What is anti-gravitational treadmills?
The Alter G Anti-Gravity Treadmill can be used to restore normal walking and running mechanics while also supporting the healing tissue. It can be used to assist in recovery from fractures, stress fractures, knee or hip surgery or replacement, as well as for weight loss
What is a cryo chamber?
A cryotherapy chamber uses a combination of liquid nitrogen and electricity to cool the air around you and provide potentially therapeutic benefits. Val Thoermer/Adobe Stock. We’re talking about cold therapy, perhaps better known as cryotherapy.
What does a hyperbaric chamber do?
In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased 2 to 3 times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, your lungs can gather much more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. This extra oxygen helps fight bacteria.
What is the Human Performance Alliance Program?
The Human Performance Alliance weaves together three synergistic scientific programs to accelerate high-impact advances in human performance: scientific moonshots, innovation hubs, and agility projects.
What is digitalization in sports?
Digitization is a big word that’s thrown around a lot today, but when it’s used with sports, it’s truly transformational. It means that everything we do in a sport can now be captured as a piece of data. Data like we’ve never experienced it before.
What is individualized digital twins in sports?
The goal is to create individualized digital twins to make precision health decision about elite performers. Their sleep cycle, movement, and nutrition. Predictive algorithms can construct their original body.
What is data privacy?
Data privacy generally means the ability of a person to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent personal information about them is shared with or communicated to others. This personal information can be one’s name, location, contact information, or online or real-world behavior.
What are exoskeletons technology?
Exoskeletons are wearable structures that support and assist movement, or augment the capabilities of the human body. Exoskeletons are devices that can assist people, or augment their physical capabilities.
Why did they ban full body suits in swimming?
The suits in effect pushed water away from the swimmer’s body and were therefore dubbed hydrophobic.
What is carbon fiber tendons helpful for?
We could implant synthetic materials inside a players body or carbon fiber tendons that provide extra strength and stretch.
Can you replace ligament and tendons from other animals?
This week, a patient in Poland had his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) replaced with a Z-lig, an off-the-shelf scaffold device made from a pig ligament. It’s the first commercial use of this device and the culmination of many years of work, which my team and I began over 19 years ago with early-stage development and pilot trials. The Z-lig was subsequently developed by Aperion Biologics, and was cleared last year for marketing and distribution in the European Union and other markets which recognize the CE Mark.
What are the 6 disability groups in Paralympics?
There are six broad Paralympics categories: amputee, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, wheelchair, vision impairment, and “others.” The amputee category is defined as one where the athlete has lost at least one major musculoskeletal joint; the ankle, knee, and elbow are common examples.
What technology is used in sports?
EMG (Electromyography) sensors, video technology, pressure measurement, and 3D motion analysis systems work together to consolidate data sources to provide the athlete with an analysis of their movement.
How has technology improved in sport?
Training advances have further progressed athletic performance. The use of biomechanical analysis to correct technique in sports such as golf, tennis and cricket has helped athletes to improve technique and movement efficiency, reducing injury, but also improving consistency of performance.
