Developing power and effectively transferring it into a sporting context is best achieved working at real-time speed against a sports related surface. The Power Speed Chute enables sports athletes to work indoors (recommended training area of 20metres or more, sports hall or training barn), or outdoors on pitch or track and replicate lines of running encountered in their chosen sport.

This training device is manufactured from high quality nylon fabric and attaches to the user from an internal mesh along a tether cord to an adjustable belt which will accommodate up to a 108cm (42.5”) waist measurement.

·         As you sprint the Power Speed Chute expands with air creating a drag effect.

·         This drag factor loads your sprinting and can help to improve acceleration, speed endurance and high speed direction change.

·         As you run faster, more drag is created and therefore, greater load is experienced.

·         Recommended use from distances of 10 to 200 metres.

Using marker cones, pre-determined routes can be planned that closely replicate the types of ‘running line’ encountered in your chosen sport. For athletes involved in direction change sports, it is essential to mirror ‘characteristic running patterns’ in order to effectively transfer the speed endurance & power gained from using such a device.

Sprinting through plotted arcs, curves, swerves and cutting zones; closely replicates the sprinting dynamics involved in pitch-based sports and effectively becomes a power training device when used correctly and not mixed with fatigue. Quality sprinting mechanics, sports specific distances & lines of running and low volume (until such time as an athlete’s tolerance enables them to sustain increases in repetition), are the keys to success.
