For Olympic silver medallist and World Cup series winner, Campbell Walsh, Institute support was up-weighted with a one-year intensive Strength and Conditioning programme in the build up to the Athens Olympics in 2004.
The first four weeks of the programme were spent in Stirling working with Strength and Conditioning Coach, Dave Clark, on strength technique.
Dave then visited Campbell's Nottingham base every six weeks to work with him in the gym, using either the Muscle Lab to monitor strength and conditioning or video to assess Campbell's technical development in selected exercises.
Ongoing monitoring of the strength training total volume load was used to ensure that Campbell was afforded good recovery but maintained the levels of strength and power necessary to support his in-boat performance.
The reward: a place on the podium for Campbell.
