E


xeter Chiefs rugby club is one of the most suc- cessful rugby clubs in the country – playing in the


Aviva Premiership. Since the club was promoted in May 2010, Exeter has steadily ascended to become an established presence in the top tier of rugby. After finishing eighth in its first ever season in top-flight rugby, the success that’s been achieved in a short period of time is outstanding. Gen3 Kinematics was brought in to


install its MyoQuip strength training systems, the MyoTruk and MyoThrusta in July 2010. The training programmes through which head of strength and conditioning coach Paddy Anson puts his players through uses the MyoTruk and MyoThrusta daily to increase the strength and explosiveness of his players. One of the key aspects to the Myo-


Truk and MyoThrusta is the ability to do strength training efficiently and effec- tively due to the technology involved in the MyoQuip equipment. As Anson explains: “The MyoTruk and MyoThrusta have formed a key part of to our train- ing programmes that have helped us tremendously since our arrival in the Pre- miership. Our testing scores have been


“Using the MyoTruk and


MyoThrusta in our training sessions, the team has


achieved roughly a 7 per cent increase in strength and conditioning gain”


excellent and the guys are fitter and stronger than ever.” The game results of Exeter Chiefs have


spoken for themselves since the club was promoted. It currently lies fifth in the Premiership this year having won three out of the first six games. With a squad that possesses many of its players from its time in the league below, strength and conditioning performance has been a key part to their success. “Using the MyoTruk and MyoThrusta in our training, we have achieved roughly a 7 per cent increase in strength and conditioning gain,” says An- son. “This is a massive amount at the elite level given that even a 1 per cent increase is considered to be a great result”. Injury prevention is one of the key


aspects to Gen3 Kinematics’ MyoQuip training systems that has benefited Exeter. The equipment’s aim is to provide a safer, more efficient strength training environ- ment for athletes in any sport. Armed with the patented Broad Biomechanical

Correspondence Technology, the sys- tems are able to deliver effective muscle fibre recruitment through a full-range of movement – from extreme flexion to full extension, with a greatly reduced risk of injury during training. This is due to the equipment design being focused on de- livering training movements that have no adverse loading in the spine, hips or knees. Andy Naisbitt, business development


manager, Gen3 Kinematics, says: “We’re delighted with the results that have been achieved by the guys at Exeter Chiefs. “Their performances in the league


have been brilliant and with the use of our training equipment we are proud to be a part of the club’s success. Our part- nership helps reinforce our ambition to help develop a new method of strength training for athletes across the board.”
