Evidence-Based Practice: Suspension Training
Suspension training isn’t just another fitness fad. It’s backed by solid research and real results.
You’ve probably seen those straps hanging in gyms. Maybe wondered if they actually work. Here’s what the science says.
What Research Shows About Suspension Training
Studies from the American Council on Exercise found suspension training burns 400+ calories per hour. That’s more than most traditional weight training sessions.
Your core works 3x harder during suspension exercises compared to floor exercises. Every movement forces your stabilizer muscles to fire.
Research published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning shows suspension training improves:
- Functional strength by 35%
- Balance and stability by 28%
- Core endurance by 42%
Why It Works So Well
Your body weight becomes the resistance. No need for heavy equipment or complicated machines.
Every exercise is unstable. This forces your entire body to work together. Just like real life movements.
You can adjust difficulty instantly. Move your feet closer or further from the anchor point. Beginner to advanced in seconds.
