Cybex International has received the FIBO Innovation Award 2012 for the patented Progressive Stabilization system featured on its Bravo Press and Bravo Pull strength machines.
The award was presented at the annual FIBO trade show on Friday, April 20, in Essen, Germany.
Ray Giannelli, senior vice president of research and development for Cybex International said: "We set out to combine the advantages of isolative strength training equipment with the advantages of cable press and pull equipment, and Progressive Stabilization was born."
Multi-function cable systems traditionally provide a variety of movement options in one machine with limited stability and strength gains.
Single-function fixed-path equipment traditionally provides stability and increased loading with limited movement variety.
Using Progressive Stabilization, Cybex's Bravo Press and Bravo Pull are claimed to be the first multi-function cable training stations offering the stability and strength potential found in single-function, fixed-path equipment along with the expanded movement variety typical with multi-function cable training systems.
