How To Use The Top End Speed Running Parachute

The Top End Speed Running Parachute is simple, portable, lightweight, and easy to own, store, set up and use during any training session, indoors or out. Since the Adjustable Adjustable Belt and the 54 Inch Wind Expansion Parachutes are easy to put on and take off, an entire team can share one or two products during a circuit training session, but each individual can also use a single Adjustable Belt for simultaneous drills and workouts.

The 54 Inch Wind Expansion Parachutes are designed to open as a sprinter moves forward at top speed, catching the air and creating drag that can help the athlete build core strength, stability and speed. These are attached to an Adjustable Adjustable Belt that can be securely attached to one Parachute or multiple chutes depending on the experience level of the athlete and the requirements of a specific training session.

But before teams and individuals can get the most out of the Top End Speed Running Parachute, they’ll need to understand how to attach the equipment to the body and how to build a training session or exercise around the benefits of this device.

Attaching the Adjustable Adjustable Belt and Running Parachute

Before using this or any other form of resistance training equipment, athletes should make sure all the pieces are available and the gear is functional and in good working order. Each kit should contain an Adjustable Adjustable Belt that can be used by athletes of any size, and two 54 Inch Wind Expansion Parachutes that can be clipped to the Adjustable Belt using the small carabineers on the Parachute and the metal D ring on the Adjustable Belt.Attaching the Adjustable Belt will be very simple. Athletes can simply loop the Adjustable Belt around the waist and feed the end strap through the oval ring. Then the end strap can be pulled tight until the Adjustable Belt is snug enough not to move freely around the torso, and the Velcro strap can be locked down. Athletes can then rotate the Adjustable Belt around the body until the metal ring is positioned in the center of the back.The Adjustable Belt should be positioned at the center of the waist, not too high that it interferes with the athletes center of gravity during the run, and not so low that it rests on the hip bones. Athletes and coaches can view the video to see how high and how tight the Adjustable Adjustable Belt should be positioned.Once the Adjustable Adjustable Belt is in place, athletes can pick up the clips that are already attached to the 54 Inch Wind Expansion Parachutes and clip the Parachutes to the metal ring on the Adjustable Belt. The clips are designed with springs that close automatically, so users can simply press the movable part of the clip against the the ring and the clip will lock in place. Users should always make sure the spring is working and the clips are functional; if not, contact Kbands right away for help or a replacement.One Parachute will provide plenty of resistance for less experienced athletes, and two Wind Expansion Parachutes can be used for more advanced sprinters who have plenty of experience with resistance running drills. 

The Parachutes will open automatically as sprinters leave the dig phase and gain full speed, but in order to maximize the benefits, teams should remember that less is more. Use the minimum amount of resistance necessary to create drag and challenge the sprinter to generate more drive in the hips and core.If the resistance level is too high, and the athlete’s running form is overloaded, arm position and tilt can be compromised and the benefits of the drill can be diminished. The resistance shouldn’t be high enough to keep athletes from engaging the arms and leaning the body forward during the dig phase in a natural way. And in the meantime, the athlete’s balance should stay stable and the upper body should be properly positioned over his or her center of gravity. 

The resistance level should make the sprinter feel as if top end speed is ten to fifteen percent more difficult than the same run would feel with no resistance in place. Athletes can practice running with the expansion Parachutes in place to gain a feel for the ideal level of resistance. Once the resistance equipment is securely attached, and the proper level of resistance is identified, athletes can launch into a training session that maximizes the benefits. During any extended sprint, the 54 Inch Wind Expansion Parachutes will open and create the necessary drag using only the applied force of the running athlete against the air.
