Treadmetrix SEGR Fv1 Electric Leg Press
The Treadmetrix SEGR FV1 is a fully programmable leg press that is the most advanced training and testing system available for lower extremity extension movements.
“SEGR” is the Old Norse word for Victory and was coined by Treadmetrix’s partners at US Ski and Snowboard – who have been using the device since they built their first prototype.
The advanced servo system allows nearly infinite loads to be programmed at precise positions and speeds. Loads can be set to dynamically change from 10 to over 3,000 lb-f in as little as 10ms within 1mm of a specified position. Most leg press machines are limited in their ability to load the athlete or patient as loading profiles are limited in how much load can be changed over a given range of motion. The FV1 makes it possible to dynamically change the loads over the entire range of motion. The result is an ultra-smooth load profile that matches what a person can produce at each position over the range of motion–both concentrically and eccentrically.
The on board instrumentation allows accurate measurement of force, impulse, power and rate of force development (RFD) at user-specified positions and speeds. The FV1 is truly unique in its ability to provide resistance and measure neuromuscular performance.
Key Features
- Easy to use software interface allows efficient training and testing while optimising the programmable features of the device
- Fully programmable loading profiles for both concentric and eccentric phases of leg press and plantar flexion movements
- Footplate places the ankle in a slight plantar flexion angle to allow athlete to exert force through the balls of their feet
- Bottom of the footplate is designed to allow athlete to safely perform ankle plantar flexion movements
- Range of travel is 1.1 m, allowing athletes over 7 ft in height to perform jumps on the device.
- Back Rest/Seat adjustable from 10-40 deg.
- Positional accuracy of sled < 1 mm
- *HD model is capable of producing loads over 3,000 lb-f or 13,355 N and sled velocities of up to 8.85 m/s (requires 208V, 30A 3-phase)
- Standard tests (Leg Press and Plantar Flexion movements)
- Isometric tests and any user-specified position
- Iso-velocity test measures force output at constant speeds (closed chain iso-kinetics at speeds > 6 m/s)
- Plyometric jump tests at any user-specified load profile
