Did you know that vacuum assisted exercise was originally invented more than 50 years ago to keep astronauts fit & healthy while they were in outer space?
Still used by NASA today the idea was quickly adopted by Sports Scientists for recovery training & speedy muscle rehabilitation for professional athletes.
Many professional athletes & football clubs across the world have their own vacuum assisted training equipment for rehab & recovery training. (even at least one right here on the GC)
Vacuum assisted exercise works on the discovery that body fat is burned faster in fatty areas where the tissue is well supplied with good blood circulation while undertaking exercise in the fat burning aerobic zone.
That’s why the vacuum training devices used for body reshaping combine circulation enhancing methods with movement.
With this knowledge sports scientists and mechanical engineers have developed several revolutionary vacuum training devices.
Originally invented in Austria with a revolutionary idea by Dr. Norbert Egger, an Austrian Sports Scientist. With his invention he laid the foundations for an entirely new category of body shaping. After graduating from the University of Salzburg, he rounded off his competencies with extensive advanced training in the areas of rehabilitation and health. We have his devices in our VACUFIT studios for you to use.
TECHNOSHAPE was also invented by an Austrian; M Schwaiger Shah, a mechanical engineer who had worked in the field of body styling. He created & patented ‘pressure pause therapy’ training that would focus on reducing the midriff, improving digestion & reducing visceral fat. We use TechnoShape in our Southport Studio.
SASTA a vacuum assisted treadmill was invented & manufactured by an Irish woman, Fiona Egan & is used exclusively in her Sasta Fitness studios in Ireland. We’ve tested this out but didn’t think it was the right product for our VACUFIT clients.
There are several other European vacuum assisted training devices from companies in Europe; Vakufit, Vacuactiv & Vacushape among others.
