2.  Padded webbing band (10x80cm) fitted with straps. Constructed from seatbelt webbing.  Simple (none fastening) band with two hand grips at end of extended straps.

3.  Ring belt waist band (5cm wide) with buckle  fitted with two straps which have loops at the ends and which may be held or tied to a rope to pull a tyre or other weight.

1.  Chest & Shoulder harness with buckle fastening. Made with seat webbing.  May be used on chest or back (elastic extra see below).

Elastics

a.    10mm shock cord - suitable for lighter athletes.

b.    12mm Latex tubing - suitable for stronger athletes.

c.    14mm Latex tubing - for heavy & powerful athletes.

All elastic should be checked before use as they do wear and lose their elasticity.  Latex is particularly affected by UV light so do not leave it in strong sunlight.

Protective sleeves (included)are used to reduce UV light effect and to act, as a safety-retaining sleeve should the latex break.

Available separately £12.50

Velocity ratio harness - the ultimate speed work device! Two waist bands with a none-stretch rope and pulley system.  Safer and more effective than elastics.

The lead runner pulls a trailing runner who has to run twice as fast to keep up as  the rope shortens over a pulley on one harness.  Lead runner moves 40m and the trail runner has to travel 80m! £94.00

Bullet Belt - This is the original Kytec bullet belt. It is a resistance belt and has the facility to open a Velcro join whilst being used in order to release the runner from the resistance. £84.00

Dynabands

Latex bands used for remedial exercise and for stretching and mild resistance exercise. 4 grades are available-pink (for remedial work), green, purple and grey (strongest).  Price for any colour and simple exercise booklet £6.25

Rolls of latex resistance band each 12m can be used as one length or cut (=9 bands) Three thickness

(a) 0.35mm weakest £21.50 (b) 0.50mm £26.00 (c) 0.65mm strongest £38.50

Parachutes

These have been developed as a result of sports science research in USSR and USA.  They can be very useful as a resistance training aid. Chutes are used to collect air and cause a drag on the athletes and were developed from "parachute brakes" on aircraft.  By changing the size of the chute the resistance on the athlete can be changed.  Two models are available (a) power chute (b) kahuna chute.

KYTEC Power Chutes

These drogues have a unique (patended) resistance adjustment.  There are 4 bridle lines and a sewn parabolic canopy.   This shape gives quicker lift and better flight stability.  They are good for power work for sprinters and jumpers.

These power chutes may be coupled together to increase resistance

These power chutes may be coupled together to increase resistance.

This chute is 3m diameter and can be used in place of a resistance sledge.  If space permits it may also be used indoors.  When using this chute it is possible to change direction and make lateral and weaving movements which makes it appropriate for use with football and tennis players. £97.25
