Senior Exercise Solutions For Active Ageing
HUR’s products and Senior Exercise Solutions are backed by 20 years of scientific research in collaboration with leading universities and research centres in physiology and biomechanics. The unique Natural TransmissionTM system combined with air-resistance technology makes HUR suitable for active ageing, physical therapy and senior exercise.
Research indicates that the correct type of resistance, or muscular, training helps maintain functional ability. HUR equipment allows older people to exercise more safely by reducing stress on joints and connective tissues. Using air as resistance overcomes the additional effort required to lift a static weight at the beginning of an exercise and to slow it down it at the end. Maintaining a more consistent resistance profile reduces stress on vulnerable joints and connective tissues and makes the movement feel ‘smoother’ and easier to execute.

To the casual eye cardio products don't vary significantly between one manufacturer and another, yet it is the small differences that can sometimes make a big difference.
