1! INTRO"#CTION
Durin! the late "#$%s t&o researchers from Karolinska Institutet '(tockholm) had a brilliant idea
that later became a bi! inno*ation in the stren!th trainin! field. +ans Ber! ,a doctoral student, and Per
-esch ,his mentor, had one of their usual meetin!s at a popular restaurant in the beautiful (&edish
capital to share some beers and then eno a dinner. Ber! &as an/ious to sho& his mentor an idea that
&as around his brain durin! the past das and that could be the solution to the problem of stren!th
trainin! in a micro!ra*it en*ironment. 0sin! a paper napkin he started to dra& the basic scheme of a
!ra*it,independent er!ometer to pro*ide an inertial accommodated resistance. -he solution &as
simple but !enial1 b means of a special setup2 a fl&heel is set into rotational motion *ia concentric
muscle action and decelerated b a subse3uent eccentric muscle action. B performin! the brakin!
eccentric action o*er a smaller an!ular displacement and hence &ith a !reater muscle tor3ue than that
for concentric action2 an eccentric o*erload is accomplished.
-he first presentation of the de*ice &as performed at a space conference at -riestre #. No&adas2
more than 4% scientific publications 'includin! some doctoral thesis dissertations) ha*e *alidated this
so,called isoinertial technolo!. 5mon! all studies a special mention is deemed to the 6 90-day bed rest
study72 performed at the (pace Clinic in -oulouse &hich has produced se*eral publications includin!
the thesis of Born 5lkner 82 one of former -esch9s PhD students. In this proect2 the lon!,term effects of
musculoskeletal unloadin! due to simulated micro!ra*it2 and the possible benefits of this resistance
e/ercise paradi!m &ere e*aluated. It &as demonstrated that such inter*ention pre*ented loss in muscle
si:e2 ma/imal stren!th as &ell as impairment in rate of force de*elopment and increased susceptibilit
to muscle fati!ue;2

&hose smptoms include stren!th loss2 pain2 and muscle tenderness4%. ?ecent data supports that fast
*elocit eccentric e/ercise causes !reater muscle dama!e than slo& *elocit e/ercise in untrained
subects"4. 5fter the first eccentric e/ercise bout and follo&in! complete reco*er2 a repeated bout of
the same e/ercise results in minimal smptoms of muscle dama!e and has been referred to as the
6repeated bout effect78$. -he e/act mechanism of this adaptation is not &ell defined but it seems to
in*ol*e neural2 mechanical and cellular adaptations4#2 8%. It appears2 ho&e*er2 that if the muscle9s
threshold for failure increases and the attenuation of loads is enhanced2 a protecti*e effect can occur "$2

.! THE YOYOTM FLYWHEEL TECHNOLOGY
-he use of inertia &heels to pro*ide resistance is not ne&. 5s earl as "#==2 Nobel Laureate
5rchibald . +ill emploed a hea* fl&heel to anal:e muscle &ork and its mechanical efficienc >4.
In this classical stud2 the *ariation of the e3ui*alent load of the sstem &as obtained b &indin! astrin! around one of the ei!ht different si:es pulles. +o&e*er2 this de*ice &as desi!ned onl to
pro*ide resistance durin! the concentric phase.
-he &orkin! principle of the oo- Fl&heel -echnolo! de*ice is based on a fl&heel &ith its
a/le fi/ed to a frame. 5 strap is &inded onto its shaft2 and its other end is connected to le! pads2
handles or a harness tied to the trainee. -he strap is pulled for its entire len!th durin! a concentric
muscle action2 settin! a fl&heel into rotation. 5t the end of the concentric action2 the fl&heel
continues to spin b *irtue of its inertia and recoils the strap2 pullin! the trainee9s limb back. 5fter
initiall lettin! the strap re&ind2 the trainee then resists2 thus deceleratin! the fl&heel until all the
kinetic ener! pre*iousl accumulated has been dissipated and the fl&heel has come to a complete
stop.
(ince such eccentric action is e/erted o*er a smaller an!ular displacement than in the concentric
action &hile the ener! is the same for both actions2 the eccentric tor3ue is hi!her than the concentric2
therefore producin! eccentric o*erload8
. 5n e/ample of a repetition &hile e/ercisin! on a ooG le!,
e/tension confi!uration is sho&n in fi!ure =.
5n ad*anta!e of fl&heel de*ices is that the resistance is *irtuall unlimited and self adustin!2
since the fl&heel adapts b opposin! its inertia to &hate*er force is e/erted. -his also implies that all
the repetitions in an e/ercise are actuall ma/imal2 and that the athlete can train until e/haustion2
despite force production decreases &ith fati!ue. For the same reason2 the fl&heel can also
accommodate *ariations in force o*er the ran!e of motion 'e.!.2 due to different biomechanic efficienc
at different oint an!les). -hese do not happen on con*entional &ei!ht,based trainin! de*ices2 &hich
oppose instead a constant resistance &hich e3uals to the load.

(imilar in concept to ooG technolo! de*ices2 the ersaPulleG 'P) features a cone instead
of a fl&heel. 5 cord is &inded on a conic shaft2 therefore offerin! a supposel *ariable inertia o*er the
ran!e of motion2 &ith a hi!her resistance offered at the narro&er part of the cone.
-hanks to its construction2 the pullin! direction of the cord can be arran!ed freel in the three
dimensions2 therefore offerin! the possibilit to train on more comple/ and specific mo*ements.
+o&e*er2 the main difference bet&een these machines is that the P pro*ides hi!h eccentric *elocities
at moderate to lo& forces2 &hile the ooG pro*ides hi!h forces at moderate to lo& eccentric
*elocities 'personal unpublished obser*ations). Both trainin! paradi!ms are needed to co*er the entire
force,*elocit spectrum. -he possibilities of e/ercises &hich can be performed &ith the P are almost
unlimited as in an other kind of pulle2 &hile its ke difference is in the eccentric o*erload that can be
achie*ed &ith a proper coordination.
-he P presents the option to chan!e the speedforce ratio b modifin! the position of the closer
round pulle &ith respect to the cone. 0sin! a similar principle than a biccle !ear2 it is e/pected to
obtain hi!her force le*els in upper positions &here the rope &inds around the narro& part of the cone in
contrast &ith hi!her *elocities obtained in lo&er positions &here a &ider area of the cone is used.
?ecentl2 &e ha*e confirmed these statements in our lab.
Chiu and (alem"8 ha*e compared for the first time the oint kinetics durin! three different
e/ercises performed usin! free &ei!hts &ith a load e3ui*alent to 8? *s. P set at onl the upper
position 'le*el 8 or 4 dependin! of the e/ercise). In that report2 the impulse 'i.e. the area under the
cur*e of net oint tor3ue *s time) &as anal:ed to determine the contribution of the main three oints of
the lo&er e/tremit. Front s3uats performed &ith fl&heel resistance re3uired !reater contribution of
the hip and ankle2 and less contribution of the knee2 compared to free &ei!ht. Push presses performed
&ith fl&heel resistance had similar impulse re3uirements at the knee compared to free &ei!ht2 but
!reater impulse re3uirement at the hip and ankle. E/ercises in*ol*in! dnamic lo&er and upper
e/tremit actions2 such as the push press2 ma benefit from fl&heel inertial resistance2 due to the
increased mechanical demand on the knee e/tensors.

Further studies are needed in order to anal:e the effects of this e/ercise paradi!m on functional
abilities such as umpin!2 sprint,speed2 a!ilit2 etc...
3! CONCL#SIONS
-he isoinertial technolo! is a real accommodated inertial resistance able to pro*ide2 &hen proper
used2 an eccentric o*erload and all its associated trainin! effects.
(e*eral studies ha*e reported the efficac and feasibilit of these de*ices to pro*ide a &ide ran!e
of adaptations 'muscle *olume2 force and po&er2 runnin! speed2 etc...)
5! PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
-rainin! situations &hen *er short time is a*ailable to include comprehensi*e stren!th trainin!
sessions 'i.e. team sports &ith &eekl competitions) &ill speciall benefit from this e/ercise paradi!m.
(ubects &ith &eak trunk unable to support hea* loads o*er the upper bod can also benefit from
these de*ices and perform lo&er bod e/ercises at a ma/imum intensit. -hese machines could also be
easil used as testin! de*ices offerin! real time feedback to monitor the trainin! load.
