Acronym for Functional Alpine Ski Training, it designates a training method specifically designed for athletic training dedicated to alpine skiing. Skiing is a complex, technical, combinatorial, situational sport, the execution of which, although carried out in a standardized way, is subjected to numerous variables characterized, on an athletic level, by high muscular tension (over 3 g of acceleration in turns, corresponding to more than 300 kg) and wide joint mobility. For this reason, in the FAST KIT we find tools that involve strength exercises characterized by destabilization and a full range of motion, hence coordination and ability to stabilize the joints. For this reason, in the FAST KIT we find tools that involve strength exercises characterized by destabilization and a full range of motion, hence coordination and ability to stabilize the joints. The objective of this strength-conditioning work is to improve all the specific neural and metabolic capabilities of the athlete starting from strength in all its components: maximum strength, explosive strength (power), elastic-reflex strength, resistant strength .

• 9012/3 LOW HEX BAR  (click HERE for the video) It is the central tool of the method. Enables strength training with deep squats, dynamic and destabilizing multiplanar exercises.

• 8054 FLOW-Bag  (click HERE for the video) The water moves inside the bag. The tool completes, in terms of proprioception, reactivity and general strength, the work done with the Low Hex Bar. Being equipped with different grips, it allows the performance of both traditional movements: deadlift, squat, etc. both of ballistic movements: swing, snatch etc. increasing the coordination between the hips and the shoulders, as well as the global stability of the body in the multi-planarity of the movements.

• 0606 Hip band (click HERE for the video)  Loop elastic band used as a complementary tool in hip flexion and extension exercises, especially squats, in order to obtain greater activation of the gluteus minimus medius and the tensors of the fascia latae.

• 9123 Ghd & Sissy Squats – Hamstring Bench  (click HERE for the video)  Hamstring Bench Two tools in one: Hamstring Bench and Sissy Squat. The Sissy Squat performed using a bench is an exercise for training the quadriceps which reproduces the condition of the load being pulled back which can occur during skiing action. Hamstring Bench (Nordic Norwegian Curl) is effective in training part of the posterior muscle chain (hamstring muscles, trunk muscles) mainly through eccentric (load slowdown) and isometric (load arrest) failure exercises. The 9123 bench, combined with the fundamental deadlift exercise, makes it practical to train all types of muscle contraction (isometric, concentric, eccentric) and therefore all the force production components.
