Innowearable x Reboots
Study results
Proven improvement in regeneration
Our goal at Reboots is to provide innovative and effective compression massage solutions that enable athletes to achieve their athletic goals through improved recovery. In order to have the effectiveness of our compression massage devices objectively evaluated by an external company, we have started a collaboration with Innowearable. Innowearable was able to prove a significant effect of the reboots on the regeneration of the neuromuscular system (NMS) with their innovative Inno-X™ sensors.
The study management
About Innowearable
Innowearable is a leading technology company from Sweden specialising in the development of innovative wearable devices in sports and sports medicine that monitor and improve athletic performance. Their flagship product, the Inno-X™ sensor, integrates EMG and IMU technologies to provide detailed insights into neuromuscular activity and fatigue, helping athletes and researchers alike to understand and improve recovery processes.
The study structure
The study participants attended two three-day training camps on two different weekends in September in Sweden. The first group served as the intervention group, the second as the control group.
The athletes each completed 3 cycling sessions of varying intensity in order to test the effect of the reboots after different intensities. One training session took place per day of the training camp.
The training sessions:
Grin and Bear It: High-intensity intervals
Long distance: Sustained effort at different intensities.
The Wringer: Intervals with progressively decreasing rest periods.
The aim of the study was to test the effect of the reboots on neuromuscular regeneration.
In order to measure the regeneration and fatigue of the leg muscles, two different exercises were used to test the muscle response to electrical impulses from the brain.
Squat Jump
Wall Squat
The measurements were carried out using the Inno-X™, a sensor that uses electromyography (EMG) to measure how quickly the muscle reacts to stimulation from the brain. The inertial measurement unit (IMU) in the Inno-X™ was also used to measure when a movement ultimately takes place.
The measurements were also repeated at 4 different times per training session.
Before the training sessions
15 minutes after the training sessions
95 minutes after the training sessions
195 minutes after the training sessions
For the statistical analysis, an ANOVA (analysis of variance) was used to compare the variances of the mean values (or average values) of the different groups
El gráfico muestra claramente que el grupo de intervención tuvo que gastar significativamente menos energía para realizar los movimientos del salto de sentadilla después de la sesión de bicicleta de alta intensidad.
The graph clearly shows that the intervention group had to expend significantly less energy to perform the squat jump movements after the high-intensity bike session.
So after intense 1 to 2.5 hour cycling sessions, the use of reboots has been shown to speed up the recovery of your neuromuscular system (NMS) compared to passive recovery alone. This means that your NMS, which plays a crucial role in muscle coordination and performance, can return to its pre-workout state faster with a 45-minute reboot session.
Furthermore, this improvement in NMS recovery is not limited to endurance muscles. A 45-minute reboots session after an intense cycling workout can also significantly improve NMS recovery in conjunction with explosive exercise.
CONCLUSION
What does the result mean for you?
Reboots should find a place in your regeneration routine!
The measurements showed that our compression massage devices effectively accelerate the regeneration of neuromuscular fatigue. In particular, they showed increased performance during explosive exercises after high-intensity training sessions.
This means: the more strenuous your training was and the more explosive the demands on your body the next day, the greater the positive effect of the reboots on your regeneration!
So if you have a long run, a 180km bike day or an intensive football match in your legs, the use of reboots should be indispensable for you if you want to be able to call up your performance again the next day!
