In top-class sport, it is a matter of constant further development. We contribute to this with our research work. The results are passed on to interested athletes or institutions. Our work in top-class sport – the individual optimisation of an athlete’s environment – always presents us with new challenges.
Accordingly, it is necessary to initiate and implement innovative projects in the individual areas that are important for the athlete (material development, training methodology, regeneration, etc.). The results of the research and development work go directly into the development of every JumpandReach athlete. We also make them available to external athletes and institutions.
Hypoxia
Pilot project on regeneration effects enters second round
Although the use of altitude chambers and altitude tents is already widespread in professional football, there has been a lack of scientifically supported data on the effects of massages at simulated altitudes.
Project teams around JumpandReach and university professor DDr. Martin Burtscher from the Innsbruck Sports University have been providing the first concrete scientific data and facts on the effect for several years, with the support of the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) and in cooperation with FC Wacker Innsbruck. Based on this, the effectiveness and physiological mechanisms must be pursued even more specifically in further steps.

Luge
After the Olympic victory in 2006, it was time to break new ground with Andreas and Wolfgang Linger. Since the development of the material in luge is largely the responsibility of the athletes themselves, this was the approach to focus on improvements to the equipment.
The focus was on a plan with milestones for the “Project 2010”. Based on the athletic goals, the individual success factors had to be localized and optimized.
In cooperation with the Innsbruck Institute for Sports Sciences, a professor of the technical faculty and two experts in the field of physics, possibilities were discussed and worked out to achieve a further development step in the materials sector.
Electrostimulation
The methodology of electrostimulation is continuously optimized by JumpandReach and international experts. The focus of the competence development is on regeneration and relaxation as well as special forms of intramuscular strength building.
Based on this, our trained specialists (JaR Therapist Platform) are constantly developing their skills and expertise.
The goal is a continuous optimization of the know-how in the functionality of the devices, as well as the targeted use of electrostimulation for amateur and top athletes, as well as for patients in therapies and treatments.
Electrostimulation is used in a wide variety of areas such as herniated discs, back problems, torn ligaments, muscular imbalances, etc.
