Among the presenters was Jessica Douglas, BTT member and MSPT. She prepared an interactive clinic discussing the important benefits of adequate warm up and cool down techniques for runners. Jess explained what's warm up/ cool down, why each is important and what are the proper techniques and exercises that athletes can perform before and after training.
Jorge Martinez, BTT member and owner for E3 Training Solutions was another speaker offering an interactive run clinic with simple information regarding running technique and basic strategies to improve it.
Some of the topics covered during the clinic were biomechanics, the components for performance, what is running economy and what elements from it can be improved through technique.
It was also briefly discussed how neuromechanics like active/passive responses need to be considered and what elements athletes need to focus on in order to produce improvements without significant mechanical changes. The latter might negatively affect performance as opposed to improve it.
Kathleen also mentioned why other products are important for before and after training to enhance recovery, which ultimately will allow athletes to train more and improve performance.
