Ballistic training is when an athlete lifts, accelerates, and releases a weight into free space, with the goal of developing increased power output. Power in the context of sport is the ability to express high levels of force in short periods of time, which is critical for athletes across all disciplines [2, 4].

Many studies have highlighted a problem with traditional weight training for power development [3, 5, 7, 15, 17]. Since the athlete must slow the load to a complete stop, there must be a deceleration during a considerable portion of the exercise. Cormax solves this problem by allowing acceleration throughout the entire movement [6].

Furthermore, Cormax improves upon standard ballistic training by controlling the rate of fall of the weight, optionally eliminating or reducing the eccentric portion of the movement [9].

Unlike any other equipment on the market, Cormax uses its patented Cormax Training Control Cylinder™ to float the weight back to the user after being accelerated into free space, allowing for true ballistic power training with maximum intensity and safety.

This type of training allows for many things:

• Increased power development [7, 10] through both ballistic and plyometric movements [6]

• Effective implementation of Velocity Based Training techniques

• Higher level of motor unit recruitment [11]

• Increased engagement of fast twitch muscle fibers [4, 14]

• Training along the entire Force-Velocity Curve [6]

• Greater Rate of Force Development [14]

• Higher rate of caloric expenditure [18]

• Reduced muscle soreness [6]

• Reduced joint impact [9]

Everybody! Whether you’re five years old or ninety five years old. Whether you’re an Olympian looking for an edge, or a high school athlete looking to build a strong foundation. Whether you’re able-bodied or rehabbing an injury. Cormax is ideal anybody and everybody.
