SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - April 29, 2016) - ATAVUS (atavus.com) and Volt Athletics
"Volt's new mobile-friendly platform opens the door to the high performance S&C programs that today's rugby players need to compete at all levels of our growing game," said Emilie Bydwell, Head of Rugby Programming for ATAVUS. "Volt's technology combined with our rugby-specific exercises and movements make for a powerful platform that allows athletes anywhere to train as if they were at an ATAVUS Academy."
Built by ATAVUS High Performance Director and veteran S&C expert Chris Tombs, the program is a comprehensive 52-week strength-training program that reinforces ATAVUS' training philosophy and includes movement patterns and prescriptive loading. Based on simple inputs by the coach or athlete, Volt's technology builds the optimal training calendar for each athlete, customizes the training to each athlete's strength level and generates an athlete's individualized workout for the day.
Individualized workouts are accessible via any device through the new Volt iPhone app or mobile-friendly website and include specific instructions, sets, reps, and prescribed weights, as well as visual cues, including photos and video. Over time, the rugby-specific training program grows with athletes by calibrating appropriate fluctuations in intensity, volume and exercise selections to help athletes avoid plateaus and overtraining.
"As participation in rugby deepens and widens in the U.S., more athletes are seeking the type of world-class, high performance rugby training that is available to pro athletes," said Dan Giuliani, Co-Founder and CEO of Volt Athletics. "With the creation of the ATAVUS Strength Training Platform, now all rugby players and clubs have access to elite training they can trust delivered through Volt's technology."
The ATAVUS-Volt workouts include three tiers of programming so athletes can train at their appropriate developmental level. Tiers include 1) Train to Develop, 2) Train to Compete and 3) Train to Survive. Subscriptions for ATAVUS-Volt rugby-specific workouts are priced at $29.99 per month, after a free 14-day trial.
