Globus Kineo Pulley & Squat - Cable and Squat Station

Globus Kineo Pulley & Squat: Cable Column and Squat Platform in One Station

The Globus Kineo Pulley & Squat combines two training stations: a free cable column with a 4 m cable and a squat platform for squats. The resistance is provided not by weights, but by an electric motor (1.6 kW) that controls it in real time—from 1 to 110 kg on the cable column and from 1 to 220 kg for squats, with special accessories allowing up to 440 kg.

This means the station covers full-body exercises, functional training, and squats with eccentric overload, all within a footprint of 185 x 90 cm. It is operated via two 15.6-inch touchscreens, and results are automatically archived and can be exported or printed as a report.

Versions: 5.0 Train, 7.0 and 7.0 Medical

The hardware and training methods are the same for all three versions. They differ in the tests and area of application:

The 5.0 Train is the more affordable entry-level version: you get the full range of functions and only pay for the tests you actually need. The 7.0 and the 7.0 Medical include all tests. The Medical version is designed for use in clinics and medical practices.

Exercises on the Cable Column and Squat Platform

• Squat platform: squats for the legs, glutes, and lower back, with separately adjustable resistance for the eccentric and concentric phases
• Cable column with bar or single handles: e.g. upright and bent-over rows, bicep curls, trunk rotations
• Run & Control: running and sprinting against controlled cable resistance
• Expandable with kits: leg curl, lat pulldown, and squat kit

Use in Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy

The Kineo Pulley & Squat 7.0 Medical is suitable for medical exercise therapy in clinics, rehabilitation centers, and medical practices, for example after orthopedic procedures on the knee or hip or for shoulder problems. Therapists set the resistance for each phase of movement individually and adjust it along the range of motion to match the patient's strength curve: less resistance at closed joint angles, more where the patient can bear it.

• Early phase: isometric training and the Smart-Viskos method, where the patient controls the resistance with their own speed
• Functional strengthening: trunk stability and coordination on the free cable
• Progress monitoring: side-by-side comparison and strength curves on the cable column and squat platform, available as a report for therapy documentation

Use in Competitive Sports and Athletic Training

For sports clubs and high-performance centers, the Pulley & Squat is a compact station for strength, speed, and injury prevention. Because the motor provides the resistance, supramaximal eccentric loads can also be used safely.

• Eccentric squats: more resistance during the eccentric phase than the concentric phase
• Jumping training: plyometric exercises with eccentric overload to increase reactive strength
• Cable sprint training: acceleration against controlled resistance
• Performance diagnostics: maximum strength, power, and side-by-side differences directly at the station

The 7 Training Methods

• Isotonic WIT (with inertia): behaves like a conventional weight
• Isotonic NIT (without inertia): constant resistance without momentum throughout the entire range of motion
• Elastic: mimics the resistance of a band, with separately adjustable resistance for the concentric and eccentric phases
• Smart-Viskos: the resistance increases with the square of the movement speed and is separately adjustable for both phases
• Variable resistance: a customized resistance curve for each exercise, tailored to the strength curve
• Isometric: static strength in a fixed position
• Isokinetic: constant speed, with the resistance adjusting to the force applied

Explained in detail in the article Kineo - Training Methods at a Glance.

Tests and Diagnostics

The 7.0 and the 7.0 Medical include all tests. With the 5.0 Train, each test can be added individually. Tests can be performed on the cable column and the squat platform.

• Maximum concentric strength test
• Concentric maximum strength balance test
• Power test
• Maximum eccentric strength test
• Eccentric maximum strength balance test
• Maximum isometric strength test
• Isometric maximum strength balance test
• Maximum isokinetic concentric strength test
• Isokinetic concentric maximum strength balance test
• Maximum isokinetic eccentric strength test
• Isokinetic eccentric maximum strength balance test
• Concentric/eccentric isokinetic ratio test
• Concentric/eccentric isokinetic ratio balance test

Technical Specifications

Pulley & Squat or Multistation?

The Pulley & Squat features cable column and squat training stations and has a compact footprint of 185 cm in length and 274 kg. The Globus Kineo Multistation also includes a leg extension station for isolated quadriceps training, but requires a training area 305 cm long.
