Highly developed muscles act as a foundation
“Highly developed muscles are a prerequisite for any kind of physical activity. They are also the basis for endurance training to protect against cardiovascular diseases.”
Top performance through strength training
“You cannot skip strength training for today’s world of high-performance sport, especially as maximum, explosive power and speed are essential when aiming for top performance. As well as improving muscle control via the nervous system, the build-up of muscle mass in the long term can be seen as the crucial factor for achieving a maximum level of power.”

kybun offers top athletes what sport scientists describe as ‘gentle strength training’. It is gentle because the repeated strain of the micro-interval training does not exhaust the muscles due to the regeneration phases.
- “The orthopaedic challenge and the danger of structural damages are noticeably reduced with gentle
strength training (...).”
- “Damage from the lactic acid and the heart rate are significantly lower with gentle strength training;
the same can be assumed for blood pressure.”
- “Motivation often improves thanks to the reduced psycho-physiological burden; The
pain threshold isn’t crossed.”
