Aquabilt has developed a program for triathletes which has considerable benefits for other active individuals with very tight time schedules.
Triathlon training has become a part of the lives of nearly 100,000 Americans. Even amateur triathletes will train from 15 up to 30 hours per week in an effort to maximize their performance in each of the three Triathlon disciplines: swimming, cycling, and running. Three of the key factors that comprise a successful training program for this type of event are the hours of quality effort invested, the maximum recovery benefit obtained between training sessions, and remaining injury-free.
One alternative course of training which can achieve all three is Cross Training with Aquatic Exercise Equipment. The use of a high quality, non-motorized Aquatic Treadmill will greatly reduce the amount of time required to produce the same benefit from land-based training.
Very few athletes are able to devote equal training time to each discipline because they are stronger in one or two than the third, and need to devote additional time to that weaker area. However, doing that takes valuable hours away from another discipline, which can then suffer. One solution to this is Aquatic Training with specialized equipment.
Benefits include:
- Because training in water produces 12 times more resistance than training in air (on land), the time required to achieve equal benefit is greatly reduced.
- Simultaneously, the buoyancy obtained training in water greatly reduces stress and impact on joints, bones, and muscles. This benefit not only reduces the likelihood of injury, but also reduces the recovery time required between training sessions.
- In addition, the subsequent session is of higher quality because the lingering fatigue factor and discomfort level caused by the previous session is greatly reduced.
