HAEYVEN is a start-up company in the Netherlands focused on the design, development, sales and service of state-of-the-art elite, performance sports, fitness and medical products.
HAEYVEN has developed the ANTAGONIST®, an absolutely new, innovative and international patent pending full-body strength and cardio training device for bi-directional and uni-directional training. It enables a unique bi-directional training, where agonist and antagonist muscle groups can be trained simultaneously. This realizes a balanced training of agonist and antagonist muscle groups. Furthermore, a wide range of training possibilities, countless exercise variations and unlimited individual training options are possible. The bi-directional and uni-directional training is possible as a whole body workout to the targeted training of individual muscles. The multi-directional cables allow you to move / train bi-directionally and uni-directionally in any direction.
Whether you are looking to increase athletic performance, prevent injury, rehabilitate or improve overall health and fitness, bi-directional flywheel training with the ANTAGONIST® offers a number of benefits. It connects and increases the effectiveness of your strength and cardio workouts, by individually adjusting power during the workout according to the force applied. The resistance responds instantly to the intensity applied during the workout to vary the resistance. Furthermore, flywheel resistance provides less impact loading, minimizing the risk of injury.
The workout is more effective, the time required is less compared to conventional training methods and you burn more calories. Furthermore, the opposite muscle parts are trained symmetrically and balanced, thus preventing asymmetrical muscle development. The bi-directional full-body concept sets new standards for all-in-one training, replacing multiple pieces of equipment traditionally required for a complete training circuit.
The ANTAGONIST® can be used by athletes and therapists for a wide range of training applications. Designed with elite and competitive sports in mind, it offers innovative training methods to professional athletes as well as ambitious recreational athletes. The multiple training functions offer not only the athlete, but also the patient in rehabilitation a motivating option as cardio and strength training equipment for a comprehensive and varied workout. It can also be used for warm-up/cool-down. Furthermore, due to its measurement function, it serves as an assessment and diagnostic tool of physical asymmetries.
The ANTAGONIST® offers an unforgettable training experience combined with unparalleled efficiency and ease of use. The ability to perform strength and cardio training simultaneously dramatically reduces the typical time and space requirements of comparable equipment, while improving control and safety and promoting symmetry and balance. A clearly defined training zone inside the machine facilitates use for standard applications and is also suitable for wheelchair access, for example. User-initiated, responsive bi-directionality warms, loosens, increases heart rate, burns calories and builds muscle quickly and effectively - get ready to sweat and feel great!
