Fascia: Workout Your Smart Tissue

Updated: Jun 27


Under the microscope, fascia reveals its intricate network of multi-directional fibers and blood capillaries, highlighting its role in providing structure and nourishment to the body's tissues.

Our One Fascia: What is it and What Does it Do?


Fascia(*) is a fibrous connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs throughout the body. It is an intelligent structure that is rich in collagen and elastin, and it has the ability to adapt to different demands and stresses placed upon it.

Research has shown that training methods that stimulate the fascia can lead to increased strength, improved athletic performance, and reduced risk of injury. This is where the gyroball comes in.


Eccentric Contractions and Upper Body Muscle Groups Targeted by Gyroball Academy


The Gyroball Academy's unique training method generates eccentric contractions for different muscle groups in the upper body. This causes the fascia to stretch and adapt to the resistance, resulting in increased strength and muscle mass. Instead of using one ATP per each cross-bridging cycle, eccentric contraction utilizes one ATP molecule for several cycles (**).

💫🎯

By distributing resistance evenly along the limb, the gyroball also helps to strengthen tendons and ligaments, reducing the risk of injury and improving overall athletic performance.

Other Benefits of Gyroball Training

But the benefits of gyroball training don't stop there. By stimulating proprioception, or the body's awareness of its position in space, gyroball training can improve balance, coordination, and agility.



💫💫💫

So whether you're an athlete looking to improve your performance or simply looking for a new and effective way to build strength and improve your overall fitness, the gyroball is an excellent choice. Try it out for yourself!

(*) Note: We're referring to the deep fascia. There is another type of fascia, called the superficial fascia, which is located just below the skin and serves as a connective layer between the skin and underlying structures, such as muscles and bones. It also stores fat and plays a role in regulating body temperature.
