Universities - Take control over your Exercise Interventions and Speed Up your Time to Publish
HUR offers a complete research environment, which enable you to take full control of the exercise interventions. The equipment offer a near zero starting load which means that also weaker people are able to take part in the studies.
HUR SmartTouch control enables a resistance increase of 100grams, (1/4 lbs) increments which means an improved accuracy. This means that you can detect even minor of statistically significant changes, which would be undetected with conventional equipment. The system also keeps track of everything the person is doing at every given training session and the documentation is done automatically.
Oxford Brookes University – UK
Set in a historic student city, Oxford Brookes is one of the UK’s leading modern universities and enjoys an international reputation for teaching excellence and innovation as well as strong links with business and industry.
In total 18 HUR SmartTouch strength training devices were delivered to the university including 9 HUR Hi5 Equipment with Easy Access option, which is designed to meet the specific needs of wheelchair users and those with mobility and sensory impairments.
SportsMed Products had interviewed Dr Peter Wright, Programme Lead Sport & Coaching Sciences.
"HUR Training Equipment will be used for teaching of health and rehabilitation, but also fitness related modules and expose students and staff to the equipment and technology around it. In addition, HUR equipment will be used for research in special and clinical populations.
I am planning to set up a university based charity next year which will allow externals to come in and conduct specialist rehab interventions, i.e. cardiac rehab, exercise for diabetes patients, pulmonary rehab, cancer rehab and possibly orthopaedic conditions. This will be done in collaboration with local hospitals and other stakeholders.
The plan is to also use this for work placements of our students and a research platform in order to have access to these populations.” says Dr Peter.

This will speed up your time to publish and guarantee the validity of the research data. Mundane tasks of collecting the data is done automatically.
The unique automatic update feature will increase the loads as the person progress and the software also estimate the one rep maximum at any given training session. This means that the progress can be tracked continuously and more accurately throughout the entire intervention.

Metropolia University of Applied Sciences is Finland’s largest university of applied sciences located in Helsinki and it educates the professionals in the fields of Business, Culture, Health care and Social services, and Technology.
This collaboration will benefit various kinds of innovation projects, project collaboration as well as students learning environment.
HUR’s latest Smart Technology exercise equipment were delivered in Metropolia's brand-new Myllypuro Campus, which aims to bring together people-focused expertise where well-being, built environment and healthy future are developed together.
“We at Rehabilitation Degree Programs are expecting a new learning environment based on smart technology that will bring modern learning experiences to students, as well as innovative R&D collaboration between Metropolia and HUR,” says lecturer Anu Valtonen.
