As a rule, all the traditional sports trainers are created so that the strains applied to the people using the trainers are created by the people themselves. We lift weights, contract springs and we have all got used to the fact that every trainer's task is to counteract our own efforts.
For the first time, there are trainers that are not subject to that rule. The SkyTec Interactive trainers react to rather small efforts of the sportsmen with applying big forces, which are similar to centrifugal - just as on a ski slope.
Neither springs nor weights but powerful drives, controlled by modern electronics and reacting to the data coming from sensing elements, create these forces. As a result, the sportsman feels the 'curve' forces so naturally that all questions about the possibility or impossibility of the imitation of a ski slope immediately lose all its actuality.
The SkyTec Interactive training machines are the first sports trainers using all the advantages of the modern computers. The software developed for the ski training machines allows you to choose the way of training, different strain levels and the slope profile.
While you practice you can see all the information about the trainings on the computer display: the forces applied, the virtual speed, the slope steepness, the energy spent etc. More than that, a sportsman can see him- or herself on the screen - a skier's silhouette represents his actions and shows the best position in the current moment.
 
And finally, there's the challenge for sportsmen on the multimedia slalom and giant slalom courses where one can try to show the best time. And for the maximum effect one can see the slope on the big screen.
Your aching muscles and a lot of sweat will remind you that it was not a game at all!
