STAY young – MOVE digital

Scientific background

Why did we open the Digital Move movement studio?

As physiotherapists and active athletes, we wanted to find a way to quickly and effectively restore and maintain health and fitness.
Sintesi’s hybrid system provides an almost infinite range of motion to support this. It combines the precision of computer settings and measurements with a physiotherapy-based exercise programme, guided and adapted to individual needs by a human physiotherapist.

Keep moving

There is nothing new under the sun. Despite the challenges of a modern lifestyle, you need to keep moving. Not so long ago, people had to provide warmth and food with their own hands to survive. They cut wood, worked the land and walked long distances. Movement always had a purpose and was an essential part of daily life. Today, many activities that used to require physical exercise are performed by machines. Land is cultivated, clothes are washed and you can use various means of transport – which is convenient, but can you really sit back and relax?

150-300 minutes of exercise a week for your health!

Your joints and ligaments are designed to absorb forces and your muscles are created to move weights. The elastic fibres in them adapt to load, and they are strengthened under appropriate load. In the absence of load, they atrophy and they can be damaged if overloaded. The extent of their load-bearing capacity is determined by your current physical condition – strength, flexibility and fitness. They are also influenced by a number of biological, psychological and social factors.

Recent research has shown that regularity is one of the most important factors influencing them, along with correctly executed movements. If the form of exercise is tailored to your individual needs with the right ratio of load to recovery, the result is guaranteed.

Unfortunately, there is no elixir of eternal fitness, but the way your body works naturally allows you to heal and strengthen your musculoskeletal system through appropriate, targeted workloads.

Strength in function, health in movement.

Digital Move is a personalised, monitored exercise and training programme.

In our smart gym, we combine traditional forms of exercise with digital control. This hybrid form of training is effective in both sports and rehabilitation.

The Sintesi system used at Digital Move is an innovative, multifunctional station that can reproduce a wide range of movement patterns.

Its electric motors integrated into the cable modules are computer-controlled, providing precise, quantified resistance control. The exercise or exercise sequence is edited by a physiotherapist on the tablet controlling the modules. Different types of loads are simulated: permanent, viscous, elastic, eccentric, isometric, magnetic, vibration, isokinetic and random. This makes an exceptionally wide range of exercises available.

The course of training

At the first session, a fitness assessment is carried out and a model training is completed. This assessment aims to assess general health, everyday working conditions, regularity of exercise and lifestyle. Anatomical condition, joint mobility, coordination and muscle strength are also measured.

The second session already includes a personalised exercise programme. At the third session, a strength and power assessment is made which is then repeated every 10 weeks, documenting the progress. The data is stored in a custom folder created in the Sintesi Cloud.

The age of digital workloads

Constant mode, constant resistance

Working against gravity, typical of manual weights. A maximum load of 1-100 kg can be generated, in increments of 0.5 kg. The modules can be fixed both horizontally and vertically, so that exercises can be performed in any direction, according to the ergonomics of the body.

Eccentric mode

The eccentric range is the negative movement of muscles. It activates 20% of muscle fibres that are responsible for stability and deep muscle strength. This cannot be improved with conventional weights. Adding this extra resistance during Digital Move workouts not only increases muscle strength, but also results in high calorie expenditure.

Auxotonic, spring resistance

In a traditional setting, it is equivalent to using a rubber band. Resistance increases with distance. It helps build acceleration, explosiveness, dynamism. Spring strength and load rate can be adjusted with a click. Unlike with a conventional spring, you get resistance over the entire range of motion, with no inactive range. This type of resistance impacts the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system, the process of circulation and detoxification.

Viscous mode, resistance simulating water

Resistance is provided by acceleration, as if you were running in water. Its rate can be adjusted over a wide range. You can perform the exercises through slowed-down, precise execution protecting your joints. This helps develop the so-called postural system of your muscles – trunk, leg muscles, upper limbs. This system is responsible for the endurance and strength of the muscle fibres coordinating repetitive movements. It can be used both in rehabilitation and as cross-training for dynamic sports.

Vibration mode

In this mode, the joints and ligaments are stimulated by activating proprioception, i.e. the body’s sense of position. By improving this, movement patterns used in everyday life and during exercise are stabilised to prevent injuries.

Random mode

In this setup, muscles are put into a co-contraction state. They must continuously ensure a mid-balance position by randomly varying tension, hold and relaxation. It is used in trunk/shoulder/knee stabilisation.
