Grip strength has long been a concern for strength athletes; where massive amounts of weights are power lifted. It only makes sense that when a weight lifter lifts a set of weights, that it doesn’t matter how strong the upper body and arm are, if the hand grip is too weak to hold on to the weights. Another sport that has always focused on hand grip is arm wrestling. Again, it doesn’t matter how strong a bicep is, if the grip and wrist are weak.
In the past few years, other sports are catching on to the importance and benefits of having a strong grip, wrist, and arm. However, the wrong training can cause severe injury. Cumulative trauma disorders can easily occur from the use of the wrong techniques and/or equipment.
One of the most effective tools to accomplish increase grip, wrist and total arm
strength - with safety- is the NSD Powerball. This miraculous ball is a grip strengthening device like none other.
The NSD Powerball uses the scientific principles in the field of motion therapy.
It is powered by gyro power- meaning the power comes as a 200 gram rotor spins at around 16,000 revolutions per minute. As the speed increases, the gyroscope device requires more muscle power to control. This is one reason it is the most unique exercising devices on the market. Other exercise equipment uses weights, batteries, electricity, or springs as a power source. This significantly decreases the effectiveness of the workout. Whereas, with the NSD Powerball, the users’ muscle strength will control how much gyro power is produced. Thus, it is perfect for the most trained athlete, or those just beginning to exercise.
The results of the NSD Powerball will be felt all throughout the upper body; from fingertips to shoulders, but especially in grip and wrist. It also helps to refine coordination ability.
Now, that you know what it is and how it works, you may be wondering how it applies to athletes. Here is why all different sports, from rock climbing to horse racing, are seeing how the NSD Powerball improves their ability, coordination, and overall arm and hand strength. It doesn’t matter what sport you are in, if you use your arms or hands in the sport, you can benefit from the NSD Powerball. Let’s take three sporting examples from across the spectrum of sports, and look at how they will benefit from the NSD Powerball.
Martial Arts
Many times the hands are the first body part to come in contact with the sparring partner, competitor, attacker etc.. Of course, they are not just going to stand there. The person is going to twist, turn, and pull away. If you can’t hold on, often your arm is left exposed, and perfect for the other person actually grab a hold of. A strong thumb is essential to submission by pressure points. Whether you are striking, grabbing, gouging, throwing, catching, hand to hand combat, twisting, holding, or submitting… you will need a good grip to follow through the training that you received to perfect the movement. Likewise, the person needs a strong wrist, shoulder, fingers, and arm to prevent injury when placed in submission positions.
Rock Climbing
Every muscle in the body is used when a person hauls their body up the face of an incline. But, any climber will tell you that strength is only one element to rock climbing. The most important element to rock climbing is the weight/grip ratio. Not only does a climber need strength in the grip, but they also need endurance in the grip. Climbers may hold on with just a few fingers, for minutes at a time, before finding another holding point. Thumb strength is vital to a rock climber. Thumbs can grip sideways to a rock, and provide the friction needed to keep the grip. Coordination is needed to switch grips. The forearm works in conjunction to the wrist and fingers to pull the climber forward. A tremendous amount of strength, grip, flexibility, and coordination is needed. The NSD Powerball addresses all of these elements, in just one exercise. No other product can tout that.
Motocross
This is a really physically demanding sport. Many do not realize how much physical exertion it takes to just stay on the bike. Despite a wide range of absorption products on the market today, a motocross riders arms and hands take a serious beating, as the bike hit’s the ground from jumps. Having good arm strength and grip are essential to holding on to the bike through jumps. Likewise, the speed at which a bike is turned requires a strong grip through the turns, else the rider eats dirt. The wrist is naturally frail, and not capable of absorbing the kind of shock that a motocross bike produces. Wrist injuries are probably the most common (non accident) injury in motocross. The NSD Powerball can improve the grip strength, make the arms stronger, and improve wrist strength.
Pro’s love the gyroscope ball because it works 90% of the muscles in the arm, in just seven minutes. Of course, the above are just a few of the sports that can benefit from a gyroscope device like the, NSD Powerball. Football, hockey, wind surfing, tennis, golf, basketball, baseball, horse jockey’s, etc… Again, name any sport that you use your hand, arm, finger, or shoulder in…and the NSD Powerball can benefit it.
