Athletic Development Services
The Athletic Republic was founded in the 1980’s by North Dakota native John Frappier, an exercise physiology and kinesiology graduate from Kansas State. In 1991, St. Alexius purchased the first Acceleration license. Since that time, The Athletic Republic has grown to be one of the premier sports training programs. It currently has training centers in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Brazil and Australia.

The program features proprietary equipment such as treadmills and sport cords helping athletes achieve a neuromuscular response by running at top speeds of 28 mph and at inclines of 40% grade. The sport cord technologies create a sport specific response without excessively overloading the joint’s capabilities.

This program features progressive conditioning levels leading to several professional levels. The program can be used as a pre-season conditioning program, an ideal post-season conditioning program or part of a year-round training program designed by the professionals at the Human Performance Center.

Acceleration programs use a combination of:

• Plyometrics
• Resistive cord technology
• Weight training
• Super treadmill
