While the temperatures outside dip to a fridged low, the heat is rising at AR’s Adult Running Program. Sign up for a free trial on the Super Treadmill. Classes are on Saturday’s at 11am and 12pm. AR is not just for kids. As a matter of fact, I think the weekend warriors are more competitive! Whether you are a casual 5k runner or a serious triathlete or marathoner, I GUARANTEE that I will make you a faster runner by spring. You will be beating times from when you were 20-something. Call 371-1469 to schedule your free trial or for questions call Jack at 879-4002. I believe, I believe YOU can.
The new Nike Vapor Strobe Eyewear is now offered at Athletic Republic Clifton Park.
Nike designated Athletic Republic to be an initial distributor of the Nike Vapor Strobes because of our performance sports training center’s proven capabilities for integrating sports science into training. In addition Athletic Republic helped designed the training protocols. These strobe glasses strengthen the athletes’ eyes to see, think and do.
The Nike Strobes help athletes enhance their sensory and sensory-motor skills. When used with specific training drills, the Strobes reduce visual information that athletes use to make decisions about when and where to react, thereby forcing the wearer to become more efficient with the limited visual information provided.
Comments from athletes after they have trained in them:
“Everything seems to be in slow motion”
“I can see the puck spinning now”
“I don’t just see the ball, I see the threads on the ball”.
“That tennis ball looks like a beach ball”.
The Strobes are a powerful tool to force the player to keep his or her eyes on the ball. Nike and Athletic Republic developed Strobe training drills that are designed to improve the following skills:
Focus/Attention: Forces athletes to keep eyes “on the ball” throughout completion of the athletic task
Anticipation Timing: Accurate, precise timing of a specific response
Imagery/Visualization: Accurate tracking of an object in the mind’s eye
Reaction time: Improved ability to execute a task more quickly
Balance/Stability: Quicker responses to external stimuli
Peripheral Vision: Enhanced awareness and responsiveness to the athlete’s surroundings
Available for purchase at Athletic Republic Clifton Park or buy online $300.00 per pair plus shipping at: Buy Nike Strobes
