  3. Proprioception • The body’s awareness of position, posture, movement and state of balance. • We require our body to be fully aware of each of these in order to produce fluid movements. • Our sources of information for this are the proprioceptors in our joints, muscles and tendons, as well as from auditory and visual senses. Basic Proprioception Training (Ankle) Advances Proprioception Training Train like spiderman Proprioceptive retraining

  4. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves the inhalation of oxygen at a higher pressure than normal. • It promotes white blood cell activity at the injured area which helps to manage infections. • It also reduces blood flow by constricting blood vessels, which reduces pressure and swelling. Hyperbaric Chambers

  5. Oxygen Tents …provide an oxygen rich environment for athletes in an attempt to increase VO2max or recover from injury. • These tents can be small, localised tenets that cover the head and shoulders, or whole-body tents. Hypoxic Tents …provides a contrasting environment to Oxygen Tents, with reduced oxygen to simulate high altitude. • The aim is to utilise the body’s natural adaptation to reduced oxygen – increased red blood cells and haemoglobin. • These adaptations ensure more oxygen is available to the athlete during exercise at normal altitude.
