An update from Rogers Athletic

As of May 11^th, we are able to resume our production and shipping to their full capacity. We are very happy to be able to resume these activities so that we can serve you and the rest of our customers and partners!

Thank you for your patience over these past few weeks and thank you for working with us.

Our thoughts and prayers are still with those who are fighting this pandemic. As was shared previously on social media, ROGERS has been active during the past few weeks. We had an opportunity to partner with a leading medical technology company to supply components to produce a bed to support the COVID-19 fight. The bed is a patient platform that was developed to serve those on the front lines of the crisis.

Now that we have resumed building our core products again, we can begin to quickly ship products that are in-stock. We are now able to provide accurate shipping dates for products yet to be manufactured as well. We are moving quickly to begin the manufacturing process so you can have your equipment as fast as possible.

Our sales and office staff are continuing to work from their homes at this time and are taking phone calls and responding to requests from the website. If you need any assistance, please contact us here or call our office at (800) 438-4499. If you’ve been working with a representative directly, you can contact them as well.

Thank you again for your patience during this difficult time. We look forward to serving you!”

Closed And Open Chain

Open kinetic chain exercises of the lower limb are movements, where the distal segment is unloaded and free to move. The opposite is true of closed kinetic chain exercises, whereby there is enough resistance to prohibit free motion.

Closed kinetic chain exercises are movements such as squats, Pendulum Squat Pro, leg presses and lunges, while open chain exercises are actions like leg curls, leg extensions and the Pendulum Reverse Glute Ham.

The kinetic chain can be understood as interrelated joints and body parts working with one another during motion. This creates a chain of events that affects the movement of neighboring joints and segments.

The advantage of open chain movements is that they tend to be better at isolating muscle and often are selected for specific rehabilitation and used to accentuate performance. While closed chain movements in general would be classified as more functional and closely approximating movements that are used in sport and daily life.

2-for-2 Method

Some trainers, coaches and athletes use what is called the 2-for-2 Method for increasing training load. The rule is if the trainee can perform two or more repetitions over one’s ‘repetition goal’ in the last set of an exercise, for two consecutive workouts, the weight is added for that particular exercise the next training session.
