Athletic Lab’s Dr. Mike Young recently lectured for the Belgian Olympic Committee. The conference was hosted in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve just outside of Brussels, Belgium. The international conference featured speakers from Italy, Belgium and the US. The Belgian National Federations are the organizations that coordinate all aspects of their individual sports. They are responsible for training, competition and development of their sports. There are currently 32 Olympic Summer and 7 Winter Sport Federations in Belgium.

Young delivered a lecture on velocity based training (VBT). VBT is a modern approach to strength training and power training which utilizes technology to provide objective data as a means to motivate and support real-time adjustments in an athlete’s training plan.

If you are interested in having Dr. Young and any other Athletic Lab staff lecture or provide a private workshop for your organization please contact us for details.
