ASSESSMENT

  • 3D Motion Functional Movement Assessment
  • Biomechanics, kinematics of core & mobility movements
  • Lower body muscle activity testing
  • Reaction time, agility & explosiveness testing
  • Baseline concussion assessment
  • Gaze tracking and visual focus testing
  • Sensory perception and peripheral vision testing
  • Diet Assessment

PREPARE & Enhance

12, 24, or 36 sessions’ performance training programs Private Sessions with Sports Physiotherapist, Sports Scientist, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Sports Nutritionist and Sports Psychologist.

  • Strengthen riders arms, legs for power, balance and speed
  • Increase explosive strength
  • Increase endurance
  • Reduce risk of lower body (Hip, legs, knees, ankles) injuries due to foot work
  • Reduce risk of rotator cuff, elbow and wrist injuries due to stress and overuse
  • Improve movement efficiency
  • Increase angular velocity and momentum
  • Improve hip mobility
  • Improve eye hand coordination, sensory perception and reaction time via sensory training
  • Meal Preparation

INJURY PREVENTION

  • Dynamic Stretching (warm up) and Static Stretching (cool down)
  • Nordic exercise, Alfredson exercise and Copenhagen Strengthening exercises

INJURY MANAGEMENT

  • Strengthening Training like Copenhagen Strengthening, Nordic Exercise et cetera
