Muhammad Ali

iSPARR has been proven to
- Benefits patients recovering from accidents or illness when access to physical activity is challenging.
- Maintains strength, stamina and dexterity — the essential elements of the recuperative process.
- Highly effective in the treatment of stroke patients and those with Parkinson's disease.
- Provides exercise, movement and cognitive stimulation, all within the same system.
“The will must be stronger than the skill.”
Muhammad Ali
“When working with people either able-bodied or disabled, I have found the introduction of the iSPARR system to be second to none in the overall development of all the boxers throughout the club. Both novice and elite find the iSPARR extremely challenging and report it as the best workout they have ever experienced.”
Dennis has many years' experience within the Amateur Boxing Association of England and created non-contact boxing sessions for people with Parkinson's and other neurological conditions. The pioneering programme is endorsed by England Boxing and Parkinson's UK, with around 20 clubs around the country. His own club is registered as a Regional Disability Hub.
Further research and development
In partnership with the University of Keele
We are working with researchers, engineers and manufacturers to further improve the iSPARR range around the specific needs of our clients. With the University of Keele we are exploring and testing methods to engage deaf, blind and wheelchair users more fully with the iSPARR system.
