'Amazing New KRANKCYCLEFITNESS'

The many benefits of Kranking

Improves Cardiovascular fitness
Although it is not yet common knowledge, upper-body rotational exercise can dramatically improve the CV system, even while using significantly less muscle mass than traditional CV exercise. Studies have determined that arm cranking elicits increases in VO2 max, cardiac output, ventilatory threshold, and blood lactate responses similar to those observed during leg exercise. In some arm-trained subjects, such as rowers, cross-country skiers, and swimmers, the arm VO2 max approached and even surpassed the leg value.

Provides Cardiovascular Transfer Benefits
Studies show that the CV benefits obtained from arm cranking confer both central and peripheral benefits. The ability to maintain central cardiovascular fitness by Kranking will enable lower-body exercise enthusiasts who become injured to retain their fitness while healing. As a result, when they return to their activity of choice, they will not have experienced a total reversal of training adaptations.

Provides Effective Cross Training
The benefit-transfer phenomenon also provides tremendous cross-training benefits when individuals need to give their primary muscles a rest. Current cross-training methods typically use the primary muscles that need recovery, but in a different modality (e.g., cycling for running). Kranking will likely become the most popular form of indoor cross-training for the general fitness enthusiast. This is because it is engaging enough to encourage hard training that maintains central cardiovascular adaptations while also providing complete rest for the primary muscles used in most activities.

Improves Upper-Body Strength
One of the most exciting contributions that Kranking will make lies in its impact on upper-body strength training for individuals who do not like, or have time for, traditional weight training. Studies have demonstrated significant increases in upper-body hypertrophy and tonality and decreases in skin-fold thickness after just 6 weeks of arm cranking. This is possible through short intervals performed at high intensity with limited recovery, which forces the development of larger, Type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibers. Even more exciting is that muscular changes in the upper body during arm cranking have been reported even with endurance training, presumably as a result of the low level of conditioning that these muscles have in the average person.

The many benefits of Kranking Continued

Improves Core Strength
Upper-body rotational exercise on a Krankcycle is a complex series of movements performed in a coordinated fashion and reinforced by the activation of core muscles to stabilize the body. The benefit of this activation lies in the reinforcement and strengthening of those muscles, which make it easier to recruit larger muscles and, in turn, increase the cardio effect.

Provides Integrated Movement and Functional Benefits
Independent Krankarms are the most important innovation of the Krankcycle. Each arm can drive the Krankcycle, but one arm cannot assist the other. The additional muscular recruitment necessary for maintaining synchronization between the Krankarms forces the use of ALL of the muscles of the upper body, as well as many core muscles, in a balanced and coordinated way. This facilitates neuromuscular changes that, in turn, balance the muscle and improve form and efficiency

Promotes Weight Management
Kranking provides a tool and a training program that are fun. It will encourage people to train their upper bodies to adapt them for endurance and enhanced O2 consumption. This training will lead to an increased ability to burn calories with the upper body. It will also provide another set of limbs with which to maintain a maximum level of caloric burn during a single training session. The ability to hypertrophy the working muscle (see Strength Benefits) yields an increased at-rest metabolic rate and caloric burn. In addition, dynamic exercise protocols demonstrated by our Master Trainers will elicit a greater post-exercise VO2 (and caloric burn) after exercise ends.

Improves Selected Sports Performance
Kranking provides exciting, indoor upper-body CV conditioning that can be done in groups as primary exercise for upper-body athletes including swimmers, triathletes, kayakers, paddlers, surfers, canoeists, grinders, boxers and hand cyclists. Currently, no convenient system of indoor, upper-body conditioning exists for these athletes. Kranking provides CV conditioning for their performance muscles, upper-body strength, and core training, and also functionally balances both sides of the body.

I like this alot,both the Krankcycle & the blog. You give a very clear breakdown of the cycle,so thank you :-)

I used it at ECA last November and was feeling the fullness in the muscles in my arms for a good two weeks later,which shocked me as I have been working in the industry for 10 years now.

Just wait until it goes mainstream at IHRSA next month.
