    Simple & Effective

    Easy to Use in Just 3 Steps

    Turn everyday runs into speed-and-power training.

    1
    Step 1

    Secure the Waist Belt

    Fasten the adjustable strap securely around the runner's waist, positioning the attachment clip at the center of the back so the parachute trails freely behind them.

    2
    Step 2

    Accelerate to Deploy

    Begin sprinting forward explosively; as the runner gains speed, the parachute catches the air and fully expands to create wind resistance.

    3
    Step 3

    Train Against Resistance

    Maintain a consistent sprint against the drag force, focusing on driving the knees high and keeping an upright posture to build strength and explosive speed.

    Evidence-Based Performance of the Speed Training Parachute

    Research shows resisted sprint tools like parachutes add drag to help build acceleration, power, and sprint control for speed training.

    Clinical Studies
    Clinical Studies

    Study 1: A 4-week parachute sprint program in trained sprinters showed faster short sprint performance compared to normal sprint training.

    • 3.3% faster over 0–20 m after parachute-resisted training
    • 1.8% faster over 0–20 m with unresisted sprint training (comparison group)
    • Improved speed was linked with changes in stride length (early phase) and stride frequency (top-speed phase)

    Study 2: A randomized controlled trial found resisted sprint training improved 20 m sprint performance after 6 weeks.

    • 6.3% faster 20 m sprint time after resisted sprint training
    • Results ranged up to 11.4% faster in the study’s confidence interval
    • Traditional power training also improved sprint time, but less at 2.7%

    FAQs

    What does a speed training parachute do?

    It adds wind resistance (drag) while you run, helping improve acceleration, leg drive, and conditioning.

    How much resistance does it provide?

    Up to 15 lb of resistance. Drag increases as you run faster and decreases when you slow down.

    Is this good for long-distance running or only sprinting?

    Both. Use it for sprints and intervals, or for distance-focused conditioning like strides, tempo finishes, and fast repeats.

    Will it fit me?

    Yes. The adjustable belt fits most body types and fits up to a 42" waist.

    How do I wear it?

    Buckle the belt around your waist, tighten it so it stays secure, then attach the chute behind you before running.

    Does it work on windy days?

    Yes, but resistance may feel stronger in high wind. For the most consistent feel, use it in mild wind or on a track/field.

    How do I keep it from tangling?

    Run in a straight line, keep the strap behind you, and avoid sudden sharp turns or stopping on the strap.
