YAKO-PADDLE USES:

AQUATIC BODYBUILDING

• The YAKO-PADDLE builds and strengthens muscles, improves muscle tone, and enhances muscular coordination.
• The YAKO-PADDLE exercises opposing muscle groups at the same time to promote body symmetry and strength in an optimal, balanced workout.
• The YAKO-PADDLE offers resistance (hydrodynamic-drag) that is equal to the force of the muscle groups being exerted (accommodating- resistance). This scientific innovation helps you develop each individual muscle group safely and effectively.
• YAKO-PADDLE training is virtually risk free, unlike weight training, which can over-strain muscles and put stress on the joints of an inexperienced or overzealous user.
• The cooling effect of water workouts reduces the rest periods required in conventional weight training.

AQUA-AEROBICS

• Research shows that YAKO-PADDLE programs promote cardiovascular conditioning - raising cardiac output per heart beat with smaller increases in heart rate. In fact, it is the ideal cardiovascular conditioning system.
• The pulse of a conditioned athlete, for instance, is lower than that of an individual who lacks regular athletic exercise. Normal cardiac output is measured at 5L/min. Just submersion in water at neck depth increases at-rest cardiac output by 32%. YAKO-PADDLE programs bring fitness and athletic cardio health both in and out of water.

WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMS

• The YAKO-PADDLE is ideally suited to build exercise tolerance effectively for achieving conditioning and weight loss.

 

PHYSICAL REHABILITATION

• YAKO-PADDLE programs apply the principles of aquatic physics to human physiology, which science has proven to help people achieve fitness and function.
• YAKO-PADDLE exercise induces physiological changes in your body that help remove metabolic waste, improve cardiac function, lower blood pressure and assist in tissue healing.
• Research shows that YAKO-PADDLE training targets the most significant physiologic aspects of aging: obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and other joint pathology.
• Exercises with the YAKO-PADDLE place no excess strain on body parts other than the muscles targeted, so it is a perfect tool to strengthen muscles for people who cannot train with conventional exercise regimes because of back injuries, joint conditions or obesity.

JOINT OFF-LOADING

• Exercise with the YAKO-PADDLE optimizes and conditions the musculoskeletal system of athletes in need of a recovery period to heal their joints.
• Using the YAKO-PADDLE sustains or increases aerobic conditioning in athletes who need to work-out while preventing wear and tear of their joints.
• YAKO-PADDLE training is equivalent to land training in its effect, maintaining the maximum amount of oxygen (VO2 max) a person can use during training of similar intensities.
• Compared to conventional exercise, the YAKO-PADDLE offers maximum gains in VO2 in unfit individuals. Also, when you exercise in low temperature water, lower heart rates accompany the gains achieved.
