3.  What is technology?

4.  Origin  Greek technologia  systematic treatment of an art  Miriam-Webster  the practical application of knowledge, especially in a particular area PRACTICAL APPLICATION

5.  Golden Rules of integrating technology  Strength and Conditioning  Fitness and Health  Athletic Performance  Safety  Performance  Forgotten exercise science  Discuss new technology

6. 1. Safety 2. Cost effective 3. Time effective 4. Does it work (valid)  Physiology  Research 5. Will it work (Applicability)  Anecdotal evidence

7.  Evaluate on an individual basis  Age  Training status  Physiological demands of their sport ▪ Life is a sport! Which ones are most important to you?

8.  Real time measurements:  Force  Power  VJ height

11. “Brees also makes sure to workout nearly every day on the TRX, a Navy SEAL–designed nylon-strap suspension system. Brees feels that putting his body weight against gravity gives the muscles more functionally than any dumbbell could provide. This certainly had an impact on Brees' throwing mechanics, as he became one of the most accurate quarterbacks in pro football.” muscleprodigy.com

14.  Performance did not differ between trials 

15. Develop metabolic-specific Obesity Treatment plans Patients achieve and sustain meaningful weight loss Easy to implement into all practice sizes Reimbursable, cost effective solution

16. Significant differences in results between the two devices Significant differences in results between the BodyGem and metabolic cart units Not tested on clinical population It does give better results compared to the Douglas Bag method
