Pelleres™ is a revolutionary new concept in sports technology that uses advanced biomechanically designed body weights to simultaneously strengthen and stabilise an athletes core. In strengthening an athletes core this power balancing technology increases balance and propulsion for greater overall performance.
Pelleres™ are weighted arm sleeves that wrap around the forearm and are biomechanically designed to increase the power and strength of an athlete when used during exercise. By adding weight to the forearms Pelleres™ strengthens not only the muscular structure of the upper body but engages the core which improves the capability of large muscle groups like the quads, glutes and hamstrings. This in turn creates greater power for an athlete and enhances overall performance.
Pelleres™ capitalise on the well known and thoroughly researched exercise principles of overload and functional training to increase core strength. By applying weights to the forearms an imbalance is instantly created in the upper body which overloads the body and engages your core. As the core muscles work harder to compensate for the imbalance, the core is simultaneously strengthened and stabilised. When the body is overloaded with weight it is forced to adapt and become more powerful.
There are four different weighted Pelleres™ arm cuffs ranging in size from small to extra large. The weights vary from 200 grams, 350 grams, 500 grams to 750 grams. Weight choice depends on the type of exercise or sport involved. High intensity sports such as running and jumping suit the lighter weight of 200 grams on each forearm, whereas low intensity forms of exercise like walking or yoga benefit from the heavier weight of 500-750 grams on each forearm. For athletes wanting to increase resistance and harness the principles of overload training a heavier weight can be used. Pelleres™ are made from lightweight, breathable material which fit snugly over the forearm and allow full range of movement. The weight is evenly distributed along the forearm in a sleek design which is not only fashionable but makes you feel powerful just but pulling them on.
Extensive research has been conducted, and continues to be carried out by scientists, elite athletes and accredited sporting associations on the positive effects of Pelleres™ on performance. Pelleres™ harness the well known and highly regarded principles of overload, resistance, and functional training to strengthen the core muscles. Pelleres™ uses the principles of supercompensation and biomechanics to improve your output. While all the laws of training are important, the principle of overload is the foundation of every fitness regimen. By overloading the forearms with weights, stress is created and the body is forced to adapt by engaging the core. As the body adapts the initial response is fatigue, then recovery. This increased recovery and adaptation stimulate supercompensation which takes you to a higher level of fitness, allowing you to feel stronger, more powerful and greater.

As the core muscles strive to overcompensate for the imbalance the core is simultaneously stabilised and strengthened. When the body is overloaded with weight it is forced to adapt and become more powerful. Pelleres™ also allow an athlete to enhance their functional training of weight bearing exercises targeted at core muscles without restricting the body’s natural range of movement. By weighting the forearms the body is less prone to injury than if the weighted device was placed in the hand or at a distance from the body causing stress to the shoulder, neck and torso.
The benefits of Pelleres™ can be harnessed by numerous sports from high intensity activities like running, cycling, tennis, rugby, soccer, golf, football, volleyball, baseball, cricket and athletics right through to low intensity activities like walking, yoga and pilates. The power balancing technology of Pelleres™ simultaneously strengthens and stabilises an athletes core whilst increasing propulsion and performance. They are scientifically designed and engineered to optimise and improve your body’s overall performance capabilities, regardless of the level of activity you undertake.
Pelleres™ are worn by major Australian sporting teams and individuals because they deliver immediate results. The benefits can be utilised by elite athletes, competitive sports people and anyone enjoying a fitness regime.
