Switching
The most effective way
to improve functional strength
Training in the standing position is the most positive and natural way to improve core strength, stability, flexibility and balance. Switching is the only training system that totally engages the body solicited actively and continuously. Intuitive, user friendly and easy adaptable to the physical needs of anybody, for this it does not require any specific assistance from an instructor. Extraordinary effectiveness.
Benefits
Why training in a sitting position if the standing one is more effective?
Switching delivers an overall body workout thanks to the more functional upright position, leading to an increased muscular involvement and higher caloric consumption. The result is more benefits to physical conditions and vitality, improving core strength, resistance, flexibility and balance.
Scientific tests
+100% energy expenditure
Over the same training time, a workout with Switching produces an increase of between 34 and 100% in energy expenditure compared with traditional training methods.
Energy consumption assessment test performed by analysing the oxygen consumed while exercising in a standing position, for men and women, showing an increase of from 6 to 10/12 METS and beyond.
+125% muscle activity
Standing workout involves 90% of muscles, with an increase of 125% compared to workouts in a sitting position.
Thermal imaging* of exercising on a traditional chest press (1) and on Switching (2): each temperature is associated with a colour ranging from blue to red, indicating the gradual increase in muscle areas involved.
-40% spinal load
In the standing position there is less strain on the spine, greater respect for the physiological curves and constant activation of the core to give greater stability and added back protection.
