clubs, Inc helped Aki reach his goal of making it into the NFL. On Sept,
22, 2005 Aki was activated to the 53 man roster for the Washington Redskins,
and his Combine results were a big reason:
• 40 yard dash:
5.43 to 5.01 seconds
• 10 yard dash:
1.92 to 1.68 seconds
• Pro agility
drill: 4.98 to 4.52 seconds
• Bench: 13 reps
to 22 reps
• Vertical leap:
27.5 to 31 inches
• Broad jump:
7.17 to 7.92 feet
• Body fat: 22
to 15%

THE SCIENCE OF ATX: FUNCTIONAL PHYSIOMICS™
Every sport has different physiological
consequences, depending on the muscles used, the type and quantity of physical
activity performed, and an athlete’s training status. For example,
distinct muscles are engaged (e.g., fast- versus slow-twitch muscle), and
differential affects are observed on blood and tissue oxygen levels, cardiac
output, muscle glycogen stores, blood serum metabolites, and many other
metabolic pathways. After an athlete has completed a performance,
the body’s physiological state will reflect the specific physical experience,
e.g., depletion of high-energy compounds from the muscles utilized in the
activity, local and systemic accumulation of metabolic by-products, and
injuries and other stress-related events associated with the activity.
Our fundamental insight is that each sport possesses a characteristic physiological
fingerprintTM that is specific for that sport, and substantially no other.
This fingerprint is a molecular and biochemical picture of an athlete’s
physiological state.
Our technology platform is a patent
pending process of designing nutritional supplements that target the specific
physiological needs associated with each sport. Ingredients are selected
to supplement the physiological pathways identified in the physiological
fingerprint™. For instance, the ingredients can be used to
enhance the pathways, or replenish them after the activity is performed.
In addition, ingredients can be selected to promote recovery and address
injuries that are common in the sport. The sum of the ingredients
is a selective nutritional supplement that, when administered to an athlete,
addresses the physiological concerns which are characteristic of the physical
activity (e.g., football, martial arts, running). We do this for
every sport, as well as for the gender of the participating athlete.
We call our process Functional Physiomics™ because it utilizes an
understanding of how an athlete’s physiology drives high performance physical
function.
Identifying the Physiological
Fingerprint™
A critical part of our development
process is to identify the precise physiological fingerprintTM that characterizes
each sport. We do this by researching the medical literature, and
consulting trainers and athletes to understand the specific problems and
issues (we call it the “performance phenotype”) encountered during, and
after, a physical performance. Next, using the scientific literature
and expertise of our nutritional development team, we establish a correspondence
between the exercise phenotype and the underlying physiological activity.
This process is used to establish the physiological fingerprint™
that becomes the target and guidance for developing our nutritional formula.
We create formula to enhance performance (“Pre-workout”), and to facilitate
repair and restore energy after a workout (“Recovery”).
Creating unique nutritional supplements
Using the unique the physiological
fingerprint™, our development team chooses nutritional ingredients
that pinpoint the precise areas that require nutrition and repair.
We target specific functional pathways and systems, and design formula
to precisely fit the qualitative and quantitative needs of an athlete engaged
in a specific sport. Since each sport has its unique fingerprint,
each corresponding supplement will have its own special combination of
nutritional ingredients that, together, provide superior quality and effective
sport nutrition. This is how we translate our scientific knowledge
of the body’s physiology into highly effective nutritional supplements.
In the “one size fits all” concept
of our competitors, nutritional supplements are formulated on the incorrect
belief that all sports are physiologically equivalent. They aren’t.
Our approach is different. We design supplements using scientific
principles. We use the physiological fingerprint™ to make
our formula sport and participant selective. We are so confident
in the novelty and efficacy of our approach that we have filed patent applications
on it.
We only use nutritional ingredients
that are scientifically proven
We recognize that, despite anecdotal
evidence for the effectiveness of nutritional ingredients, many have not
been scientifically tested in controlled clinical trials. To ensure
that all ingredients in our formula our effective, we carefully research
the scientific literature for evidence of efficacy and value, and only
use those that meet our stringent standards.
Our formulas are unique in providing
cofactors
Once we have identified a physiological
response, and an ingredient to supplement it, we look at the entire biochemical
pathway to determine how to achieve the best effect. For example,
other supplement companies use the amino acid tyrosine to enhance the synthesis
of norepinephrine, a chemical used in the so-called “fight-or-flight” response.
Increased availability of norepinephrine provides athletes with additional
and sustained energy levels. When we examined how the body utilizes
tyrosine to produce norepinephrine, we found that certain cofactors (e.g.,
folate) were necessary for it function property. In formulating our
supplement, we not only provide tyrosine, but we also add the cofactors.
This means that all the tyrosine is used by the body in the most efficient
way possible. |
