Introducing Atras' Medical Gym
Medical gym consists of three separate sections for performing functional exercises, aerobic exercises and working with weights. The functional section of the medical gym is equipped with modern equipment to perform functional exercises and its floor is made of high quality artificial grass. Aerobic exercise section has mechanical treadmill, electric treadmill, air bike, stationary bike, mechanical bike and electric bike, and weight work section also has crossfit structure, exercise machines and free weights.
One of the unique services of Medical Gym is the smart room of Atras sports medicine clinic. This room is equipped with 18 touch screen lights that are randomly turned on and the person’s effort to touch and turn off the lights improves reaction time, increases environmental awareness, improves neuromuscular coordination, and increases the speed of hand and leg movement.
Another medical gym service is the recovery room. This room is equipped with a compression and tennis machine and accelerates the recovery process, especially in athletes after physical exercises. Other medical gym services include massage room, coffee shop, posture assessment room and muscle measurement.

Aerobic exercises include low to high intensity activities that improve cardiopulmonary fitness. The word aerobic actually means the presence of oxygen to generate energy to perform activities. Aerobic exercises are performed in two ways: 1- continuous 2- interval (interval), in the continuous method, a person exercises without rest; For example, 20 minutes of continuous running without rest, but in an intermittent way, a person rests between training periods. For example, one minute of running and one minute of rest (active rest such as walking) is considered an aerobic interval exercise. The energy needed to perform aerobic exercises is provided by glucose and fat, so to reduce blood fat or reduce body fat weight, aerobic exercise is the best type of exercise. An example of low-intensity aerobic exercise includes walking, cycling, stationary bike, elliptical, rowing, and high-intensity exercise including running and jumping rope. Aerobic exercises have many beneficial effects, including improving cardiovascular fitness, reducing the risk of heart diseases, lowering blood pressure, increasing HDL or good cholesterol, controlling blood sugar, controlling weight, improving lung function, and reducing resting heart rate.

Functional exercises are rooted in the field of rehabilitation. Physiotherapists, athletic trainers, occupational therapists and chiropractors often use this type of exercises to retrain movement patterns to patients and athletes with movement disorders. These exercises are designed based on movement patterns used in daily life, so that a person can perform his daily activities independently after a period of injury or surgery. For example, if the patient’s job requires frequent lifting of heavy objects, his functional exercises are designed in the form of squat and lift movement patterns in different movement positions. Or if the patient is an athlete, his functional exercises are designed with the aim of simulating the movement patterns of the discipline in question.
Resistance training is a type of training that increases muscle strength and endurance by applying extra load on the muscles of the body. This extra load can be in different ways, including: Apply free weights, bodybuilding machines, resistance bands and body weight to the muscles. Today, resistance training is not limited to a specific age group, and its health benefits, including increasing muscle strength and endurance, improving body composition, neuromuscular coordination, prevention and even treatment of some metabolic diseases have been reported in different age groups and according to the recommendations of the organization According to World Health and Disease Control and Prevention Organization, people should do resistance exercises at least 2 to 3 times a week.
Reaction time or reaction time is the measure of time that starts from the moment of presentation of an unpredictable and sudden stimulus and continues until the response begins. In the field of movement science, reaction time is the ability to respond quickly, controlled with appropriate posture, to a stimulus such as light or sound. Measuring this parameter is important in the field of rehabilitation and sports. In fact, in many sports, the maximum speed is either rarely achieved or basically not needed, but usually having a short reaction time is very vital and increases sports skill. Also, in many patients, by using this data, it is possible to obtain appropriate information about cognitive or attention problems. In the laboratory environment, this variable is used as an objective method to measure the speed of information processing.
All of us are somehow involved in various activities that make us tired both physically and mentally and we consider different ways to solve them. One of these ways is massage. During massage, the body naturally releases hormones that make you feel fresh and alive. One of these hormones is endorphins. Endorphin hormone is known as the body’s natural narcotic, which has happy and anti-depressant effects. This hormone is also effective in reducing anxiety, improving mood and reducing stress. There are different types of massage, including therapeutic, relaxation and sports. Massage therapy is used by doctors or specialists in this field to treat all kinds of complications. Relaxation massage is recommended to reduce stress and anxiety, and sports massage is used for athletes before, during and after the competition.
Crossfit is a comprehensive sport and includes all aspects of sports. The purpose of creating this sport is to increase the overall ability of the body such as strength, endurance, flexibility, speed, coordination and balance. Crossfit is derived from the mother Olympic triathlon. These three disciplines are gymnastics, weightlifting and athletics. In fact, the exercises that are used in CrossFit today are the exercises that are used for military forces, police academies, boxers and martial artists to prepare them for unexpected situations.
Measurement of muscle strength
One of the physical fitness factors related to health is muscle strength, and measuring muscle strength may be one of the components of the rehabilitation program. Especially if the specialist doctor feels that weakness or imbalance between positive and negative muscle strength is the cause of pain or restriction. There are various methods and tools to measure muscle strength, one of these tools is the isometric dynamometer. With the ability to measure muscle strength in an isometric manner, this device can provide very useful information to the person and the specialist doctor. In addition, this dynamometer can be used as a training device to strengthen isometric muscle strength in different ranges of motion.
Pasture assessment
Body structure analysis is one of the most important topics in health and sports. In addition to affecting a person’s physical health, the abnormalities of the stature structure also affect his sports performance. Abnormalities in the skeletal structure of the body cause diseases and prevent a healthy life. The body structure analysis device is made to measure and evaluate skeletal deviations of the body, including shoulders, neck, lordosis and foot deviations, etc. With the help of this device, treatment can be prescribed with timely diagnosis. The analysis is done by specifying the locations of the joints and computer evaluation by photogrammetry method.
