BLACK FRIDAY - 35% OFF ALL EXOGEN
Exogen® wearable resistance comprises a base layer garment and Fusiform® micro-loads attached by hook and loop fastening.
This is the Fusiform® micro-load. It’s a weight. Ranging from 50g to 300g. These micro-loads provide the resistance for the Exogen® wearable system.
Designed to be flexible and the ultimate in customisation, you place the resistance exactly where you need it.
One elite male sprinter, with 100m time of 10.90s undertook a five-week intervention with Exogen wearable resistance, loading 2% body mass to the thighs. The athlete completed two to three sprint sessions per week.
5 male recreational runners (30-45 years) performed a testing session on a treadmill at the physiology laboratory of the National Sports Institute of Malaysia.
Resistance of 1.4% body weight was added to the participants via Exogen shorts and Exogen calf sleeves.
Increases in VO2 and calorie burn are evident.
20 Endurance trained runners performed 4 testing sessions on a treadmill in the laboratory with different body weight loads, using Exogen calf sleeves.
At just 2.5% additional body mass we see large increases in VO2 Max and heart rate.
9 recreational trained males performed two reps of the power clean at 50% and 70% of their 1-rep max, both normally, and then with partial load redistributed (5%, 12% body mass) from the bar to the posterior body via Exogen wearable resistance. The total weight remained the same.
10 highly-skilled female golfers performed two trials of 10 shots with a 3-iron club. The first series were unloaded, the second, loaded with a total of 3% body mass via Exogen Top and Exogen Shorts.
