Science of freecrossing
The results of the first Freecross study – conducted by the German Sports University Cologne under the direction of Professor Ingo Froböse – prove the effectives of freecrossing for boosting calorie burn, building endurance, strengthening muscles and providing a low impact workout for the joints. “Freecross is the perfect fitness machine for having fun and burning calories in a short amount of time,” sums up project head Felix Matthäi from the University’s Center for Health (Zentrum für Gesundheit). “The calorie burn is about 35% higher than biking, assuming the same velocity.” At the same time, the cyclical motion means reduced strain on joints, tendons and ligaments. The study also demonstrates that the full range of fitness enthusiasts – from beginners to high-performance athletes – can benefit from Freecross’ fun and effective full body training.
