Cybex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYBI), a leading manufacturer of premium exercise equipment for the commercial and consumer markets, announced today the re-branding of its research arm as the Cybex Institute for Exercise Science, with the continued mission of disseminating scientifically accurate information applicable to the disciplines of general fitness, sports performance and clinical medicine.
Under the guidance of Executive Director Paul M. Juris, Ed.D., the entity formerly known as the Cybex Institute will continue to partner with exercise research oriented universities, major hospitals and sports performance organizations nationwide, exploring areas of significant importance, such as cardiac health, obesity, orthopedic impact, sports and human performance.
“The Institute is completely unique in our industry because it has deep roots in academia and medicine,” states Juris. “We’re solely focused on discovering scientific truths and our research outcomes are made public. At the same time, this information plays a vital role in the development of CYBEX strength and cardio training equipment, which adheres to biomechanical principles and facilitates optimized results for users.”
A resource for evidence-based data that help people make informed decisions about equipment, exercise and lifestyle management, the Institute serves as a primary educator for the sports and fitness community through its website – www.cybexinstitute.com – as well as workshops, seminars, partnerships with leading education providers such as the American Academy of Personal Training (AAPT) – the only state-licensed independent fitness education provider in the U.S. – and other activities.
