| I suppose the question that needs to be answered first off is does the machine somehow create an environment in which the muscles must perform work?
That's always the basic question of exercise -- how do I make the muscles do work? Work can come in the form of intense resistance like weight training or work can come in the form of prolonged lighter resistance making aerobic demands and bringing muscular endurance into play.
Will this machine make the muscles sufficiently stressed that some sort of microtrauma occurs where in the subsequent recovery period muscular fiber is rebuilt to handle the demands of the workload? |
