Discovery Endless-ladder serves as a full body ergometer. serve as a fitness training device for endurance training but also can be used a high load ergometer for competitive sports

  • Climbing up a ladder is a familiar movement pattern to many people and involves many muscle groups The Discovery® can serve as a fitness training device for endurance training but also can be used a high load ergometer for competitive sports and special applications such as fire fighters.
  • Change in the physiological response to ladder ergometer (climbing) change according the inclination of ladder from 75 to 90 it was found that climbing in the 90 orientation was associated with significantly higher oxygen consumption across all speeds as well as significantly higher HR in the slow and medium speeds.
  • Discovery® has also been developed for realistic stress-tests and fitness training in the fire brigade’s training-courses worldwide.
  • The Discovery® has even been used in a special design by special army research centers in environmental chambers under special controlled climate conditions.
  • By using special grip technics and grip positions different groups of muscles are activated.
  • Due to the upright posture the muscles of the back and upper body are trained simultaneously.

  • Performance diagnostics is the basis for optimal training not only in sports. Firefighters as well have to train hard to be able to save lives in the case of emergency. The better the preparation, the more successful the fire brigade’s mission will be.
