If you’re over 40 and looking for exercise to prioritise, strength training takes the cake. Re-activating or maintaining muscle strength is the foundation for staying active and injury-free as you age.
After 40, muscle loss (sarcopenia) starts to creep in, leading to weaker bones, slower metabolism, loss of function and increased risk of falls.
Strength training counteracts this by preserving lean muscle, improving bone density and keeping joints healthy. It also enhances balance, which reduces the risk of injury.
Strength training also boosts metabolism (helping with weight management), enhances insulin sensitivity (reducing diabetes risk), and even improves mental health.
The bottom line is: strength training is about staying functional and resilient for life. And the best part? With more sophisticated training devices and technology, you won’t need to spend hours in a sweaty gym.
How getback exercise devices use isoinertial loading
getback™ exercise devices use isoinertial loading to safely and effectively strengthen muscles supporting the spine, *hip, knee and shoulder. The devices adapt load to the user’s strength in real time to improve muscle strength and mobility without excessive strain on the joints.
The getback devices provide resistance throughout your full range of movement, both in the concentric (lifting) and eccentric (lowering) phases. This means the muscles remain engaged in a controlled, fluid motion, reducing the risk of sudden overload.
The isoinertial technology built into getback devices allows patients with back, hip, knee or shoulder pain or weakness to build strength safely, to improve everyday function or rehabilitate from joint replacement surgery.
*Knee, hip and shoulder exercise devices are coming soon to getback South Melbourne.
