• Following a first phase of adapting to training using with small tools (August-September), the athelte carried out a first cycle of hipertrophy with overloads (October-November) and after that, he has carried out a second phase in whichit was also integrated isoinertial training for lower limbs with overloads (November – February).

CONCLUSIONS

From November to February with one isoinertial training session per week, performed before the main basketball trainings with the team:

Total Volume from 11.65J to 18.23J

During the concentric phase
Power peak from 358W to 781W
Power average from 216W to 509W

During the eccentric phase
Power peak from 452W to 612W
Power average from 280W to 424W

CONCLUSIONS – STANDARD DEVIATION

 

Desmotec allowed me to focus on training lower limbs power, during a regular cycle of strength wit overloads.

In addition, it allowed me to monitor the Watt expressed during every repetitions in both concentric and eccentric phases, in order to verify eventual improvements in peaks and averages reached by the subject.

The Desmotec software allows to monitor the standard deviation: in this particular case it was around 20%. It is possible to analyze the execution of the exercise in case the subject needs to learn it or improve the support.
