Running economy, meet flywheel 🤝🏻

How can flywheel resistance training improve running economy? Let’s find out 🏃🏽💨

In the previous post, the findings of Ruffino et al. (2021) on the treatment of patellar tendinopathy were detailed. In sum these researchers observed no significant differences between flywheel (FRT) and heavy resistance training (HRT) across the many variables of interest. 🤔

What was particularly noteworthy in this study was that two flywheel plates weighing 6.5 kg kg collectively, were equally effective to TRT that used 12 RM, 10 RM, 8 RM and 6 RM loading.

Can you imagine the number of plates and associated costs that would be needed to load individuals across a spectrum of loads ranging from 6-12 RM?

Also, what about the time needed for changing loads during TRT and the potential for injury associated with lifting heavy loads e.g. 6 RM?

👉🏻 Do you think flywheel technology might provide a better option for the rehab of tendinopathies than heavy resistance training?

Pacifying Patellar Tendon Pain 🦵🏻

Background:
Patellar tendinopathy is an injury that impacts sport participation, day to day function, and quality of life. Recommended treatment is eccentric or heavy slow resistance training exercise. Flywheel technology could be of benefit to patellar tendinopathy patients due to its eccentric loading characteristics. The aim of this study by Ruffino et al (2021) therefore, was to determine the ability of flywheel resistance training (FRT) on reducing pain and improving function of patellar tendinopathy (PT) as compared to traditional heavy resistance training (HRT).

👀 What They Found:
Ruffino et al., observed there was no significant difference between flywheel and heavy resistance training across the variables of interest, as listed on the photo.

👉🏻 Take Home:
For several decades, heavy eccentric and heavy slow resistance training have been considered the conservative cornerstone of manging lower limb tendinopathies. It appears, however, that FRT is equally effective for reducing pain, and improving function, strength, power, and tendon properties.
