The Hyper Gravity
Effect:
Yielded up to 25% increase in vertical jump after just 3 weeks of training!
HYPERGRAVITY
The term Hypergravity training was
coined to describe a type of training where it gravity itself was simulated
to be stronger. Training in a heavier gravitational field would make
the body adjust by strengthening the lower body and leg muscles.
Weight Belts allow us to train in a simulated hyper gravity environment
and even gradually increase weight over time.

RESEARCH
Extensive research has been done
on male and female athletes using hypergravity training. showing
10-25% increase in maximum vertical jump height after just 3 weeks of training (Bosco,
1985, 1986), and a female study showed 11% increase over just 3.5% in the
control group(Sands, 1995). Athletes who did no specific jump training
still increased jumping ability by 10% after just 3 weeks(Bosco, 1985). |
TRAINING
In the past there have been many
methods of training with weighted belts. Athletes who are in shape
and exercise regularly have been known to go through a 3 week long training
program which involved wearing the weight belt all day long except when
sleeping. They increased each week from 8% to 10% to 12% of their
body weight. During the 3 weeks they do their regular training and
conditioning. This is recommended only for those athletes in superior
condition.
JUMP AND SPEED WORKOUT
Included with the HypergravityWeight
Belt is the JUMPUSA.com Jump and Speed workout. It is an 8 week program
that accomodates your body's needs as induced gravity increases.
Instead of pushing for 3 weeks as many have done(and can still be done
for quick results), we designed a program that will slowly increase strength
to create a more permanent foundation for long-term athleticism.
In addition to training, we stress the importance of wearing the Hypergravity
Weight belt for a few hours throughout the day.
HOW MUCH WEIGHT SHOULD I START
WITH?
It is recommended you start out
with 4 to 10 lb. and gradually increase weight while training with the
Hypergravity Weight Belt. The 20 lb. belt allows a gradual 2 lb.
increase from 4 to 20 lbs. that can help a steady increase in lower body
and leg strength. Gradually increasing allows the muscles to be trained
as to avoid putting strain on the body and maintain technique for running
and jumping. The 30 lb. belt allows a step-by-step 5 lb. increase
for maximum gains in power sports. The 20 lb. and 30 lb. weights
are goals that should be worked up to rather than put on the belt from
day one. Make sure your body is used to the weight before you begin
training.
WHAT IF I HAVE JUMPSOLES?
- The Weight Belt can be used as a perfect complement to Jumpsoles workouts.
It will accelerate gains and help you do gain even more inches to your
vertical.
