GlideCycle™ and GlideTrak™ Sports Performance Enhancement

Stride Lengthening and Enhancement

  • Extended range of motion through hips and legs during the gliding phase of each stride

Maximal Speed Training

  • Unweighted running allows users achieve and sustain significantly higher speeds than regular running
  • No risky impact from downhill or band assisted speed training necessary
  • Unique pelvic suspension is more comfortable and less constricting than harness systems which improves the effectiveness of sustained, high speed training

Low Impact Power Training

  • Hill training: The GlideCycle™ targets the most powerful running muscle groups
  • Brake resistance: Can be added to develop power on level surfaces and simulate explosive starts
  • High knee running
  • Reciprocal bounding (as in long jump approach)
  • Double leg bounding
  • Single leg training

Competitive Edge

  • May be used to allow extra high intensity, high mileage and aerobic training days without soreness or risk of injury
  • Extra power and strength development, especially in the core and posterior muscles, from GlideCycle™ and GlideTrak™ training may carry over into an extra “kick” needed on hills and sustained bursts of speed.
  • Provides efficient, high intensity workouts including interval training

Conditioning for Large Athletes

  • Ideal for football linemen and other heavy or aging athletes
  • May be great tool for off-season weight loss or management and for building an endurance base prior to start of season
  • More comfortable on joints, promotes enhanced running motion and may prevent injuries or joint stress, especially in larger, predisposed athletes

Ideal Cross Trainer

  • The best form of cross training for all running sports
  • Allows aerobic conditioning and recovery workouts without the usual soreness, fatigue and eccentric tissue breakdown from standard training.
  • Removes repetitive and potentially damaging pounding forces on joints
  • Simulates the natural running motion more closely than any other mode of exercise
  • Simulates a natural running environment, both indoor and outdoor
  • Functional carry over to running and other sports activities is much greater than conditioning on a stationary bicycle, elliptical trainer or in a pool
  • Ideal cross trainer for bicyclists as it strengthens and elongates muscle groups neglected by the small, repetitive pedaling motion and provides a more complete body workout
  • Opportunity for more efficient workouts, especially higher aerobic zone workouts, than bicycling on the road

I went to meet the GlideCycle™ staff to find out what their product might be able to do for my patients... Within a short time, it became clear that the GlideCycle™ was truly changing lives...

Jan

The GlideCycle™ changed my life, and helped to transform me into an athlete.  I was struggling with an extra 50 pounds for years after a foot surgery.    GlideCycle Running was the key.  It is a new sport, and it takes due diligence to learn, but the results are wonderful.

Sincerely, Joy Houssney

I LOVE to go out and glide. I live on a flat road with two very steep hills on either side and run almost 1 1/2 miles.    Sometimes I go too fast, but my family walks with me and I go to the end and come back to them.  FUN! FUN! FUN!  I want one for over my treadmill for frozen winters and hot summers!

After only using the GlideCycle™ three times I noticed how much better I felt. I usually have to struggle to push myself out of a chair to stand, but now I can just stand right up! After only a month of using my new GlideCycle™ I was up to running 3/4 of a mile 4 times a week and now only a few weeks later I'm running 2 miles at a time! My life has changed.

Holly Rush

Something wonderful has happened to me. Little did I know that David and his GlideCycle™ would drastically change my life... To date, I have lost 32 pounds and I am in the picture of health...

Every sports team in the world needs these.  I would still be playing football today if I had one 5 years ago.  I mean it!

Mark and Angie

We ran 17 miles with our GlideCycles™ in a recent race.  We just became sales reps in Portland, Oregon!  Awesome couples play!!!
