A
holistic approach to optimal performance |
|
|
| |
|
Proper
biomechanics and technique
are fundamental to performing well in your favorite sport, whether
it's swimming, cycling, running, or all three. Put our team of experts
to work on fine-tuning your bike fit, pedal stroke, swim stroke,
or running stride.
See
the difference a few millimeters may make in your ability to go
faster and perform more comfortably. Address old or current injuries
with an integrated biomechanical analysis and custom yoga program
that can help rebalance your body and bring the fun back into your
sport. |

Precision Bike Fitting -
Cycling position analysis
|
|
At Whole Athlete
we integrate precision position analysis with the fine art
of bike fitting into the optimal fit for you.
We take all aspects of your
unique biomechanics into consideration, including your strengths,
limitations, pedaling style, flexibility, or any injury
or challenges you might have.
The entire landscape of you and your equipment is then meticulously
evaluated for optimal performance. The result? A fit that
is comfortable and efficient. |
Are
you are looking to purchase a new bike?
Come see us first. Our
goal is simple: to help you choose the right bike with the
right fit. Receive expert guidance in selecting a production
bike or allow us to design the custom frame of your choice.
Whether you ride road,
mountain, cyclocross, time trial, triathlon
or track, come see
why our holistic approach to bike fitting is a good fit
for you.

Time
Trial / Triathlon Fitting & Analysis
- Aerodynamics and efficiency
|
| Time trial fitting
is both art and science. We take into consideration all elements
of the rider to minimize aerodynamic drag while maximizing
power. Efficiency and handling
are emphasized in the optimizing of power and speed.

Pedal Stroke Analysis
- Cycling biomechanics
|
| Using
power data from a maximal steady state test,
our pedal stroke analysis protocol provides useful information about
the mechanics of your pedal stroke.
Pedal
stroke analysis gives us a detailed picture of the torque
production and distribution throuout your pedal stroke. This analysis
can also help develop your optimal bike position for road, mountain,
cyclocross, track or time trial. The analysis is performed using
CompuTrainer
SpinScan™
technology, while our unique protocol is based on your individual
power zones.
SpinScan™
pedal stroke analysis provides a multi-color torque graph which
represents one full 360° pedal revolution divided into 15° segments.
It will identify "flat" or "dead spots in the pedal
stroke where power is not being transferred to the drive train.
Graphs show instantaneous right/left leg power split and where power
is being applied for greater aid in development of under-utilized
muscle groups.

Running
Form & Technique Analysis -
Biomechanical efficiency & assessment
|
Balanced
biomechanics, form, and technique are the foundations of running
fast, efficiently, and injury-free. Correct running form ensures
that we create and maintain momentum, deflect and reduce impact,
minimize energy loss, and maximize efficiency and economy.
The
analysis takes place on a flat running track and generally
lasts ~60-90 min. A discussion of the athlete's background
takes place prior to the analysis, including any history of
injury or imbalance that may affect a runner's form. Then,
through observation of body position and biomechanics, recommendations
and drills are introduced to increase efficiency, comfort
and speed while running. Biomechanical
limitations are addressed including stride length, frequency,
upper body position and flexibility. |

Swimming Freestyle
Stroke Analysis - Biomechanical
efficiency & technique assessment
|
 |
Swim
stroke analysis entails
a comprehensive session in which we examine and seek to optimize
swimming technique. Each of the fundamental aspects of the
freestyle stroke are addressed using scientifically supported
biomechanical models and hands-on experience.
Specific drills are taught
to remedy any imbalance in stroke mechanics. The analysis
is performed in an outdoor pool and takes ~60-90 min. |
Group clinics/workshops
available. Contact
us for more information.
