This season I will be cooperating with . I reached out to them since I was tired of being tired. 😴😄🤷🏼‍♀️ This is not only ment for athletes. Can’t wait to tell you more about it! 🙌🏼

In our today's blog we talk to Pieter Bulsink, strength & conditioning coach from Maverick Training; Pieter shares his experience on using during Mavering Training Camp for professional drivers in Andorra.

Researchers Struganov and Galimov based their scientific study on practical measurements of DC potential of runners during 8 years. They conclude that the most important task of training process is to objectivize a control for sportsman condition during training and competitive activity. The appearance of new hardware-diagnostic complexes in medicine gives possibility to conduct the operative control over adaptable changes of organism, to make evaluation of its reserve possibilities, to trace dynamics of adaptation processes to physical load and to control training process, anticipating a condition of overstrain and adaptation failure.

Performance results depend largely on the level of individual sport mastery. During the process of long-term preparation, the goal is for the athlete to achieve the highest level of sport mastery.
However, before they can accomplish this, athletes require a certain level of preparedness. Therefore, the main task of the training process is to create the conditions that allow the athlete to achieve the highest level of sport-specific preparedness.

Randy Huntington, the current head coach of Chinese Athletic association and the coach of Su Bingtian, has decades of experience in elite sports; Randy is also Omegawave's first US client.
Training the fastest man of Asia, Randy uses Omegawave. We talked to Huntington some time ago asking him to provide more details on practical use of Omegawave: HRV, DC potential, parasympathetic and sympathetic influences. In this interview, we went through some of his biggest learnings and insights when it comes to using Omegawave readiness data in coaching.

The main complaint is of underperformance. Athletes will often ignore , heavy muscles, and until performance is chronically affected. Sleep disturbance occurs in over 90% of cases with difficulty in getting to sleep, nightmares, waking in the night, and waking unrefreshed. There may also be loss of appetite, weight loss, loss of competitive drive and libido, and increased emotional ability, anxiety, and irritability. The athlete may report a raised resting pulse rate and excessive sweating. Upper respiratory tract infections or other minor infections frequently recur every time an athlete tries to return to training when they have not fully recovered. This gives an apparent cycle of recurrent infection every few weeks (see the picture).
In order to prevent , the training load must therefore be individualised and reduced or increased, depending on the athlete’s response. The advice would be to taper and recover regularly throughout the season to enable regular of recovery. (Reference: Budgett R Fatigue and underperformance in athletes: the overtraining syndrome. British Journal of Sports Medicine 1998;32:107-110)
What monitoring system to choose? Omegawave monitors how you and how you are, using the Windows of Trainability™. Comparing to conventional approach, the Windows of Trainability™ approach offers a more evolved solution. The amount of load is not the most important parameter to consider, but rather when the body is ready to receive and adapt to another load. During periods when adaptation processes are complete, the body is most ready to benefit from new loads. The opposite is also true – during periods when adaptation processes are incomplete, the body is not able to benefit from new loads.
Correct and timely identification of the window of trainability permits not only the selection of the type, volume and intensity of loading, but also the proper timing of its application. (Reference: R.Fomin & V.Nasedkin "Windows of Trainability™: the Professional Coach’s Handbook", 2014)

A fascinating article where S. Jowett mentions that the key factor to successful outcomes in coaching is the quality of the relationship between
coaches and athletes. In this article, she proposes that the coach–athlete relationship is at the heart of coaching.
