efi Sports Medicines Total Gym PowerTower: Unsurpassed Athletic Training and Rehabilitation Benefits at the Touch of a Button
When injury strikes, a professional athlete must often place his or her career in the hands of an athletic trainer. That was the case when San Diego Chargers quarterback Drew Brees suffered a potentially careerending shoulder dislocation that required immediate surgery. As the season ended, many questioned whether he could return to his original form. The only people who didnt question his comeback were Brees and his athletic trainer, Todd Durkin, M.A., C.S.C.S., owner of Fitness Quest 10, a health and human performance center located in San Diego, Calif. From rehab to high-level athletic training, Durkin relies on Total Gym PowerTowerTMthe electronic version of efi Sports Medicines flagship incline training apparatus, Total Gymfor its unparalleled convenience and effectiveness. We put Drew on the PowerTower early in the reconditioning process, says Durkin. We needed to increase his range of motion before transitioning to higher-intensity activities. The PowerTower makes it easy to change positions or adjust the intensity with just the push of a button. Brees was able to start throwing again just four months after surgery and was back in top form for the start of the 20062007 season.
All-in-One Machine is Powerful Tool for Athletic Trainers
Ask Durkin about the PowerTower and hell give you a laundry list of benefits: improved strength, hypertrophy, flexibility, balance, power, endurance, joint integrity and core strength. And hes just getting started. The PowerTower is the ultimate all-in-one machine, explains Durkin. Its well-designed, space-efficient and extremely versatile. And it uses an exercisers own body weight and provides a wide range of intensities, which makes it ideal for everyone October 2006

from high-level athletes to senior citizens. Durkin is one of countless athletic trainers who have discovered the advantages of training clients on the PowerTower. efi Sports Medicine, the trusted leader in functional exercise equipment for the physical therapy and athletic training market, has created the number one piece of equipment for athletic trainers and physical therapists across the country. Designed, engineered and manufactured to meet the rigorous needs of the most demanding clinical environments, the PowerTower was created for wellness centers, clinical therapeutic exercise, athletic training and high-performance, functional sports training. Durkin knows a thing or two about the specific training requirements of athletesalong with Brees, he counts San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson, 2005 Heisman October 2006
Trophy winner Reggie Bush, and some 25 other NFL superstars as clients. In addition to increasing total-body strength, he uses the PowerTower to train his athletes for a variety of skill sets, including power and balance, and to enhance range of motion and flexibility. There are so many different factors that can contribute to the success or failure of an athlete, Durkin explains. Rotation, for example, is a huge factor in just about every sport, including tennis, baseball and, of course, golf. I can put a client on the PowerTower and have them perform a variety of torso rotation exercisesincline or decline, while lying down, seated, kneeling or even standing. With so many exercises, we can really maximize muscle fatigue without having to transition between different machines. The PowerTower engages all muscle groups with more than 200 strength, flexibility and Pilates exercises on
infinitely adjustable and calibrated levels of incline resistance. The PowerTower offers multi-plane upper and lower-body stretching and strengthening exercises. It offers a ground-breaking dynamic pulley system that adjusts to a clients girth and height to allow for optimum force angles specific to each individual.
Core Strength: The Foundation of Athletic Training
When it comes to training athletes or just about anybody, for that matteryou cant overlook core training. If you want to be successful in sports or life, you have to train the core, Durkin explains. It is the powerhouse of the body. In fact, sixty percent of your power is generated from your core. It provides a strong pillar in which you can be a strong, fast, powerful and explosive athlete. One of the advantages of a
piece of equipment like the PowerTower is the significant amount of core activity in most all exercises. The PowerTowers rolling incline glideboard and cable pulley system provides an unstable, gravity-loaded environment that requires the client to recruit core muscles of the stomach and back to maintain stability. This occurs during most PowerTower exercises and is especially beneficial for athletic performance training. PowerTower provides unlimited incremental increases in resistance from 3% to 72% of the users body weight and 12 levels are pre-calibrated at 5 degree increments. At the press of a switch, an athletic trainer can increase or decrease the resistance load during an exercise in progress. This results in fewer transitions and a more cohesive exercise session. The PowerTowers Folding Platform and wide-based Telescoping Squat Stand fold compactly against the glideboard during storage. The Folding

Foot Holder, used for hamstring curls, ab crunches and more, locks into place for use and then easily tucks away. It also adjusts to
single- and dual-leg plyometric exercises using a variety of foot positions to efficiently increase an athletes power output.
The PowerTower is an ideal way to safely increase fast-twitch muscle fibers with much less impact on the joints.
accommodate larger foot sizes. The Squat Stand adjusts to three height settings, facilitating correct biomechanics for squats, bridges, calf raises and plyometric exercises. The PowerTower is an ideal way to safely increase fast-twitch muscle fibers with much less impact on the joints, says Durkin. We can do
PowerTowers Time-efficient Workouts Appeal to Athletes and Non-athletes Alike
Athletes arent the only ones who can appreciate the effectiveness and efficiency of a PowerTower workout. Durkin regularly surveys his clients about their use of the PowerTower. My clients, both men and women, really enjoy the versatility of a PowerTower workout. They know that they can get a great workout in just 30 minutes because they can quickly flow from one exercise to the next. No matter what your clients are training for, whether it is for restored function and mobility, performance training, endurance, stability, muscle mass or a lean physique, PowerTower can offer the functional training you want.

October 2006

Durkin agrees: Whether your client is an older adult, a housewife, a young person or an athlete, you can challenge them equally using the PowerTower.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In the event your PowerTowerTM does not function properly, there are steps you can take to determine where a problem may have occurred. Please follow these troubleshooting directions: 1. Power source. Make sure that the Power Cord (S) is plugged into the PowerTower and the wall. Check and determine that the plug on the wall is switched on. If there is a ground fault interrupter, check to see if it has been tripped. 2. PowerTower Power Switch. Make sure that the On/Off Switch (T) on the Tower (A) has been turned on. The light should glow red to indicate that the power is going into the PowerTower. 3. Fuse. If the red light indicator on the Towers (A) On/Off Switch (T) is not glowing, check the fuse located near the power outlet on the back of the Tower (A). Follow 5A fuse replacement instructions in the IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POWER TOWERTM section (page 4) of this guide. 4. Power Cord. Make sure the Power Cord (S) is not damaged. If Power Cord (S) appears damaged, go to Step 8 below and call Customer Service. 5. Support Strut. Make sure the Support Strut (N) is free of any objects that may have been placed on top of it. Handles (U), Dynamic Arm Pulley System (D) cables and pulleys, Folding Foot Holder (E) or any other objects will engage a sensor on the Support Strut (N) and cause the Electric DC Motor (R) to cease to operate. 6. Support Strut wires. If the wires that connect the Support Strut (N) to the Tower Base (P) have been damaged or broken, the PowerTower will not operate. Go to Step 8 below and call Customer Service. 7. AC voltage. An interruption in the flow of voltage can cause the PowerTower to cease functioning.

Make sure the Safety Key (ZX) is inserted into the connector hole located on top of the Tower (A). Your PowerTower will not operate if the Safety Key (ZX) is not in place. 9. After troubleshooting. If there is still a problem after checking all of the above items, please call 4900 to speak to a Customer Service Representative. 26

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Your PowerTowerTM will offer you or your rehabilitation or wellness facility and your clientele years of easy operation if you follow these simple tips for maintenance and care. With periodic cleaning, moving parts and rolling surfaces will maintain their smooth function. Use chrome or car polish on all chrome parts to keep your PowerTower looking its best and to prevent dust build-up. Clean rail surfaces on a regular basis with a non oil-based window cleaner. CAUTION: DO NOT use any lubricants or silicone based products on the rails or rollers. This will cause the rollers to slide rather than roll, and will damage the rollers. You may use lubricant on the bearings, folding hinges and chains when needed. When lubricating these parts, remove any residue of lubricant from the cables, rails or roller surfaces. Clean the Glideboard (G) material with a non oil-based window cleaner. DO NOT use Armor All or like substances. These will make the glideboard slippery. Wipe down your PowerTower with a clean cloth. Check and/or tighten the shoulder bolts in the rails weekly.
Periodically check the following parts for signs of fraying, cracking or wear: Power Cord (S) Handles (U) Dynamic Arm Pulley System (D) Cables and Nylon Coating Pulleys Rollers Glideboard (G) Folding Platform (I) Telescoping Squat Stand (H) Frame Tower (A) Tower Base (P) Up/Down Switch (ZZ) Foam Rubber Parts Replace all parts that show signs of wear. Contact Customer Service at 800-541-4900.
