The Basketball Chair l’Alqueria del Basket offers training sessions about the use of technology in sports
The Basketball Chair l’Alqueria del Basket is pleased to present a new seminar titled ‘Valencia Innovation Days’, with physical preparation as the main topic.
This new seminar will discuss the use of technology in sports with Carlos Balsalobre, Carlos Gallardo and Antonio Expósito as speakers.
The seminar will start with a lecture given by Carlos Balsalobre, PhD in Sports Science and professor of Sports Biomechanics at the Autonomous University of Madrid. He specialises in technology, evaluation and strength training, and has collaborated as a consultant with elite athletes ranging from Olympic runners to NBA teams. He is also the author of multiple scientific papers on strength training and the use of new technologies to evaluate performance. Additionally, he has designed ‘My Jump Lab’, a popular app that helps evaluate physical performance. Balsalobre will talk about muscle performance evaluation through mobile technology.
The next speaker will be Carlos Gallardo, Sports Scientist and Readaptator of Valencia CF Academy, where he works with Big Data applied to performance improvement and injury prevention. He monitors footballers, runs the strength training programmes, trains with the players who haven’t been called up and is in charge of the readaptation of injured players. He also works as a professional football external consultant for Thermo Human, where he helps prevent and monitors injuries with infrared thermography. In this lecture, Gallardo will talk about the role of the sports scientist in an elite academy.
The seminar will come to an end with a lecture by Antonio Expósito, high performance coach. He currently trains both male and female professional footballers, taekwondo Olympic athletes and other athletes in general. He has worked with the academy of Atlético de Madrid and the Baloncesto Torrelodones, as well as with the main team of Baloncesto Pozuelo de Alarcón.
