Results from internal and third-party VO₂ testing across athletes from youth to pro.

GROUNDED IN PROVEN SCIENCE

Decades of peer-reviewed research prove that resistance weight training delivers real benefits for athletes, especially youth. Leading organizations like the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association confirm that supervised resistance training can:

  • Boost strength by 30-50%
  • Reduce sports injury by up to 50%
  • Improve bone health and confidence in young athletes

KILOGEAR’s MICRO loading weight systems apply these same proven principles and our own third party testing and testimonials show they deliver even greater gains in speed, power, endurance, and calorie burn for athletes from youth to professional levels.
