INTRODUCTION

DTS can be easily integrated into specific training programmes for sport disciplines such as Mogul Ski. The training programme could be split into three different phases:

  1. In the first phase of «dry» conditioning, free weights and free-body exercises were used.
  2. In the second conditioning phase, Desmotec was introduced to support work with overloads/free body. In this phase inertias were used to stimulate a greater acceleration and deceleration component.
  3. In the third phase, that of approaching the races, the number of inertias was reduced to work more on the speed of the movements. Desmotec played a central role during the competitive period. The inertias were modulated according to the requests. Often it was also used as a neuromuscular «activation» the day before or the day of a competition.

RESULTS

The integration of the DTS technology with the training tecniques adopted for the preparation of professional Mogul Ski competitions, allow the athlete to perform a specific muscular strengthening programme, thanks to the eccentric training. Furthermore, the opportunity to consult his training results in real time, gives him the possibility to correct his own mistakes and adapt his training programme to any situation.

CONCLUSIONS

The Desmotec devices allows to collect, store and share the progression data of any single athlete, providing the opportunity to consult and studying the progresses. DTS technologies also prevented a lower lumbar overload, usually a consequence for this kind of training performed in the traditional way.
