TRX® Partners With Liverpool Football Club For THE Winning Formula For Training
Online, May 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Liverpool Football Club has chosen TRX as a preferred training supplier, to give players the winning formula for peak performance.
TRX, the training company, pioneered the TRX® Suspension Trainer®, an incredibly versatile, portable, resistance training system consisting of nylon webbed straps, handles and anchors which can be attached to virtually any secure anchor point; making it the ideal training tool for footballers exercising at their training grounds or on-the-go.
Football is a sport that requires endurance, strength, agility, flexibility and balance - all elements that can be improved with the TRX. In addition, The TRX® Suspension Trainer® enables the user to train movements they perform on the field.
Elite players will endure a full game of football every 2-3 days, which means their strength and conditioning programme needs to be intertwined carefully with recovery. No matter your position, the TRX® Suspension Trainer® guarantees to deliver a workout that will improve human performance before, during and after the game on the pitch.
Liverpool Football Club is the latest professional sports club to champion the TRX Suspension Trainer. Darren Burgess, Head of Fitness and Conditioning at Liverpool FC, who uses TRX throughout the whole squad, says: "The TRX gives players a full body workout and provides dynamic exercises that are really specific for football. The functional training element to the TRX allows the players to improve their strength and power in a football-specific manner. As there are no bars, plates or dumbbells, the players can use their own body weight as resistance in any plane and or movement."
The Liverpool Football Club squad and staff have trained with experts from TRX, establishing a specific training program that works to sustain excellent health and fitness levels among football players.
Randy Hetrick, creator of the TRX® Suspension Trainer®, says: "We are excited to partner with Liverpool and provide training tools that help the team maintain peak performance. TRX is committed to delivering world class gear, education and programming to ensure the most effective use of Suspension Training for the team and athletes of all levels."
In a few short years, the TRX Suspension Trainer has become the choice of professional athletes across the world, in sports as diverse at football, rugby, triathlon, tennis and athletics.
Suspension Training is a superb way to build muscular strength as well as improve core stability and posture. Users of the TRX perform exercises that build power, strength, balance, flexibility and mobility at the intensity they choose. The TRX combines the practical convenience of a "Gym in a Bag"; small enough to be packed into the size of a shoebox and weighing less than 1kg allowing for easy storage.
