The Pro-Tug Machine can allow Tug Of War Teams to compete online, eliminating factors such as cheating and miscalculations of weights, it is capable of reading as little as .1 of a kilogramme, it not only registers the weight of an individual but also the pressure the entire team is producing. When the machine recognises the pressure it responds to this and moves according to the force of the team.
This innovative Pro-Tug machine replicates the isometric contraction and body position associated with Tug of War competition. The device also simulates live opposition by maintaining constant resistance on the rope, allowing athletes to train in a more match-specific manner. Most importantly, this device allows athletes to scientifically quantify the resistance on the rope. This enables athletes to train more efficiently by constantly evaluating training methods and gauging progress.
