Fremont, CA – AlterG, sports and medical technology creator of AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmills®, today announced a new generation of technology in the Pro 200+ with Stride Smart. Powerful features including a new user interface, automated workout programming, and video monitoring enhance the user experience and help athletic trainers and clinicians amplify training and rehabilitation for athletes and patients alike.
AlterG’s Pro 200+ uses NASA’s innovative differential air-pressure technology to unweight treadmill users and reduce gravitational impact allowing them to rehabilitate with less pain, reduced risk of further injury, and to maintain, or even gain, fitness while they recover. Users can achieve up to 80% reduction of full body weight, adjustable in as little as 1% increments, providing a truly unparalleled rehab experience.
The new Pro 200+, the next generation of AlterG’s most advanced technology, is a game-changer for trainers, empowering them to achieve more in their time with athletes, by automating custom workouts, motivating them with objective data, and providing visual insights into gait mechanics they may not be able to feel.
Pro 200+ Workout Programmer (feature of Pro 200+)
The Workout Programmer is designed to act as the trainers’ “extra set of hands” in the training room, allowing them to build customized, detailed rehab and training programs that automate athletes’ workouts. An integrated touch-screen and web interface make it easy to build tailored programs for each athlete’s unique needs.
Pro 200+ Stride Smart
Stride Smart video monitoring and recording provides athletes powerful visual insights into gait mechanics they may be unable to feel. Front, lateral and rear camera angles provide real time feedback as well as the ability to record 10-second clips to playback in regular and slow motion. Video clips can also be emailed or exported, along with an end of session summary report, allowing trainers to save workout data and improve tracking of athlete progress.
“We’re excited to deliver the next generation of anti-gravity technology with powerful new features for the trainers and clinicians looking to provide the gold standard in training and recovery for their athletes,” said Gabriel Griego, vice president of marketing and clinical for AlterG. “These new tools help trainers achieve more with athletes in their limited time, while providing athletes with objective feedback to enhance their training and recovery. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
Pro 200+ with Stride Smart demonstrations are available now. The new user interface and Stride Smart can be retrofitted to any existing Pro 200 AlterG model. For more information on purchasing or upgrading an AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill contact AlterG.com.
