Cincinnati, OH,
August 21, 2007 – Tim Grover, President of ATTACK Athletics, personally chose the Robbins® MVP system for his new state-of-the-art training and rehabilitation facility designed to meet the demanding needs of professional athletes. “Like all other aspects of ATTACK Athletics, our mission is to enhance the performance of upper echelon athletes through the use of leading edge science & technology. When we began our search for the best basketball court on the market, we quickly learned that all performance systems regardless of manufacturer, deliver good force reduction and ball rebound. But there was only one company that truly addressed the unique needs of the professional athlete and took the interaction between player and court to the next level. That’s why we chose Robbins’ MVP flooring system. Its’ revolutionary patent-pending design is biomechanically tuned to provide ultimate player comfort, safety and game-play performance. In fact, one of the four courts is specifically designed to enhance the rehabilitation process, and one section of the facility will be reserved to test new concepts in soft surface sports flooring design.” Independent research has verified the science behind this system. According to world-renowned Human Performance / Biomechanics researcher, Dr. Benno Nigg, Professor of Biomechanics in the Department of Kinesiology a the University of Calgary, this floor system is “in a class of its own”. Substantial differences exist between MVP and other researched industry standard systems with respect to damping time, vibration frequency, and uniformity. MVP’s unique design, integrates Zero / G®, a force-reducing vibration-damping blanket, with other proprietary and patented system components in a manner that provides a great feel along with extreme uniformity. MVP protects players from the damaging effects of the underlying concrete structure while delivering maximum vibration protection. MVP is specifically tuned to: • Minimize vibration intensity • Shift floor vibration frequency away from soft tissue / muscle frequency • Quickly stop potentially damaging vibrations As a result, the MVP system exhibits low vibration intensity across the entire spectrum of player-critical, soft tissue vibration frequencies – as much as 25 times lower than many conventional systems. In addition total vibration damping time is at least three times faster than most traditional systems. Controlled vibration and tuned frequency improves comfort and decreases unintended muscle activity, which in turn, reduces energy consumption and fatigue. Ultimately that means the athlete will be able to train longer and harder and improve endurance for those crucial moments of the game! * * * Robbins, Inc. is the premier supplier of high performance maple and synthetic sports flooring systems to the arena, education, religious and fitness markets.
