Made in USA for Over 40 Years
|
The SportCord was developed in the early 1980's by physical therapist
Topper Hagerman and athletic trainer John Atkins as a means to keep the US Olympic Ski
Team in shape while traveling. It proved to be an effective tool for maintaining strength
and rehabilitating athletic injuries, and is now used by athletes and physical trainers
worldwide.
SportCord was one of the first stretch cord exercisers, and is still the best, due to its
unwavering commitment to quality and functionality. |
SportCords Are Built Tougher to Last Longer
|
| SportCord uses a bungee-type resistance cord that's constructed from
multiple strands of rubber and covered by a tightly-woven, high-strength nylon jacket.
This protective jacket does four very important things: |
- It extends the life of the rubber core by shielding it from oxygen and UV light.
- It prevents any rubber from contacting the user. (Important for latex-sensitive
individuals.)
- It prevents sudden breakage of the cord. (The jacket will support the cord's full load
even if all of the core's rubber strands break.)
- It signals when the cord needs to be replaced. (Cuts and other localized damage to the
cord will cause the jacket to fray long before the cord is weakened.)

SportCord Accessories are Versatile and Easy-to-Use
|
| The ends of SportCord's cords are terminated with steel snap links,
which connect to steel D-rings on SportCord handles and other accessories. This attachment
system provides a strong, secure connection, and also makes it easy to change from one
accessory to another. With a resistance cord and four basic accessories, you can quickly
set up dozens of different exercises. |

Door Anchor
Use the Door Anchor to secure either the middle or end of a resistance cord to a doorway,
column, or railing. |

firmly cushioned grips. |
