NL Training with Keiser
Keiser's fitness machines are different from standard strength equipment. You might be used to the machines with piles of weights that you can adjust with a pin. Keiser in contrast works on pneumatic pressure (air pressure).
One advantage of working out with keiser's equipment is that the resistance remains the same throughout your entire range of motion. This is not the case with traditional fitness equipment. This is because here we see that the force changes at every angle of the movement. Something that is not always desirable.
With traditional equipment, a lot of force is often delivered at the start of the movement and at the end, but you see a 'dip' in the middle trajectory under the influence of gravity and momentum. More speed here has a negative impact on the amount of load in your movement trajectory. So with keiser's equipment, we don't have this. Here, resistance remains constant even at high speeds.

Constant resistance ensures that you do not get peak loads on joints, muscles and tendons and we can therefore always train responsibly, both with people who are less fit due to surgery or osteoarthritis symptoms, for example. Another advantage over traditional equipment is that we can increase resistance in very small steps. Whereas with traditional equipment this is often done in increments of, say, 2.5/5kg, on Keiser's equipment it can be done in increments of 100 grams. This allows us to train in a very well dosed way.
In addition to the patient group with lower resistance, Keiser equipment is also ideal for use in later stages of rehabilitation. This is because we can also train with very high resistances, and even add extra weight discs on certain machines. Using keiser training equipment, we have the opportunity to address all aspects of training. We can work on maximum strength, but also speed and, of course, everything in between. So we can turn any rehabilitation into sports-specific training to optimise your performance as much as possible.
Keiser's equipment ensures that we can optimally rehabilitate every patient.
