CUTTING EDGE SCIENCE

Formula Kersee was the first High Performance Group in the World to seek marginal gains in all aspects of Athlete Training and Performance. Not only in flexibility, strength, power and speed, the requisites for Top Performance, but also in injury prevention, recovery strategies, nutritional optimization and mental preparation for Life On and Off the Track. In addition, Formula Kersee was the first to use VO2 testing, and quickly learned the value of early season aerobic development and a robust joint stability program as the basis of their unique approach to Elite Performance. We were also the first to use video analysis of running mechanics on a regular basis, which provided useful data for corrective strength and flexibility protocols. Using our extensive knowledge honed through decades of refinement at the International Level, Formula Kersee has cratered a Unique Wrap-Around Support System for our athletes to use at competitions that is adept at predicting and meeting all of their Physiological and Psychological Needs.
