The Tools

Our programs will include, but will not be limited to, multiple methods in over speed training involving multi-directional motion, lower chain strength training, traditional and velocity specific plyometrics, agility drills, core strength and stabilization development, joint stability, functional resistance training that mimics the biomechanical movements of running and light load, high velocity training.

	High Performance Treadmills Capable of speeds exceeding 31 Mph and Inclinations above 30° Allows the athlete to gain speed enhancement & increase acceleration by lengthening strides & increasing stride frequency while recruiting TYPE B fast twitch muscle fibers which are most responsible for creating explosion, power & speed The incorporation of incline training results in speed enhancement by optimizing stretch reflex mechanisms. Allows unimpeded forward, lateral, and backward motion Results in speed enhancement

	PNEUMEX Pneu-Weight ™ Air pressure controlled harness system removes risk of injury due to falls / remove fear of falling during exercise Allows 360° rotation & range of motion Allows unimpeded forward, lateral, and backward motion Improves first step quickness, balance, coordination, agility, and transition or change of direction which are of the utmost importance in sports performance Improves balance and posture MVP is one of the few in Ohio that can provide this type of training

	VERTIMAX™ Incorporates a low load, high velocity specific resistance training philosophy that allows athletes to rapidly accelerate and obtain maximal velocity on every repetition. Specifically recruits the TYPE B fast twitch muscle fibers responsible for explosive power & speed. Provides sport specific functional training that incorporates various locatable cords. This allows for precise replicable resistance vectors involving multiple muscle groups for any sports movement. Enhances the rate of Low Body Reactive Power – a fundamental requirement for explosion out of the blocks, superior vertical jumping ability & dominant first step quickness.

	Pneumex Pro-Vibe The Pneumex Pro-Vibe is an advanced apparatus that incorporates whole body vibration and is being used at the highest levels of strength training. There are direct correlations between the use of whole body vibration and competitive athletic strength gains and increases in metabolism. Not to mention, increases in bone density and elevated levels of growth hormone and testosterone have been documented. We are just beginning to realize the benefits of whole body vibration in regards to athletic development, from activation and recruitment of muscle fibers to enhancing the health and durability of connective tissue to prevent injuries. When incorporating the Pro-Vibe during strength training sessions muscle tissue responds involuntarily to each vibration, activating and recruiting dormant tissue which in turn fosters greater improvements in strength and power at an improved rate. The applications of this device are limitless, ranging from pre exercise warm up techniques and activating muscle tissue to Myofascial release techniques for the rehabilitation of injuries. In addition, there are a variety of static and dynamic exercises that can be performed on the vibration unit that enhance athletic performance. The Pro-Vibe is the device your competitor’s mother loses sleep over!
