How to Use the SKE: Quick Guide
The SKE is a state-of-the-art device for muscle strength training, particularly for the lower extremities. In this guide, we will explore in detail how to use the SKE to maximize the benefits of your training.
1. Preparation of the device
Saddle and handlebar adjustment
Before starting training, it is essential to properly adjust the position of the saddle and handlebars to ensure comfort and safety. The ideal position should mirror that on a bicycle, allowing natural and effective movement during pushing.
Recommended clothing
It is not necessary to wear specific clothing. A pair of sports shoes with a not-too-soft sole are sufficient. Tennis shoes or sneakers are perfect; quick-release bike shoes are not necessary.
2. Start of training
Access and settings
If you have already used the SKE, you can log in with your personal account. For a quick workout, simply enter your weight in the field provided in the software.
Warm-up
Start with a warm-up of about 5 minutes. Push at a comfortable pace, gradually increasing resistance to prepare your muscles for the workout.
3. Performance of the exercises
Setting up the exercises
You can set exercises manually on the device's touch display or select them via the dedicated app, after synchronizing it with the SKE. The software and app monitor your progress in real time, showing values such as force and power applied to the pedals, and indicate when the current set is finished. The GUI automatically switches to pause to allow for the desired or recommended recovery. After the recovery time has elapsed, the interface automatically returns to the exercise screen
Alternating pushes
The pushes are performed by alternating one leg with the other. Between each push, take a short pause to inhale and prepare for the next push by contracting your abs, as in weightlifting. Exhale as you push, maintaining a stable pelvis position on the saddle or standing.
Increased Resistance
Adjust the resistance of the hydraulic brake using the appropriate control. You can vary the load from very low (ideal for rehabilitation) to very high (over 200 kg), allowing you to train strength, power, endurance and coordination. Hydraulic resistance ensures smooth and quiet pedaling at all times during training.
Increased Power
In exercises where the goal is to increase power, pushes are performed without any pause between legs; the movement is continuous— as soon as one leg reaches down, the other begins to push.
Monitoring and Feedback
Use the display to monitor data in real time. Advanced measurement technology provides feedback on each push, helping you optimize your training. You can monitor strength, power, speed and other essential parameters to improve your performance.
4. Breathing and stabilization techniques
Breathing Control
During pushes, it is critical to control your breathing. Breathe in deeply to prepare for the pushup, contracting your abdominals, and exhale as you perform the pushup. This helps maintain good oxygenation of the muscles and improve performance.
Use of the body
The SKE provides a complete workout, involving not only the legs but also the core, shoulders and arms. During thrusts, keep the body stable by using the abdominal and core muscles to stabilize the movement and maximize the effectiveness of the workout.
Conclusion
Using the SKE is an effective and safe way to improve muscle strength, power, and coordination. By following these guidelines, you can maximize the benefits of your workout, monitoring your progress in real time and pushing your limits with each session.
