Aquatic Elliptical Trainer

USE: Aquatic arm rowing and elliptical leg exercise for aquatic therapy.

FEATURES: Resistance system with multiple planes of motion for even, balanced resistance and full length elliptical pedals for complete foot support.

Elliptical mechanism is reversible and arm poles may be grasped vertically at different heights to adjust for user size and water depth.

Slight increases in cycling and rowing speed increases resistance levels due the water's physical property of viscosity.

MATERIALS: Solid thermoplastics. Fasteners are pool grade stainless steel. The Aquatic Elliptical Trainer is made from non-corroding materials. No maintenance required.

WATER DEPTH REQUIREMENTS: Minimum water depth for usage is 42 inches (107 cm). Maximum water depth for usage is determined by user height.  Recommended water depth for most common usage is between 48 inches (122 cm) and 62 inches (157 cm).

POOL AREA REQUIRED: 48" X 24" or 122 cm X 61 cm

This patented elliptical motion machine is unique in being the world’s first aquatic elliptical motion machine and offers the same popular elliptical motion found in dry land machinery, but adapted for aquatic use. 

The Aquatic Elliptical Trainer features an upper body reciprocating exerciser with resistance surfaces that are engaged simultaneously with the elliptical leg exercise. 

Elliptical motion can be understood to represent that motion midway between walking on a treadmill and pedaling a bike. With simultaneous use of the upper body exerciser, the Aquatic Elliptical Trainer offers a “total body workout” with the additional health advantages offered by the buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure of water when the machine is submerged for chest deep usage.

The Aquatic Elliptical Trainer’s foot anchoring system is designed for use without the need for footwear of any type. The one-size-fits-all foot binders position the feet safely where they maintain the user in a comfortable, secure position.

Each foot anchoring system is part of a double sided water resistance surface, which together with the user’s legs moving through the water, offers resistance to motion. Slight increases in the rate of machine engagement by the user dramatically increases resistance so that all users will receive beneficial exercise without the need for adjusting any resistance surfaces. Other benefits and features include:

* solid thermoplastic construction that is impervious to pool chemicals allowing continuous submerged use without the need for any type of maintenance;

* a design which is completely safe and secure for all pool users with no sharp edges or protrusions;

* no complex electromechanical or electronic components which can fail quickly in the pool environment;

* pool floor protected by pads mounted on machines base;

* simple relocation to different areas within a pool or ingress and egress to and from the pool is possible by a single person lifting the entire machine.
