A total of 13 products were nominated for the FIBO INNOVATION AWARD 2015. Four of the nominated products particularly impressed the jury. The products were honored in cooperation with the TÜV Rheinland Group and the magazine FIT FOR FUN in the four categories "Training Concepts", "Equipment and Design", "Health Promotion" and "Training Equipment". The winners were announced on FIBO Friday at the Innovation Forum in Hall 9.
"Training equipment" category
Award winner 2015: TrakBar Pro-X
Provider: Scotfit GmbH
No more searching for the right bar or the right handles during lat training or on the cable pull-up - the TrakBar Pro-X is a cable pull-up bar and pull-up bar in one and has multi-axis handles. This allows a natural movement sequence and easy handling. The device can be used lengthwise in opposite directions. It therefore offers an unlimited range of movement and enables the user to perform a variety of cable pull-up or pull-up movements. At the same time, it prevents unnatural overloading of joints and tendons. An outstanding example of innovative training equipment, according to the jury.
"Training concepts" category
Award winner 2015: All in one
Provider: five-Konzept GmbH & Co. KG
A concept that promotes maximum independence during training while ensuring high training quality and individual support: The "All in one" is a multi-talent and space miracle at the same time and was therefore able to score points with the jury. Up to three people can train at the same time on just four square meters - with the focus on stretching. Twelve different five exercises are possible on the machine - a concept that would normally take up around 40 m2.
"Equipment & Design" category
Award winner 2015: SLASHPIPE®
Provider: SLASHPIPE GmbH & Co. KG
The SLASHPIPE®is a transparent, liquid-filled training and therapy device. It works with the "chaos principle of water", which creates uncontrollable, surprising, permanently different and therefore highly efficient training stimuli. This optimizes coordination, sensorimotor skills and strength. SLASHPIPE® training leads to a balanced strength potential of the muscles and a fine motor body awareness. Functionality and design work together perfectly here. This convinced the jury.
Category "Health Promotion"
Award winner 2015: Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless
Provider: Jabra GN Netcom GmbH
Talking on the phone while exercising, listening to music and taking your pulse at the same time - with the Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless, a wireless in-ear headset, Jabra increases motivation to move more and at the same time promotes control during exercise. The integrated optomechanical sensor, which enables precise pulse measurement, is crucial here. The high-end headphones play music in Dolby quality and are resistant to sweat, water jets and dust. The accompanying sports app also offers individual real-time coaching via voice prompts.
