Simulateur de nage pour l'évaluation de la performance aquatique.
General Description
The Vasa Swim Ergometer is an out-of-water training device designed for swimmers, triathletes, and coaches. It perfectly simulates swimming strokes with adjustable resistance and accurately measures power output. It is a gold-standard tool for improving swimming technique, specific muscle strength, and endurance, while offering precise tracking of athletic performance metrics.
Main Technical Characteristics
- Assembled Dimensions: Approximately 259 × 71 × 81 cm (L × W × H).
- Recommended Operating Space: Approximately 305 × 122 cm.
- Device Weight: ~35 kg.
- Structure: Robust steel frame with a durable epoxy coating.
- Rail: Anodized aluminum monorail ensuring a remarkably smooth bench glide.
- Bench: Anatomically contoured padded bench (~90 cm long, 29–34 cm wide); an XL version is also available.
- Resistance: Air-fan resistance system with a multi-level damper (allowing for various resistance settings that simulate water drag).
- Console / Power Meter (optional): Measures power in watts, stroke cadence, left/right force balance, distance, and time; includes ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity.
- Included Accessories: Power paddles, exercise handles, padded bench, assembly kit, and various attachment options for a multitude of exercises.
Advantages and Typical Uses
- Specific Out-of-Water Training: Maintains physical conditioning and swimming specific strength even without pool access.
- Technique Enhancement: Perfects the water catch phase, arm stroke mechanics, and bilateral symmetry.
- Performance Boosting: Targets specific swimming strength and builds long-lasting muscular endurance.
- Prevention & Rehabilitation: Highly ideal for active recovery, targeted muscle strengthening, and shoulder injury prevention.
- Quantitative Tracking: In-depth analysis of watts, cadence, left/right asymmetries, distance, and interval pacing for highly precise training periodization.
