FT700 Power Cage - Multi-Exercise Station
See below for a short video of AFL Players at West Coast Eagles using their Fitness Technology FT700 3.42 Metre High Power Cage with Magnetic Brake Unit.
Note the 2 new optional accessory stations in use:
• Chinning Bar - can be height set for even the tallest players in the squad without having to bend their knees whilst chinning. Height adjustments are in 70mm / 3'' increments on the 3 Metre high Uprights
• Taper shaped Dips Bar - improves biomechanics - fits every player without any upper arm gap to the torso. Parallel Dips Bars do not cater for players of different torso widths.
Also in use simultaneously:
• Internal Work Area with safety bars and Barbell hooks
• External Work Area with safety bars and Barbell hooks
• All the above applications have 30 x fast snap lock fully adjustable height locking positions in 70mm increments along the 3M High columns
.
Major 'Multi Station FT700' advantages based on professional feedback:
• Total footprint area is 2.98 L x 1.25 W = 3.73 Square Metres
• Total required floor space work area is a maximum of 3.58 L x 4.24 W = 15.18 Square Metres (3.8 Sq M / player on this set up)
• Significantly improves the training time efficiency within the gym for all players - it cuts down waiting time with squads. Hence time on the floor /session is reduced
• Significantly saves on gym floor space area
The FT700 History
• The FT700 was initially designed to enable the Magnetic Braking Unit (MBU) and the PT5A Position Transducer to sit on it; to achieve set concentric exercise loads with set eccentric braking loads with the results auto recorded via the BMS Software onto an Excel Spreadsheet
• The FT700 further evolved from listening to the functions the professional Strength and Conditioning Coaches would like from a Power Cage.
• Recently the Fitness Technology 400 Series Performance Force Plate has been added to the System to record the Force being produced through feet of the athlete; this data is also auto recorded
• The ongoing feedback is producing a Power Cage to meet the present and future specific demands of the professional Strength and Conditioning Coaches
The FT700 accessories
• The adjustable Height, Chinning Bar, Dips Bar was the result of this feedback
• Like the Internal and External Work Areas, the Chinning Bar and Dips Bar on the 3 M High work area uprights also have 30 x adjustable height positions in increments of 70mm (3'')
• The FT700 meets the working requirements of all athlete heights
• The FT700 is a dynamic Power Cage: Coaches purchasing it can look forward to more attachments becoming available, as the feedback results in producing more exercise features
