Difference between
Hydraulic based equipments and Weight based equipments: -
|
HYDRAULIC
BASED EQUIPMENTS |
WEIGHT BASED EQUIPMENTS |
|
Hydraulic based equipments are based on the latest Hydraulic
principle. |
Weight based equipments are obsolete and out dated. |
|
These equipments do not rely upon gravity, i.e. a person
accomplishes/achieves twice as much positive workout within the same
amount of time as compared to Weight based equipments. In other words it
cuts down the workout time by half as compared to the weight based
equipments. |
Weight based equipments are directly related to gravitational
force. |
|
Machines based on Hydraulic principle are 100% safe and can be used
by any age group (from 5years – 85 years) by both male and female, as it
adjusts automatically and continuously to the strength, power, the speed
output and the need of the person using it. |
They are risky, dangerous, unsafe, prone to injuries or accidents
and different health ailments/ problems. |
|
Hydraulic based equipments, combines the best of Isotonic,
Iso-kinetic and Isometric exercises. |
Only Iso-kinetic benefits are attained in Weight based equipments.
|
|
In hydraulic machines the resistance varies depending upon the
speed and the force applied, i.e. Higher the speed at which the force is
applied, higher the resistance will be and lower the speed at which the
force applied, lower will be the resistance. In no case it can over strain
the muscle groups unless a person tries himself by applying more force
than his capacity. |
In case of conventional weight based machines, the person doing
workout gets tired after sometime. He is forced to lift the same weight,
with which he started. Eg. Suppose he starts his workout by lifting 50 kgs
weight. After 2-3 minutes he will get tired, then either he will have to
take rest in between for 5-6 minutes for next set of workout or he will
have to reduce the weight, say from 50 to 49-48-47-46-45-44-43-42 and so
on which is not practical in case of weight based machines.
|
|
A person can start doing his workout from any position and leave
anywhere even in the mid-way, very safely without any fear of accident
because nothing will or can come crashing down on him/her. |
A person has to start his workout from a fixed starting position
and leave at a fixed leaving position. |
|
Hydraulic based equipments are designed mainly for FITNESS. These machines are not for bodybuilding
but they can be used for bodybuilding. |
They are basically designed for bodybuilding and not for
FITNESS. |
|
These machines give aerobic benefits, i.e. Hydraulic based
equipments increases fitness level and improves body-shape by fast and
repeated workout. |
Aerobic benefits are not possible in these equipments. |
|
Circuit training i.e. set of repeated series of exercises, is very
easily attained in these machines. |
Circuit training is not possible in these equipments. |
|
These machines provide maximum conditioning in minimum space and
time with maximum safety. |
These machines occupy lot of space and workout time is 4 times
higher than Hydraulic equipments. |
|
There is no sound generated when a person does his daily workout on
these machines. |
They generate lot of sound disturbing other people/ members, when a
person does his workout. |
|
They are portable and freestanding as they does not need any
foundation/fixing to the floor/walls and can be moved anywhere at any
time |
They require foundation i.e. fixing to the floor, for a person to
start his workout. |
|
These machines uses, no chains, no cams, no cranks, no water
buckets and gravity acting weights, which can make people hurt themselves
while exercising. |
These machines uses, chains, pulleys and weights for workout. |
|
Hydraulic based equipments can be placed directly on the floor.
Thus one can keep the workout place more Hygienic by avoiding carpet or
rubber flooring. You can have marble or granite flooring which is easier
to clean and is more hygienic. |
In case of Weight based equipments, a carpet or rubber flooring is
a must to avoid damage to the floor because there is fear of weights
falling on the floor and to get rid of the ‘Bang-Bang’ sound while doing
workout. Carpet flooring is not hygienic and rubber is prone to
allergies. |
|
These machines do not need a supporter/instructor on every time
workout, as these machines keep on adjusting automatically and
continuously to the need and capacity of a person every time he uses. |
A full time instructor/ supervisor is required for ladies and gents
separately in case of these machines. |
|
It is essential to do workout with one side positive and one side
negative for proper muscle development. These machines improve Aerobic
endurance, flexibility, muscular strength, cardio-vascular conditioning
and stamina. The user gains maximum flexibility, as there is no chance of
stiffness in the muscles and minimizes the risk of building very stiff
body. |
The consequence of exercising on weight-based equipment is,
development of very thick muscles and stiff body resulting in sprain very
often. |
|
Due to busy schedule, if you stop workout on Hydraulic based
equipments there is no chance that your muscles will hang and leave the
bones. |
If you stop workout on weight-based equipments, your muscles will
start hanging and will leave the bones in the later age. The result can be
seen from the body builders who have stopped their daily workout.
|
|
These machines need hardly any maintenance. |
These machines need regular maintenance and servicing. |
|
These machines are the best for rehabilitation as they help in the
quicker/faster recovery of a person from illness and attain back his
fitness level. |
Not good for rehabilitation. (If used, it should be used under
supervision of qualified person). |
