Flywheel training
Flywheel training is a type of
weight training
.
In contrast to weight training, flywheel training offers variable resistance throughout the
History
An early scientific research paper on flywheel training was conducted by researchers Hansen and Lindhard at the University of Copenhagen in 1924 and looked at the maximum realizable work of the elbow flexors.[3][4]
After that, flywheel resistance training was studied in
ESA. Since then, flywheel training has been studied in different populations like youth[7][8][9][10] and professional athletes,[11][12][13] as well as older adults.[14][15][16][17]
Current evidence suggests that flywheel training-based training is superior to gravity-based training for increasing muscle strength, power, and hypertrophy.[18][19][20]
Flywheel training was commercialized in the 2010s by Exxentric and others, and has since gained wide-spread adoption in professional sports.[21]
