Knut Stian Fjellstad, Physical therapist, The Norwegian National Ski team.
The Norwegian National Ski Team, both men and women, are using Redcord for strength training on a regular basis. Especially the new Redcord Mini is ideal for the athletes, because it can be used so easily for strength training and injury prevention. It is small and easy to use anywhere. The Redcord Mini is like a small trainings center all by itself. Athletes like Tor Arne Hetland, Børre Ness, Eldar Rønningen and Trond Iversen bring their own Redcord Mini along to all training events throughout the year. Redcord Mini is a crucial tool in their overall workout program.

Lars Kolsrud, Chief Doctor, Norwegian Olympic Centre
"We have long experience with using this system on our athletes. As an old gymnast I recognize the exercises used in Redcord as the fundament on which to train strength, coordination and balance. The principles are the same if you want to be a better golfer or if you want to regain lost skills or balance after an injury. The ingenious aspect of the concept is that it gives you excellent training no matter what level you are on." See link to recommended exercises by the Norwegian Olympic Traning Centre

David Bombeke, Belgium
"I work as a physiotherapist with athletes of different sports, with the main focus on cycling. I have used Redcord for 1,5 years and it has opened a new world for me and my team. Both the Belgian National Team and a Belgian Pro Tour Team (Silence-lotto) have experienced enormous results in gaining stability and correct positioning on the bike thanks to Redcord and Neurac. Redcord has played an important role the last two years during Tour de France (and the preparation to it), the World's and the Olympic games. Redcord is an important part of their training for most of my athletes." See related article

Sandra Bassot, Swimming Coach, Italy
„Basic swimming principles require a high level of body control and ability to hold the position of the body stable in such an unstable element as water. Single movements have to be rapidly connected into one fluid movement and adapted to water turbulences, waves and drags. Training with Redcord makes it possible for the athletes to simulate these various ‘water situations‘ on land. Redcord allows me as a trainer to split the complex movements that a stroke is composed of into smaller, single elements and train them all functionally.
I have been using suspension training with Redcord for almost two years, and the improvements I have seen in the performance of all athletes are surely not only based on water training. I’ve recognized an improvement in all high technical parts of stroke cycles, starts and turns that are mutually dependent on proprioreception and power.”

Suzann Pettersen, LPGA golf player
"Core training is important for us golfers. I have experienced that myself. Redcord has helped me, and I never enter the course without having trained with redcord. Redcord is now actually the only form of strength training I do."

Kjetil Andre Aamodt, Olympic and World Champion
"For a long time I have had problems with my back. When my physiotherapist started using S-E-T to treat my back, I experienced rapid improvement.
I accomplished good results and I have used Redcord and S-E-T ever since; for both performance training and to prevent injuries. I now consider my back to be strong and stable. This was crucial for me to be able to perform on a high international level. Redcord extended my skiing career by several years."

Lucia Recchia, World Class Skier, Italy
“Training with Redcord allows me to do a higher level of exercise, in less time with little pain. Using Redcord I feel the vast improvements in my coordination and functional training that specifically helps my competitive edge during the winter alpine season. I also enjoy training with Redcord more than conventional strength training because Redcord allows me to utilize many possibilities for the upper and lower body by inventing and improvising with different and challenging exercises. Weight training is generally boring, monotonous and does not functionally translate to my athletic or everyday needs. With the help of Redcord, I can work on the muscles that help me during competition, but also that help me with my daily life and routines; and now that the Redcord Mini is available, I am able to take my training routines with me wherever I go!”

Stephen Seiler, Professor in Sport Science, Agder University College
"Five years of investigating Sling Exercise Training, both with controlled studies and numerous case observations, has convinced me that SET with the Redcord™ system is a fantastic neuromuscular training tool that every athlete should have access to for rehabilitation, injury prevention, and direct performance enhancement. I do not know of a better training method for first identifying functional weaknesses and then improving them with targeted, intensity optimized exercises. The result for the athlete is a neuromuscular system that is better prepared for battle, on the field or court."

Dag Opjordsmoen, Soccer Coach
"To control the ball in all the situations of a match, you must control your body. The requirements for becoming a good technnical soccer player are, as in most sports; good balance, coordination and rhythm. Redcord is a useful and motivation tool to develop these requirements, especially for young players."
