| Ercolna is the main training tool of Petra Majdič |
Lack of training may lead to loss of muscle strength and mass thereby not only hindering the athletic performance but also preventing correct execution of skiing technique. Problems may include, for example, rotation of the upper body, arm-pole misalignment at the conclusion of the arm stroke, difficulties in synchronizing leg motion when practicing double stroke skating style. All of these problems are often to blame on an inadequate arm stroke.
"Ercolina Upper Body Power" was born to fill a gap in the market because there was no machine able to provide this specific form of arm training. This machine simulates the motion and the intensity of a cross-country skiing pole stroke. Cross-country skiing technique is characterized by repetition and the ability to rhythmically produce propulsive force over long periods of time. Training with the "Ercolina Upper Body Power" is a convenient way to develop the strength and endurance needed for successful cross-country skiing.
The machine allows the intensity of the workout to be adjusted thereby catering for the needs of all athletes. An example training session can include a ten minute warm up at reduced intensity, followed by 4 one minute sets performed at the highest speed on a medium intensity setting. Each set should be followed by a three minute rest interval during which loosening up exercises should be performed.
"Ercolina Upper Body Power" is ergonomically constructed. The stroke is the same as in crosscountry skiing and allows both simultaneous and alternate arm stroke. The machine can be adjusted according to individual needs so that the training regimen can be easily personalized. The stroke phase is fluid and doesn't overstress the muscles; the return phase after the stroke requires no effort.
The ideas behind "Ercolina Upper Body Power" are not new. In fact, a similar machine has been produced for a long time in the former Soviet Union where it is used by all professional teams and amateur athletes, sporting groups and societies. Since it has been proved that even only 5 or 6 days without training can cause a noticeable strength reduction, "Ercolina Upper Body Power" offers an excellent alternative for people who can not ski every day in wintertime as well as for summer training.
"Ercolina Upper Body Power" can be installed indoors or outdoors on a wall using two anchor bolts or a customized mounting. It is light and compact allowing for easy transport. A carry bag is available upon request.
