Cyclist Performance in Costa Mesa

Want to improve your performance on the bike? Costa Mesa's South West Health has partnered with ZenoLink which uses 3D motion analysis to gather research-level information about a cyclist’s peddling efficiency simply by videotaping that cyclist in action. ZenoLink’s proprietary software breaks down the video and produces a performance profile, which measures how effectively the cyclist utilizes peak speed output – his/her power potential. By measuring elements such as hip speed and leg speed, ZenoLink creates separate analyses of kinetic linking, stability and muscular loading. These are used to identify functional movement discrepancies that rob the cyclist of power, and to design a personalized Progressive Skills Training program that addresses those problem areas.
Below is a sample performance profile. This is the type of information that is generated from the 3D analysis. The information allows us to create specialized protocols called P.S.T. or progressive skills training. These PST's will improve the cyclists coordination and make them more efficient, leading to faster race times. For more information, contact us at 949-631-5226 Ext 10. www.3dsportsanalytics.com

Joseph M. Zappala D.C - Publisher

Dr. Zappala has been a chiropractor for the last 24 years and specializes in the treatment of sports injuries, especially those related to the golf swing. He treats athletes from all sports including gymnastics, dance, tennis, baseball, football, basketball and hockey. As a former athlete, Dr. Zappala understands the functional connection between what he does as a chiropractor and how an athlete performs at his or her sport. He performs his assessments and prescribes treatment based in relieving pain and restoring function to the injured area. This often leads to increased performance and decrease in the recurrence of injuries. He preaches active care to all of his patients whether they are athletes or just aspiring to be.
