The Sprinter Stick by Intracell – Muscle Therapy for Track Running is a muscle massage tool that is designed to simultaneously compress and stretch muscles.
The primary benefit of the sprinter stick to runners is that it’s use eliminates "trigger points". Trigger points are contracted bundles of muscle, which feel like bumpy tender knots. Muscles containing trigger points feel tight, fatigue quickly and often hurt. The sprinter stick extinguishes these trigger points by rolling the sprinter stick back and forth over the entire length of the muscle. This relaxes the muscle bundle, improves circulation, increases range of motion and relieves pain. The Sprinter Stick makes a great gift for people who do track running.
- 19" length
- 10 ounces
- Designed for the well-developed legs or people who do track running
- Most rigid of the short models
- Increases flexibility
- Extends endurance
- Accelerates recovery time
- Reduces muscle soreness, stiffness & pain
- Prepares muscle for rigors of activity

Foam Rolling or Body Rolling is a form of self-massage used by fitness enthusiasts, athletes and therapists to relax or “release” tight muscles. This form of massage is designed to increase elasticity of connective tissue therefore relaxing the muscles allowing them to respond more efficiently and effectively during activity.
Foam Rollers can be an invaluable tool for core development, stabilization and strengthening. Foam rollers can also be used to enhance balance for everyday activities or sports. Rollers come in various sizes ranging from 12” up to 36” in length and are usually 6” in diameter in full or half models. The longer rollers are typically used for massage as well as postural alignment. Whereas the shorter rollers are ideal for acute massage or make an excellent travel companion for on the road self massage. The half round versions are sometimes used to enhance some balance exercises or to decrease the need for balance for other exercises. Either way, foam rolling is a bonus to any exercise routine!

Tennis Twist® was designed especially for beginning tennis players. Its compact size and easy operation make it an ideal first ball machine for kids just starting tennis. If a child can swing a racquet, he or she can play with Tennis Twist.
EASY TO USE
Tennis Twist is simple to use. Just turn it on and it shoots a ball every five seconds. The arc of the ball can be adjusted anywhere from 12 to 20 feet in length. The unique spiral design holds up to 28 balls.
Tennis Twist is available in AC and battery-powered models. The Battery model will operate up to ten hours on six ‘D’ size batteries (not included). Tennis Twist’s adjustable range makes it practical for use in driveways, backyards, and even basements. And since it weighs just 11 lbs, it’s easily transported to the local tennis courts or park.
The high-impact plastic case comes with a convenient built-in carrying handle. But don’t ask a kid about the convenience of Tennis Twist, they’ll just tell you how much fun it is.
NOT JUST FOR TENNIS
Tennis Twist can also be used to toss batting practice for beginning baseball players (using tennis balls). Tennis balls are safer for kids, and won’t break windows like baseballs.
