ErgoStride and SoftStride

Cardio Wave™ uses exclusive biomechanical solutions patented by Technogym to allow a natural, effective and safe movement with no impact on the joints.

With ErgoStride it is possible to adjust the position of the board simultaneously on the three axes throughout the entire movement to ensure correct posture and the greatest effectiveness of the exercise. Cardio Wave™ is moreover the only apparatus equipped with the SoftStride board dynamic connection device that ensures extremely easy access and use.

Scientific Research

Calorie Consumption

Research provides scientific confirmation for Cardio Wave™: More calories in less time

With Cardio Wave™ an aerobic exercise is performed, and it can be done for long periods of time at medium-high intensity generating high calorie expenditure.

The pleasure of the movement is engrossing for the person doing the workout, and this leads him to work out harder than on other equipment, with an accordingly greater calorie consumption.

Cardio Wave™ permits accomplishing the best ratio between calorie expenditure and muscle toning in every exercise session.

Muscle Toning

Research provides scientific confirmation for Cardio Wave™: Maximum effectiveness

Carrying out the three movements of extension, abduction and extra-rotation at the same time makes Cardio Wave™ the apparatus with the greatest effectiveness on the glutes because it significantly activates not only the large glute but also the small and medium glute.

The multiplanar movement permits a global involvement of the muscles of the glutes, lower limbs and stabilisers of the backbone.

Muscle activation has been tested with both the electromiographic method and the NIRS (Near Infrared Spectroscopy) method that permits measuring the consumption of oxygen on the single muscle groups.

Knee strenghtening

Research provides scientific confirmation for Cardio Wave™: Perfect for sports preparation

As there is absolutely no impact when working out, so Cardio Wave™ is safe and effective for everyone to use.

The need to check the breadth of the movement and the coordinated action of the muscles make it an excellent apparatus for strengthening all the muscle zones involved in the movements of the knee.

These characteristics make Cardio Wave™ extremely effective in the field of rehabilitation, too.
