Over the past year, we have continued to exploit and maximise the best of new technology in our sector. A particularly strong example of this has been our work with MuscleLab, a data collection device which monitors muscle activity and enables our strength and conditioning team to evaluate force, power and velocity in strength training.
MuscleLab has been extremely effective in identifying the progress and effect of strength training programmes, with graphical or numerical evidence being provided which demonstrates how various properties change during a training series.
Further benefits for our athletes have come through its capacity to assess readiness for training and competition after long-haul travel.
We have also been able to use MuscleLab to document and design rehabilitation programmes.
