What is the Rack? The Rack is a device using static and active stretching principles to achieve increased plantar flexion (increased range of ankle motion) by stretching structures (muscles, tendons and ligaments) in the ankle and in the anterior aspect of the lower leg. Applications:
Swimmers: to increase propulsion from the kick and to decrease drag encountered by the foot on the down kick.
Triathletes: to change the kick from a balancing movement to a propulsive, balancing movement for the same energy expenditure.
Runners: to increase stride length and decrease Achilles tendon stress by decreasing the resistance encountered on the push off.
