Summer is a crucial period for athletes and teams preparing to face a new competitive season. Athletic preparation is a structured process designed to improve:
It is during this phase that the foundations are laid for successfully handling training sessions, matches, and competitions in the best possible condition.
The main goal of athletic preparation is to help the body progressively adapt to the specific demands of a given sport. A well-designed program not only enhances the physical qualities required for performance but also helps reduce the risk of overload-related injuries. In addition, it provides an opportunity to identify potential muscular deficits or asymmetries.
Among the technologies that can support athletic preparation, Genu Plus stands out as our isokinetic dynamometer designed for the assessment and training of the knee joint. Thanks to its multiple operating modes, it allows clinicians and performance professionals to measure and train strength while collecting objective data. The ability to perform dedicated tests and monitor progress over time makes Genu Plus a valuable tool for athletic conditioning programs and, in the case of injury, Return to Sport (RTS) pathways.
During summer training, special attention is often given to the hamstrings, the muscles located at the back of the thigh, which are among the most commonly injured muscle groups in sports. Our N3 device is designed to facilitate the execution of the Nordic Hamstring Exercise and to measure the eccentric or isometric strength of the knee flexors. By enabling ongoing monitoring of results, N3 provides valuable support for both strengthening and injury prevention strategies.
Effective athletic preparation is built on a combination of planning, monitoring, and the use of tools capable of providing objective data on an athlete’s condition. Technologies such as Genu Plus and N3 help support on-field training through precise assessments and targeted training pathways. Investing in summer preparation means giving athletes the opportunity to start the season in a better-conditioned state.
