Company Overview
Deden Technologies, LLC is a Limited Liability Company majority owned by principal manager, Michael J. Deden. Deden Technologies, LLC develops and markets revolutionary Functional Strength Systems for the commercial and consumer strength-training and physical rehabilitation markets. Deden Technologies secondary markets include the medical industry and government/NASA contracting.

History
Deden Technologies product development began in 1986 when Michael J. Deden completed his track and field career at the University of Montana. As a successful track and field athlete, Mr. Deden became highly interested in athletic training devices and techniques. He combined his passion of mechanical engineering and peak athletic performance to develop innovative strength-training equipment that he classified as Functional Strength Systems. In 1999 Mr. Deden founded Deden Technologies LLC and introduced its first product, the KOR TRAINER.

Functional Strength Systems
While the majority of strength-equipment focuses on building muscle by restricting users to predetermined paths of motion and limiting their speed of movement, Deden Technologies focuses on freeing users to functionally enhance their athletic abilities. To achieve this, Deden Technologies incorporates Functional Strength Training - a time efficient training method that maximizes athletic potential by integrating weight training with sport-specific movement. To embody this training method Deden Technologies designs strength-equipment they refer to as Functional Strength Systems. These systems allow users to simultaneously train sport-specific strength, speed and skill against an appropriate opposing resistance system, whose paths of motion and speed of movement are solely governed by the user.

More specifically, Deden Technologies’ Functional Strength Systems are designed to enhance ground-based movements. Technically, ground-based movements are fundamental athletic movements that act to support, accelerate and position an individual’s center of gravity while supported by one or both feet. Ground-based movements are responsible for initiating, maintaining, and altering “ballistic” athletic movements like those incorporated by jumping, running and dodging. While ground-based movements are essential to the existence of sport, they are also essential to basic human mobility. In fact, walking requires a ground-based movement to initiate, maintain and alter it. Ground-based movements utilize the neural-muscular-skeletal systems of the entire body and principally those systems associated with the lower torso, hips, thighs, knees, lower legs, ankles and feet.

The KOR TRAINER
The KOR TRAINER uniquely allows users to increase their sport-specific strength, speed and skill by performing ground-based movements against an opposing resistance system whose paths of motion and speed of movement are solely governed by the user. The result is an extremely efficient means to acquire functional athletic strength and maximize athletic potential.

The KOR TRAINER not only provides an unsurpassed athletic training environment; its clean distinctive looks and rugged innovative construction will be well received by demanding commercial customers. Its whisper-smooth operation and solid feel are attributed to superior engineering, components and construction. Because the KOR TRAINER is designed to develop high-performance athletes, everything about it exceeds industry standards. The KOR TRAINER’s unique and innovative design will make it a highly differentiated product in an industry of many similarities. Deden Technologies is committed to the development of the Functional Strength Systems product line and believes that the KOR TRAINER represents the future of athletic strength-training equipment.
