What is SuperSlow®, High-Intensity Strength Training?
SuperSlow High-Intensity Strength Training is an exercise philosophy and exercise protocol. Nautilus and MedX* founder Arthur Jones developed the theory underlying this philosophy. The Nautilus philosophy dating back to the 1970’s was to slow down the repetition speed, thereby eliminating force, the main cause of injury. The theory, referred to as SuperSlow, was refined and developed in 1982 by Ken Hutchins, a research theorist, for use in a research project on osteoporosis sponsored by the Nautilus Sports/Medical Industries at the University of Florida Medical School. Hutchins continued to refine the slow application with over 8,000 one-on-one workouts between 1982 and 1986. *Both are types of exercise machines.
