Overview
MoonRun is a type of suspension training system which trains the body to develop aerobic capacity, core stability, flexibility, balance, and strength.[4] It uses motion sensors and an elastic system, and is designed to provide high-intensity yet low-impact physical training.[5] The equipment enables natural physical movements such as running, walking, sprinting, jumping, turning, and squatting in a virtual training environment.[6]
MoonRun can be used by professional athletes for performance enhancement,[7] and also by people who are unable to exercise because of physical injury or lack of fitness. Developers can also create new virtual training exercise worlds for users to add to the functionality of the equipment.[8][9]
History
MoonRun was invented in 2016 by Jonathan Hoffman, an Australian-educated physiotherapist[10] and human movement researcher from Tel Aviv, Israel.[11] He founded MoonRun when he wanted to develop a novel aerobic suspension trainer for indoor exercise.
Hoffman also invented CoreAlign, an exercise training tool used by athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo.[12]
