German term or phrase: schwebend
Hi,

would someone know what "schwebend" means in this context? It appears in a description of fitness equipment.

"Der Sprinttrainer von ist eine spezielle Trainingsmaschine zur Verbesserung der Sprintfähigkeit und Antrittsschnelligkeit. Beim Training mit dem Sprinttrainer läuft der komplette Bewegungsablauf schwebend ab."

Thanks in advance,

Explanation:
One suggestion prosaic. The other departs somewhat but hopefully gets the sense across better.

Slightly different context but don't think that matters radically:
"just having 'restored' a Nishiki hybrid into a race/cross bike. I use it for winter training and it goes like a dream."
