The science
The science behind Roket Gear 3S training
Roket Gear is built on one core principle: specificity. The best way to improve a movement is to train that movement. Whether you're on the ice or on the pitch, Roket Gear adds resistance to the exact mechanics your sport demands, helping you build strength, speed, and power where it matters most.
Why we built it
We built Roket Gear because athletes don't just need to increase strength and power, they need strength and power that transfer to game performance. The goal was to add resistance to real sport-specific movement without changing the way athletes naturally move.
That means you can train harder through the same mechanics your game demands, building speed, power, and stamina where it counts.
Three principles, not two
Roket Gear is built to do what traditional training tools can't: combine real adjustable load with sport-specific movement. While bands, parachutes, and other weighted products typically use only two training principles, Roket Gear brings all three together, adding measurable resistance in pounds without changing the way you move.
Overload
Add real, measurable load that challenges your muscles to work harder with every movement.
Progression
Increase resistance over time with precise, adjustable weight you can control.
Specificity
Train the exact movements your sport demands, so the gains transfer directly to the game.
Safe and effective. Proven in the lab.
Roket Gear was tested at the University of Calgary Human Performance Lab to measure how athletes moved with added load on each leg. Soccer players performed five key lower-body movements, jog-to-sprint transitions, kicking, circle runs, V-cuts and running jumps, with loads ranging from 1.5 to 3 lb per leg.
- Athletes maintained their speed with the added mass.
- Natural movement patterns stayed relatively unchanged.
- Lower-leg mechanics, including knee and hip angles, were not altered.
That means Roket Gear adds real resistance without altering your natural movement, helping you build strength, speed, and stamina through the same patterns you use in the game.
Why specificity wins
Every athlete needs to build their engine, aerobic endurance, strength, and power. Off-season and off-field training can help build that foundation, but strength only matters when it transfers to the game.
You don't practice dribbling, kicking, agility, edge work, shooting, or stickhandling in the gym. Those skills are developed in sport, at game speed, under pressure, and in real competitive situations.
Parachutes and resistance bands can build strength, but the resistance doesn't match how athletes move in real play. That means they don't train the same movement patterns or muscle coordination your sport demands.
True power isn't just about bigger muscles. It's about training the right muscle groups to fire together, in the exact way you use them in your sport. That's specificity. That's transfer. That's why Roket Gear was built.
Sensory input tells your brain to recruit faster and fire the right muscles.
That training shows up as more speed and power when it counts.
Train the way you play.
Practice time is valuable, on the field or on the ice. Use it wisely with Roket Gear.
