DIVE DEEPER
Suspension Training reduces the risk of injury in military personnel
Eight weeks of suspension training three times per week improved physical performance and reduced injury in Navy troops.
TRX exercises are effective in treating lower cross syndrome
TRX exercises can improve upper and lower extremity function of middle aged women with lower cross syndrome by increasing strength and efficiency of core muscles.
TRX improves muscle strength and range of motion in athletes suffering from lower back pain
TRX contributed to improving the muscular strength and flexibility of the spine in high jumpers aged 25-32 with low back pain.
TRX Suspension Training is effective in treating age-related sarcopenia
TRX Suspension Training can improve walking ability, endocrine regulation, blood pressure, blood glucose, bone density, and energy metabolism in the elderly.
TRX training can induce effects similar to CrossFit
Both functional training methods - Crossfit and TRX - lead to an improvement in body composition and endurance strength.
TRX exercises improve balance in older men
TRX exercises can increase static balance time and decrease dynamic balance time in older men, reducing risk of injury & treatment costs in as little as 12 weeks
TRX Suspension Training is effective in treating functional ankle instability
TRX training significantly improved the proprioception accuracy and muscle strength in the ankles of female athletes with functional ankle instability.
TRX Suspension Training can contribute to proper sports conditioning
A mixture of traditional exercises, suspension exercises, and other conditioning methods can maximize athletic performance.
Acute effects of suspension exercises on muscle activation
Research suggests that over time, bodyweight suspension exercises could promote greater improvements in muscle endurance than barbell exercises.
TRX Suspension Training benefits police college students
Suspension Training’s musculoskeletal and core-strengthening outcomes are beneficial to the everyday tasks of law enforcement.
TRX Suspension Training is beneficial to swimming performance and injury prevention
TRX training in dryland exercises improved female synchronized swimmers’ core strength, stability, and quality of movement.
Suspended push-ups stimulate abdominal muscles
Suspended push-ups are highly effective in stimulating abdominal muscles, while elastic-resisted push-ups can mimic the effects of a high-load bench press.
The benefits of leveraging Suspension Training for older adults
All study participants noted positive effects of Suspension Training after 12 weeks, primarily around improved strength.
TRX Suspension Training can help with chronic lower back pain
This study suggests that TRX hip abduction in plank and the TRX hamstring curl can improve outcomes for adults with chronic lower back pain.
TRX Suspension Training generates greater shoulder muscle activation than stable push-ups
Suspended push-ups elicit greater activation in stabilizing muscles (i.e., traps and triceps) than stable push-ups do.
Suspension Training exercises boost core muscle activation
Suspension exercises strengthen core muscles in young and healthy adults, more than similar exercises performed on stable surfaces and Swiss balls do.
