SKLZAcceleration Trainer Release Resistance Training Belt, Black

Awesome training tool. Our athletes have enjoy doing different workouts with it besides just running. We need to buy a couple more.We use it for lateral movements, back pedaling, teaching power step and sprinting. One of our best tools in our tool box right now.

Great for drills

I liked the design of this in comparison to the Bullet Belt I use for my sprint, speed training. Easier use of allowing the release belt when its time to let the athletes run.

Items arrived as described. I love the assortment of products SKLZ has to offer for training. Incorporating the acceleration trainer into track sprinting workouts is definately paying off.

A great item for speed training. Use it on my son almost daily.

The purpose of the acceleration trainer is to create resistance, released certainly after the start of the run, to enhance speed.Holding the runner back requires a partner or coach.The runner wears a belt which incorporates a ring, and the partner holds a strap which is released after the athlete's movement begins.Included are a sturdy belt which is easy to get on overhead or up from the ground, and a strap which has bungee cord elasticity to absorb some force and prevent the partner's being knocked over. The pieces come in a carrybag, making it easy to bring to field or track.The box promised videos were included. They weren't, but SKLZ has several acceleration trainer videos posted to YouTube, which teach how to use the device and also give sport-specific workouts.I've read reviews suggesting the belt isn't as strong as it could be, and if I were a 300# football player my opinion might be different, but it seems quite sturdy to me. (I'm less than half that size :) )

Great tool for any S&C coach. Comparable to the Bullet Belt. Love SKLZ products.

Great for helping athletes develop explosive movements
