Exercise Response to Elliptical Trainers

Autor Ryan | 26.12.2011 | Category Fitness

Each year, new, innovative exercise machines are developed to try to capture the popularity in this multi-million-dollar fitness industry. One of the latest products on the market is the class of machines called elliptical trainers. With elliptical trainers, the lower body motion is a cross between an upright stationary cycle and a stepper, except that the feet move in an egg-shaped, or elliptical pattern, as opposed to a circular path. Since the feet never leave the footpads, ground reaction or impact forces in the feet are purported to be lower, resulting in fewer orthopedic injuries to the lower extremities. This is good news for the large number of people who are looking for a high-intensity, low-impact substitute to jogging. While the popularity of elliptical trainers has virtually exploded, research on their benefits is relatively scarce.
