As a Strength and Conditioning coach, you can use some science-backed tools to effectively monitor your athletes' training load and reduce the risk of injury. 📊

Above I present some of these strategies.📌

What about you guys (athletes and coaches), what types of tools have you been using to monitor training load and readiness?
Would like to implement some of these strategies in your daily basis but don’t know how?

Victory or defeat in wrestling is dependent on essential elements that normally occur under conditions of fatigue, including high levels of dynamic and isometric strength, power, quickness, cardiorespiratory conditioning and flexibility, as well as stress management and psychological resilience.

Due to the complexity of the demands imposed on this sport, it is necessary to organize a highly integrated and individualised strength and conditioning training program.

Regarding to the evaluation and monitoring of maximum strength levels (dynamic and isometric) and reactive/ballistic capacity (dynamic strength/power) in high-performance Wrestling athletes, it is suggested to carry out a follow-up neuromuscular assessment throughout the season in order to ensure optimal control of the training load, a good state of readiness pre-competition and reduce the risk of injury/return to sport.

Considering the information mentioned above and other particularities, we started monitoring the neuromuscular performance (NP) of the Polish Wrestling Champion, Arek, from the end of last year, in order to collect a periodic and reliable data about his NP level. Once we finish the test battery and analysis of the results, the last step is to provide a data report to his S&C Coach, Pawel Krótki, to help him carry out the training plan and control all of the variables even more accurate and specific to the needs of the athlete.

If you want to know more details about this type of evaluation, feel free to contact us through one of our platforms.

The monitoring of the neuromuscular status throughout the season allows the coaches/medical team to make a more accurate decision regarding the control of the training load and management of the invention during the process of returning to sport. 📊🏋🏽🤾🏼‍♂️

Yesterday we had the pleasure of receiving Arkadiusz Kulynycz fanpage (Mistrz Polski w zapasach🥇) once again at BODY WORKto carry out the neuromuscular assessment to start the next training period in his periodization, led by Paweł Krótki, his head S&C coach.

Marta Falińska, thanks a lot for your support during the assessment 🙇🏻‍♂️

Fotografia Andrzej Olszanowski once again, thanks for you time and the photoshoot 🧙🏻‍♂️

Paweł and Arek I wish you a big success in this next phase. Count on our support to make your team even more successful! 🫡

I started working as a Personal Trainer and S&C coach in 2007, during my first internship in the Sports Science graduation. In my first academic year, I have been immersed in scientific research field as a fellow in a human performance evaluation laboratory, carrying out periodic physical tests and monitoring performance in professional and amateur athletes, and also in the same period, collaborating in the process of prescription and orientation of the training for different types of populations, in the most varied health conditions. 🤓✌🏻

The Upgrade Performance concept's main objective is to integrate the experience and expertise of professionals involved with scientific knowledge and technology applied to sports science, in order to provide individuals of all ages and different levels of physical fitness and sports, social and cultural contexts with the possibility of developing, improving and reconditioning your performance. 🧑🏻‍💻📈📊

🗣 I strongly believe that the assessment and monitoring of physical condition is an essential part of the process of managing physical training and rehabilitation programs. 👌🏼

With access to relevant data to the clinical status and physical level of our patients and athletes, decision-making by professionals becomes more accurate and specific for each moment of rehabilitation and sports season.
