Join us for a one-day deep dive combining technology and coaching methods for performance, fitness and rehabilitation. We have taken some of the key concepts presented in our popular Running Mechanics Professional courses and have identified the finer details encountered in practical settings that need a closer look.
 
In this seven-hour hands-on practical session, we demonstrate proven techniques used at the highest levels of professional sports in a closed-door setting. We also integrate the latest technologies to help you measure the efficacy of our interventions, as well as show you how to make these technologies work in your professional setting. This includes the use of force dynamometers, dual force plates, laser timing systems and video analysis tools to integrate as part of your regular practice as a strength and conditioning coach, fitness professional or rehabilitation practitioner.
 
Sport performance applications will include improvements to acceleration abilities, enhanced repeated sprint abilities and overall conditioning and fitness gains. Fitness applications include general strength improvements, improved running performance over all distances, body composition enhancements and cardiovascular fitness gains. Rehabilitation applications reviewed include hamstring, knee, quadriceps, adductor and lower leg/foot/ankle return-to-play protocols.
