Unlabelled: Flywheel training is a relatively new method used to train the human body with continuous resistance and eccentric overload. The performed exercises result in improvements of strength and power, hypertrophy, muscle activation, muscle length, and tendon stiffness. Other positive effects of flywheel training are athletically relevant improvements in things such as speed, jump height and change of direction. The positive results can be explained by the eccentric and power characteristics of the training, making flywheel training ideal for use in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Flywheel training can be used for injury prevention, training after a period of unloading, tendon and muscle rehabilitation, as part of post-operative rehabilitation, during late stage sport specific rehabilitation as well as for fall prevention and treatment of sarcopenia among elderly. The purpose of this commentary is to inform physical therapists about the use of flywheel training in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
Level Of Evidence: 5.

The Acute Effect of Different Cluster Set Intra-Set Rest Interval Configurations on Mechanical Power Measures During a Flywheel Resistance Training Session.
Sports (Basel)

Department of Health and Sport Sciences, South East Technological University, Kilkenny Road Campus, R93 V960 Carlow, Ireland.
The aim of this study was to compare the acute effect of three cluster set (CS) intra-set rest intervals (15 s, 30 s, and 45 s) on mechanical performance measures during a flywheel resistance training session. Twelve amateur male field sport athletes attended three training measurement sessions (separated by 14 days of wash-out), consisting of four sets of nine repetitions (as cluster-blocks: 3 + 3 + 3), using a 0.050 kg·m inertial load.

Objective: This study compared the effects of Flywheel Resistance Squat Training (FRST) vs. Traditional Resistance Squat Training (TRST) on lower body strength in female collegiate basketball players.
Methods: Nineteen participants were randomly assigned to either the FRST group (n = 9) or the TRST group (n = 10) through a random number draw.

Objectives: Inertial training, also called flywheel training is more and more popular among sportsmen. The available data concerning the effectiveness of inertial training compared to conventional resistance strength training are contradictory. The aim of this study was to compare the impact of inertial training (IT) vs.

Article Synopsis
- The driving environment significantly affects vehicle dynamics, causing issues like slow starts, vibrations, and performance instability.
- A longitudinal-vertical coupled dynamics model has been created to analyze how different driving conditions impact Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) vehicles during starting, considering multiple factors including torque, gear stiffness, and tire deformation.
- The model’s accuracy is validated by comparing simulated results to experimental data across various road conditions, showing a strong correlation and confirming the model's effectiveness in studying DCT vehicle dynamics.
Effects of flywheel resistance training on countermovement jump performance and vastus lateralis muscle stiffness: A controlled study.
J Sports Sci
November 2024
Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Primorska, Izola, Slovenia.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of an 8-week resistance training using flywheel (FW) device on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance and resting stiffness of the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle. Physically active adults were randomly assigned to a training intervention group (T; = 18) and a control group (C; = 13), which received no intervention. Jump performance variables and ultrasound-assessed resting VL shear modulus were measured before and after the intervention.
