PRESSURE REGULATION SYSTEM
AlterG has developed an advanced and very sophisticated pressure
regulation system that ensures the AlterG has extremely accurate
weight control with good reproducibility between sessions. When you
run in the AlterG, the natural bouncing motion of your body changes
the shape and volume of the bag. This effect would change the interior
pressure of the bag and your effective exercise weight if it were not for
the pressure regulation system in the AlterG that monitors and reacts
to these changes. This technology makes rapid adjustments to the
bag pressure, maintaining the pressure in the bag and your exercise
body weight at near constant levels.
AIR SEAL SHORTS
In order to seal users into the AlterG in a comfortable and convenient
manner, AlterG has designed a special pair of shorts. These create an
airtight environment around the lower body, and the zipper provides a
mechanism to quickly attach and detach from the enclosure. The
shorts are easy to take on and off and sealing with the machine is as
simple as zipping up a jacket. The shorts are similar to those worn by
many professional athletes for compression and support during training
activities.
