Mr. Kelvin Miyahira recently returned from a visit to the US Olympic Training Center where he met Vinny Comiskey, the Head Athletic Trainer and Kim Shipman, Strength and Conditioning Coordinator. They were excited to learn of the latest developments he had made in the area of speed training products.

He was able to introduce them to many of his devices and they understood how this would take their athletes and training to another level. We talked of how this made core training more specific and faster, enabled higher levels of muscle recruitment than doing medicine balls, increasing rate of force development, training deceleration phase for injury prevention, well as using it for rehabilitation of an athlete at high speed, high force levels instead of low speed, high mass levels.

They also liked the idea of using the jump chain to increase the speed and safety of exercise rather than trying to jump with 135 lbs. of dead weight on one’s back. Thus many athletes will be using the SpeedChains for a variety of sports they have there

SpeedChain Inventor Kelvin Miyahira recently visited to train with Softbank Hawk coaches and trainers, introducing them to the SpeedChains as a means to increase bat and throwing speed.

 After swinging the chains a few times, Mr. Oh said that he could see how it would be good for power as well as being fun to use. It was an awesome experience and a pleasure to train the Softbank Hawk coaches and trainers in use of the chains to increase their bat speed, throwing velocity and intensity of core training.
