- 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
