VRDL All Stars Roller Derby do recovery at ADVANCED ATHLETES PERFORMANCE
The VRDL Roller Derby competition was in action again at the Showgrounds last night. And the ALL STAR team is off to Arizona in a week to play an officially approved International Flat Track Series in Arizona. So the sport is growing rapidly and the word is it will be PRO in the US soon. The teams are training harder and smarter now and part of their preparation was a recovery session at the Preston centre for Advanced Athletes Performance.
A few weeks ago I did a Heart Rate Analysis of Miss Chivas and certainly it is an imtermittent sport with high demands. Added to this is the load from cutting and body contact. Thus the girls have to recover properly. Like all sports, as performance improves, intensity improves and recovery becomes a critical factor in training.
So here are some pics of the girls doing their recovery session. Good luck to the team in the US.
