The YAKO-PADDLE for Aquatic Exercise

• We have designed the YAKO-PADDLE for exercise in water to strengthen muscles, improve muscle tone and enhance muscular coordination.
• As athletes and physical therapists have known for years, water is a very safe environment for exercising. In water, you can have a vigorous work-out without overheating and straining muscles beyond their capacity.
• The YAKO-PADDLE works on the principles of hydrodynamics and accommodating resistance. When exercising with the YAKO-PADDLE, the amount of resistance (hydrodynamic drag) created is equal to, but never greater than, the force of the muscle groups being exerted (accommodating resistance).
• Men, women, and children possessing different strengths and capabilities can use the YAKO-PADDLE.
• By adjusting the venting system, you can determine the level of resistance desired, tailoring each exercise to your individual needs.
• When moved in every plane of movement, the YAKO-PADDLE offers equal resistance.
• The venting method does not jam even if used in a salty, sandy/dusty environment, such as seas or oceans. Users can disassemble units to enable cleaning.
• Both a swimming pool and surf/seaside locations are suitable for the products. (All materials used are suitable for its environment, with good UV and chemical resistance and high-impact strength.)
• There will be follow-on products for legs and accessory products such as garments, t-shirts, carrying bags, poolside paddle racks, tethers and new designs for other existing products.
• We plan to produce many videos for fitness instruction and especially for specific physical therapy programs.
