Optimizing muscle hypertrophy from resistance exercise requires eccentric muscle actions. Up-to-date, there is no other muscle exercise equipment than nHANCE™ – Driven by YoYo Technology™ that can offer an optimal resistance curve in eccentric musle actions, without any friction or sticking points. nHANCE™ exercise equipment utilize the moment of inertia produced by flywheel(s), instead of weights stacks, magnets, electricity or any other conventional solution. All nHANCE™ equipment are driven by the YoYo Technology™ – the original and patented innovation that has been validated by scientific studies in cooperation with renowned athletes and sports teams, coaches, physiotherapists and international research laboratories across the globe.

“With a sincere passion for sports and physical training, we set out more than 20 years ago to find the most effective method to build muscle and achieve good muscle health for all people. Today, our concept helps both amateur and pro athletes all around the world to reach their goals, by enhancing their performance or helping them recover from injuries. Their experiences confirm what our research and clinical tests have shown for decades; this technology is superior when it comes to rehabilitation and resistance training for speed, power and agility.”

Compared to nHANCE™ few, if any single piece of resistance exercise equipment has been so thoroughly scientifically validated by means of physiology and efficacy to build muscle and strength.

Over the last 20 years, and following the pioneer paper describing this flywheel inertial technology, a myriad of research publications have appeared in support of this resistance exercise method. Thus, nHANCE™ in-house R&D is supported by extensive research performed at academic entities around the world and published in prominent peer review journals.

Functional MRI was employed to study muscle use during nHANCE™ Leg Press exercise in strength athletes. In muscle cross-section images obtained soon after exercise, the extent of muscle use is inferred by increasingly lighter shading. Below are images at rest and immediately after five sets of ten reps of the Barbell Squat and the nHANCE™ Leg Press (Berg et al., 1993).

Studies conducting the nHANCE™ standard training formula of four sets of seven repetitions reported sensational results.
For example, men and women who trained nHANCE™ Knee Extension every third day, showed a rate of quadriceps hypertrophy never reported before. Perhaps even more stunning, subjects walking on crutches for five weeks yet took part in this training, showed a 9% increase in quadriceps muscle size (Tesch et al., 2004a; Tesch et al., 2004b; Norrbrand et al., 2008).

Resistance training for the elderly has become very popular, and is now an accepted important method of retarding age-induced muscle atrophy (“sarcopenia”). As a result, muscle dysfunction can be better preserved, and incidence of falls and hence risk of fractures reduced.

Short term resistance exercise programs using the nHANCE™ Knee Extension, is proven very effective to improve muscle function and increase muscle size in old men and women (Onambélé et al., 2008). Similarly, research in progress infer that stroke patients, showing compromised lower limb muscle function and atrophy, can benefit from nHANCE™ Leg Press training.
