MUSCULAR RESEARCH LABORATORY

Relax Gym considers very important to invest in the field of high-level-research, both in the electrostimulators' electronic components, than for what concerns the physiologic/muscular aspect. In fact, in order to win quality challenge, in addiction to the collaboration with the Unit of Biomechanics of the University of Clermont-Ferrand, it has been decided to realize a Laboratory inside the company itself, for the Search on the Muscle. This "temple" of the muscular appraisal and athletic preparation has been equipped so as to be able to carry out rigorous and scientifically-based tests in order to estimate exactly and in inconfutable way the results that electrostimulation can offer. Therefore, Relax Gym has an endowed atmosphere of machinery of the most advanced technology that allows us to execute test and appraisals on professional athletes and on persons who are in need of aesthetic or phisiotherapeutic treatments. The information that turn out from these experiments help us more and more to develop a new product really effective from the physiological point of view and really effective on the concrete problems of our customers.

The Laboratory of Muscular Search is directed from professor Marco Baruffato, professional athletic coach. Graduated at ISEF (Advanced Institute in Physical Education) in 1989, from then he has always worked in the field of athletic preparation in several specific disciplines and has also carried out courses on electrostimulation and the appraisal of physical performances with professional athletic tests. He has also achieved the diploma of athletic coach in 1995 at Coverciano (national centre of Italian Soccer Federation). Today professor Baruffato himself takes care of the appraisal systems and of the rehabilitation procedures that are carried out in Relax Gym Laboratory, using instruments of most advanced technology such as BIODEX machine and pneumatic ERGOVISION LINE - AIR MACHINE.

Isocinetic machinery BIODEX System is an apparatus of the most advanced technology that, thanks to a dynanometer connected to a processor, allows the appraisal of the force showed from every muscle of the human body in objective and inconfutable way. That allows the precise appraisal of the progresses obtained with electrostimulation treatments, thanks to clear and complete reports. Poured and reliable, it moreover allows to carry out rehabilitation of the apparatus skeletal muscle.

The equipments for the appraisal and the recovery work AIR MACHINE "ERGOVISION LINENS" are equipped with an innovative pneumatic system in which the resistance is not given from the weights (like traditional machines), but from a compressed air system that allows to execute the exercises without undesired sollicitations due to the gravitational and inertial forces. Thanks to these machines it is possible to obtain the maximum rendering work with safety and is also possible to estimate exacly the execution speed of the exercises. The machines present in our laboratory are: POLIERCOLINA, LAT PULLDOWN, SHOULDER PRESS, LEG PRESS, VERTICAL BENCH PRESS, LEG CURL, LEG EXTENSION.
