Cord Technology
SprintCord™
The Frappier Acceleration SprintCords are patented, lower-extremity, resistance-training cords implemented during running or hockey program sessions and during floor work. These special training cords are applied to legs or any lower portion of the body to intensify a sport-specific workout.
SprintCords enable proprioceptive recruitment of the specific neuromusculature associated with sprinting (on land or ice) and other related motions. As a result, they can build powerful motions for sprinting, jumping, kicking or other sport-specific motion.
PowerCord™
The Frappier Acceleration® PowerCord™ is a patented training aid that utilizes cords to provide upper extremity resistance to the arms, trunk and shoulders for better movements in sports such as hockey, basketball, volleyball and baseball/softball.
Similar to the SprintCords, the PowerCord™, along with a specialized training protocol, helps to build sport-specific power skills such as shooting, throwing and hitting. The PowerCords are used in conjunction with the sport specific training protocols for volleyball, baseball/softball, basketball and hockey. Adaptations for any sport specific movement utilizing the upper extremities will benefit from the use of the PowerCord™. Athletes looking for improvement in any sport-specific movement utilizing the upper extremities will benefit from using the PowerCord™.
hittingcord™
Optimizing the mechanics taught by coaches, the hitting program, utilizing the HittingCord™/Harness, recruits all muscles involved in swinging a bat, a golf club or a tennis racquet to develop greater swing speed and hip rotation. Players from the youth to professional levels are using this training technology to achieve excellent results for baseball, softball and golf.
Frappier Acceleration Sports Training incorporates specialized resistance cords into sport-specific training, so athletes can improve the skills needed to maximize their athletic potential in their sport(s).
kickingcord™
Our patented KickingCord™ engages the specific recruitment of all muscles involved in kicking, developing optimal kicking mechanics and concentric and eccentric strength—which contribute to a successful program, with documented results in NFL place-kickers and punters. Athletes in soccer and the martial arts benefit, as well.
throwingcord™
To improve throwing velocity, we combine our training protocol with the patented ThrowingCord™, manipulating the neuromuscular system and developing strength and mechanics specific to throwing a baseball, softball, football or even javelin. We have observed an average improvement in throwing velocity of 4 miles per hour with college players, and every player from youth through professionals have witnessed improvements in throwing velocity.
