The Science of Fitness Engineering

Fitness Engineering is:

the engineering science used to design devices and methods to replace, bypass or reinforce, normal

to conditionally weakened, disabled, missing or injured areas of the human (or animal) body, to

allow the core attached muscles, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, to be

deeply, fully and comfortably strengthened (exercised) and then maintained.

For people too old or disabled to walk or swim Fitness Engineering will allow them to build and keep body core strength and cardio stamina in minutes a day without ever compressing a single joint or vertebrae, and do this in at least as much comfort as just laying in bed.
For amputees and paralyzed people this is the science that engineers devices to cause and oppose contractions of just their core attached muscles, deeply and long enough to simultaneously provide powerful cardiovascular exercise.
For people with Diabetes, Morbid Obesity, MS, Muscular Dystrophy, and virtually any imbalance or weakness causing health problem this is the science that will allow them to rapidly build up and maintain strong bodies and hearts.
For people with a wide range of back problems, this is the science that can keep their spines elongated and unloaded while their back muscles, body cores and hearts are still deeply strengthened.
For companies that offer health products this science will open new markets from over a hundred million people worldwide who would have never before considered them, when fitness was out of their reach.
For health Clubs and Wellness Centers this science will provide devices and training opportunities that will not only attract millions of new higher end (cost) members, but will provide truly empowering results that must be maintained to be kept. Basically Countless millions of new members that don't fade away.
Fitness Engineering is not going to cause modern fitness devices and methods to become obsolete. It is the exact opposite because this is the science of devices that bypass the problems preventing countless disabled people from using them. By relieving to eliminating joint stress and compression healthy anybody will be able to apply far more muscle and far less joint, into exercise.
Fitness Engineering will stimulate countless other markets beyond fitness devices, and health centers, health foods and vitamins, sporting goods, athletic wear, orthotic and prosthetic makers (and schools), water fitness trainers, certification colleges, all aspects of the hot tub and swimming pool industries, and likely be the largest boost ever for the bionic device industry (and schools) just to name a few.

For Athletics:

Imagine a fully extended hanging steel chain that has different sized links, some are larger, some smaller and it is loaded with weight until it breaks. If no other forces are involved it will break at its weakest link, and thus its strongest will not get the chance to push its limits.

The more the weakest links are reinforce, the harder the big strong links can be applied.

If you reinforce the weakest until they can carry more then the strongest links, then the strongest become the weakest links and now the big muscles can be pushed to their full potential, every time, and the weakest get the rest.

The greatest athlete on earth still has hips that are immensely stronger then their knees, so any exercise (like running or squats) which drives all of the forces through the knees, cannot allow the hip muscles to ever develop to their highest level because their knees would fail long before that point.

Fitness engineering will design devices to greatly reinforce and exaggerate the functions of knees ankles leg bones and feet, (also elbows - hands) or bypass them entirely.

By artificially reinforcing the weakest parts of the human mechanical function the huge body core muscles (including opposing) can be exercised to their limits while they are running, without any worry of harming or wearing out the knees or anything below them.

Fitness Engineering will supply exercise and training enhancement devices that do not replace their currant fitness devices, but instead help them drive them much harder.

Because this is an engineering (not a medical) science, it is based on tracing muscle effort, resistance and loading forces, exactly as an engineer traces structural forces on buildings bridges and towers.

Just as force tracing exposes where, how and what must be designed to keep the structure standing, it will also cover a new range of devices that know when and how to block divert or absorb any overload, compression and impact forces during games, meets and practices, simply to prevent injuries. This is the science that will also greatly lengthen athletic careers.

Fitness Engineering should be able to bring Brett Favre back in 10 or so years. That is if he ever really retires.

Fitness Engineering will also open a new area for bionic sports enhancements (still powered by muscle (not artificial power like the Bionic Man shows). This may not be acceptable for traditional pro or college sports, however it could be like a blessing for today's disabled children by giving them a way to play the same popular sports like, or even with the normal kids.

That is what Fitness Engineering is.
