About the lecture
High performance environments are always seeking competitive advantages. One piece of this puzzle has been motorized resistance technology, which has allowed us to target movement patterns ranging from isolated joint to full kinematic chain movement patterns, as well as linear sprint and change of direction. This presentation will cover a framework of how we systematically apply and take advantage of this technology for testing, rehabilitation and training purposes with examples from a variety of sports at the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.
