Product Description
Features & Benefits: Variable wind resistance feels like water. Develops aerobic endurance & anaerobic power. Precise force measurement system. Electronic monitor for accurate measurement of: Time, distance, pace, stroke rate, force, watts. Repeatable performance testing and training. Indoor racing without the pool! Plus, you can do many functional training exercises for rehabilitation, injury prevention, and general conditioning. The Vasa Ergometer allows athletes to simulate swim strokes by pulling on cords that drive a fan flywheel with variable wind resistance. It's like a "swimming treadmill" that provides excellent endurance exercise. You can vary the resistance, your stroke rate and your stroke power to fine tune each workout from light, range of motion, rehab work to swim-set simulations to race intensity simulations to maximum power intervals. Kayakers and canoe paddlers can connect a paddle shaft to the drive cords to simulate paddling endurance or anaerobic interval workouts. Cross country skiers can kneel on the bench to simulate double poling and single poling exercises. You can also attach ankle straps for leg exercises or use the exercise handles for a variety of functional upper body exercises. The Vasa Ergometer's patented force measuring and electronic monitor provides accurate measurement of time, distance, pace, stroke rate, right and left arm force and watts. The Vasa Ergometer's precise force measurement system allows for repeatable performance testing and training. This ensures that measurements taken over time and on different Vasa Ergometers will be accurate and comparable. The Vasa Ergometer monitor displays the following performance measures: Time: keeps track of the elapsed time of your workout Meters: The number of meters accumulated since beginning the workout. Average Watts: Average power output in watts since beginning the workout. Calories: The accumulated calories expended during the workout. Pace/100M: Average speed per 100 meters.

4 out of 5 stars wonderful exercise and swim training   October 18, 2008
I had used a VASA back in HS so many years go to maintain my stroke when my knees would act up. This is just as successful and it is very easy to put a good half hour a day on the machine which allows you to monitor progress via simulated meters, calories or watts
