PLANNINGSign-up for a private session on running technique, for June 20th 2013 at 5:00 PM

Maison de la course / Mont St-Hilaire
Analyse de la technique de course

Notre station d'analyse comprend un tapis-roulant, trois caméras HD ainsi qu'un poste informatique équipé du logiciel Dartfish afin de visionner et d'analyser votre technique de course. Ensemble, lors d'une séance d'une heure et quart, nous trouverons les réponses aux questions suivantes :

  • Est-ce que ma cadence est optimale ?

  • Est-ce que ma posture est bonne ?

  • Est-ce que j'utilise bien l'énergie élastique ?

  • Est-ce que je fais de la pronation excessive ou de la supination et est-ce que ma chaussure est adaptée ?

  • Est-ce que j'atterris sur le talon, au milieu du pied ou à l'avant ? Est-ce optimal?

  • Est-ce que mes bras et mes épaules font ce qu'ils devraient faire ?

  • Est-ce que la position de la tête est bonne? 

Avec le spécialiste vous travaillerez dès cette rencontre à corriger votre technique. Puis vous serez de nouveau filmé à la fin de la séance et être ainsi en mesure de visualiser comment en une heure, sous bonne supervision,  votre patron de course aura changé. Vous repartirez de la boutique avec vos séances vidéo sur votre clé USB et une liste d'exercices et de correctifs pour bien continuer votre progression.

Coût: 119$
