ENHANCE RUNNING PERFORMANCE & REHABILITATION

ANTI-GRAVITY OVERSPEED TREADMILL RUNNING

Our Anti-Gravity Running system uses unweighting technology to reduce the impact on your joints while allowing you to move at high speeds — safely and efficiently. Whether you’re recovering from injury, returning to running, or looking to push your performance, this is the tool elite runners, those recovering from injuries, and endurance athletes trust.

Anti-gravity running  includes a complete pre-screening process, warm-up and training/rehabilitation:

1. Personalised Assessment & Goal Setting

We begin by understanding your current condition, running history, and specific objectives—be it recovery, performance enhancement, or a return to running. This ensures a tailored approach aligned with your needs.

2. LEVER System Calibration & Setup
You’ll be fitted into our LEVER body weight support system, which integrates seamlessly with our treadmill. We’ll adjust the unweighting level (up to 45 lbs off your body weight) to match your training or rehabilitation requirements.

3. Technique Monitoring & Real-Time Feedback
As you run, our clinicians observe your gait, cadence, and stride mechanics, providing immediate feedback. This helps in refining your running form and ensuring optimal biomechanics. Additionally, in the cases of rehabilitation we monitor your symptoms and ensure a safe return to running.

4. Targeted Overspeed Training Session
In the case of performance enhancement, we engage in a structured running session designed to meet your goals—whether it’s overspeed intervals to enhance neuromuscular adaptation and/or aerobic base building post injury. The reduced impact allows for faster turnover and stride mechanics improvement, helping you reach new paces and levels.

5. Support & Guidance
We conclude with a comprehensive review of your session, discussing movement cues and outlining a progression strategy. This ensures you’re on track for your next training phase or outdoor running transition.

VO2 Max testing is suitable for a wide range of individuals:

  • Runners
  • Multi-sport athletes (triathletes), cyclists and rowers
  • Those looking to understand their VO2 Max in the context of health and longevity
  • Team sport athletes (football/AFL)
  • Anyone looking to gain data-driven insights into their VO2 Max and endurance function

Choosing VO2 Max testing GymTherapy means you will:

  • Understand your heart rate, ventilatory thresholds, pace/power zones specific for you
  • Use the data to enhance and optimise your training specific for you and your goals.
  • Enhance your oxygen uptake ability
  • Personalised training recommendations
  • Guidance on factors contributing to your VO2 Max, athletic performance and longevity

You will learn about several aspects of your cardiovascular fitness, including:

  • VO2 Max: Is a measure of the body's capacity to maximally uptake oxygen from the environment and use it in skeletal muscle during intense full-body exercise (maximal oxygen consumption). It is considered the gold-standard measurement for cardiorespiratory fitness
  • Training Zones: Training zones are calculated based on the relationship between your VO2 Max, heart rate, and mechanical output (power/pace). By completing VO2 Max testing, it allows for accurate prescription of these training zones, optimising training and performance.
  • Pulmonary Diffusion Capacity: One of the factors that determines VO2 Max, it describes the ability of the lungs to uptake large volumes of air ad exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide through the alveoli.
  • Cardiac Output: The ability of the heart to pump large volumes of oxygenated blood.
  • Oxygen Carrying Capacity of the Blood: The amount of oxygen that can be transported to the muscle, important for VO2 Max.
  • Skeletal Muscle Oxygen Extraction: Describes the muscle's ability to uptake and utilise oxygen for function.
  • Ventilatory Thresholds: Describes the relationship between physical exertion and ventilation. During VO2 Max testing, two key ventilatory thresholds (VT1 & VT2) are identified, which allows for specific training recommendations that improve these values moving forward.
