The physical condition of an athlete is constantly changing due to adaptations within their training, but also because of their level of fatigue during workouts. Athletic assessments are a vital part of the training process. Through this evaluation, the athlete and trainer can objectively measure the impact of the workout process and the level of fatigue to influence future training plans. Muscle strength, power, speed, and acceleration must be strictly controlled during training. 

The optimum adaptation to improve performance is directly related to the central nervous system functioning correctly, which oversees the creation of high levels of strength at a high speed over short periods. These conditions are fundamental for the athlete’s performance. Through our evaluation software at Wheeler Sports Tech, the trainer can measure the amount of strength the athlete is producing at an efficient rate and detect the moment in which the athlete becomes fatigued — stopping the training session at precisely the right time. This creates the best adaptations in training to avoid overly fatiguing the central nervous system and muscles.

Isoinertial Wheeler Cone and Wheeler Yoyo

The Isoinertial Wheeler Cone and Wheeler Yoyo are two pieces of specialized equipment, designed for strength and eccentric speed training. Improving an athlete’s eccentric capacity will strengthen their muscular and neuromuscular adaptations — improving athletic performance actions such as deceleration with changes in direction, intense acceleration, hard landing, and deceleration. These types of movements require the generation of high levels of strength, power, and eccentric speed.

Benefits of the Isoinertial Wheeler Cone and Wheeler Yoyo

The versatility of the movements that can be performed on the Isoinertial Wheeler Cone and Yoyo provides the athlete and trainer the opportunity to create a more specific training regimen to improve the movements previously described. The trainer can set the software to provide real-time feedback while training to monitor the efficiency of the athlete’s movements and avoid fatigue.

Neuro Training System

The Neuro Training System or “reaction light” is another specialized method to improve the fast neuromuscular response of the athlete to optimal stimulation. This sports performance technology and software provide the ability to create unique and fun training sessions for various types of athletes. Reaction, acceleration, memory, auditive response, couple competition training, and the possibility of measuring time and quantifying results create a motivational factor for the athletes.

Wheeler Jump

Another practical and reliable manner to measure athletic condition and fatigue is to do a vertical jump analysis. Wheeler Jump is a scientifically proven evaluation service to simplify the process of sports assessment. The software includes eight different tests to improve overall athletic control. Through these assessments, individual jumps, neuromuscular profiles, lateral deficits, fatigue, neuromuscular fatigue, plyometric prescriptions, and repeating sprint capacities can all be measured.
