Prevention & training

Injuries rarely happen in planned movements but in unexpected ones: rolling an ankle, slipping, landing off balance. What matters then is whether the reflex has the right magnitude — and for that the receptor-muscle system needs pre-activation, the so-called preflex.

The more variable the training stimuli, the better the preflex is set and the more precisely the reflex adapts to the situation. The stochastically randomised stimuli of srt zeptoring® deliver this variability systematically — not as a rhythm but as a constantly changing demand.

The application also engages the rear (hamstring) thigh muscles. Sports science describes their activation as important for knee stability and a safe gait.

Sedentary work weakens exactly the structures that secure the spine: the deep, reflexively working trunk muscles. They can hardly be addressed voluntarily — they respond to disturbances of balance.

The unpredictable movement impulses continuously create small balance disturbances and thus reflexive stabilisation work in trunk, pelvis and legs. At the same time the stimuli have a detonising effect on muscular tension.

For corporate health management, time economy matters most: the application takes a few minutes, is done standing in everyday clothing and produces no training sweat — a low-threshold entry point even for untrained employees.

After injuries and surgery it is often not only muscle mass that is missing but the activation: the neural network that recruits the muscles is slowed down by protection and immobilisation. Conventional strength training, however, presupposes exactly that activation.

srt zeptoring® takes a detour here: the fast stochastic stimuli trigger involuntary muscle activation and train muscle control – with low joint and structural load.

This builds a bridge between rehabilitation and performance training: before load is added, muscle control is trained – as preparation for load-based training.

Explosive strength originates in the nervous system: it depends on how many motor units are recruited, in what order and how synchronously. Stochastically randomised stimuli demand exactly this recruitment — hundreds of times in a few minutes.

Because the stimuli cannot be anticipated, the habituation typical of rhythmic vibration does not occur. The training stays new for the nervous system — and therefore effective across longer training cycles.

During periods of heavy load, any measure that relaxes without causing new fatigue counts. The stochastic stimuli can help loosen the muscles without building up high external loads.

In addition, stimulating the muscle spindles can release neurotrophic factors, which are attributed nerve-protective functions. A carrier frequency in the theta range of 3.5 to 7.5 Hz is used for this.

Bone responds to mechanical stimuli. srt zeptoring® generates multidimensional, stochastically randomised stimuli; transferred to bone structures they can stimulate bone metabolism and support adaptation.

Compared with the low-frequency sinusoidal vibration of conventional devices at the same carrier frequency, roughly fourfold greater growth processes are described — attributed to the stochastic behaviour of calcium and other ion channels, which are central to the formation of osteoblasts.
