Sports Training:

 

Sports training is an intellectual process. A trainer evaluates the performance of an athlete and recommends improvements. The athlete interprets the trainer's input and trains towards achieving the targets set by the trainer.

CAREN changes the training process from a cognitive process to a physical process by putting the athlete in a situation where he feels physically what the trainer means. For example, studies demonstrate that most long distance runners waste about 15-20 percent of their energy when running because of not achieving the most optimal forward vector. Redundant upward motion or bounce movement is the main cause.

CAREN helps to train the athlete to eliminate this tendency. It captures the athlete’s movements on the system and intervenes by presenting the athlete an active ground that comes to meet the foot on the correct vector. The athlete feels physically what the optimal curve should be.
