Athlete Development
A professional athlete’s body is their most precious asset.
Every single day, athletes rely on their bodies to perform at the highest level. That is why it is so important to train the right way and to be aware of correct nutrition. As a brand, we feel a responsibility to allow our young talents to acquire knowledge about nutrition, the science of training, injury prevention, and much more. That’s why we launched our High Athlete Development Program in collaboration with doctors, physiotherapists and nutrition specialists, to support our athletes on their way to even more world champion titles. The first sports medical tests took place in Vienna, Austria, hosted by Dr Lukas Brandner, Christian Slechta-Pleterski, Bsc. and their team.
Dr. Lukas Brandner is the founder of Sportmedic in Vienna, Austria, a medical practice specializing in the treatment of sports injuries for professional athletes. With kitesurfing being a high-impact sport, injuries are unfortunately part of the game. That’s why at Duotone we make sure that we look after the health of our team riders. Together with Sportmedic we do everything we can to prevent injuries from happening in the first place as well as help our athletes to get back to the top when things aren’t going according to plan physically, not only during their active careers, but also after.
The following tests were done:
