We received Mr. Marco De Angelis, Professor of Methodology of Training at the University of L'Aquila, through the Wellness & Wiireless Srl the following article that reflects the use of an instrument adopted by Chinese walkers in their training.
As usual we publish.
The most difficult challenge for athletes and trainers is to identify the ideal workload of the next training session, to optimize the supercompensation cycles and therefore maximize improvements in performance.
The solution to what so far has been the performance Holy Grail has come from the world of Race Walking!
SuperOp – Supercompensation Optimizer, the first tool that can suggest athletes the ideal workload for the next session, was actually born after 5 years of testing and tuning with Olympic athletes and especially with the Chinese Race Walking Team coached by Sandro Damilano in Saluzzo (Italy).
In the last few years Sandro’s team, supported by SuperOp technology, has harvested an unprecedented number of successes, including Liu Hong’s 20 Km World Championship 2015 and World Record and Wang Zhen’s 2012 World Cup and 2015 World Championship Silver medal.
SuperOp stems from over 20 years of research by Prof. Marco De Angelis, lecturer in Training Methodologies in the Department of Applied Clinical Sciences and Biotechnology at the Un. of L’Aquila (Italy), on the most significant physiological parameters and their mathematical-statistical correlations.
The outcome of this research and extensive proof of concept with Sandro Damilano’s Race Walking team, has been coded and integrated by Wellness & Wireless into SuperOp, a product developed for professionals that is now available to all athletes.
SuperOp determines the athlete’s training-related metabolic stress level by reading the wake up heart rate and blood pressure values.
Hence SuperOp determines, daily, the optimal workload of the next training session that maximizes performance improvement.
Asked about SuperOp, Sandro Damilano has declared:
“For every trainer it is key to understand the actual capabilities of the athlete and the most appropriate workload on a daily basis.
For this reason SuperOp helps me bring my athletes always to the top of form for the competitions.
The outstanding results we achieved with the Chinese team proves the impressive effectiveness of SuperOp methodology.
I am convinced that other trainers and athletes will benefit from it as much as I did. “
