The ProBalanz System

At Duffy Fitness Institute, our world-class ProBalanz System will provide the ultimate strategy to an athlete's performance on and off the field. This scientific approach to Sports Training in Irvine, Ca will educate the athlete's physical, nutritional and mental being in the most specific way.

Evaluation Protocol

Consideration is given to past and present conditions through an in depth interview to achieve a complete history of each athlete. Precision instrumentation is used to determine the athlete's spinal curvature, head carriage, range of motion, length tension relationships and force couple relationships. We continue with a biomechanical assessment to follow the athlete's current primal pattern and gait analysis.

Implementation Protocol

After the evaluation we take the criteria and information and design an off season and on season program that will keep each athlete at an appropriate energy level. We will implement a correctional phase if structural imbalances are detected or if injuries need to be addressed. The goals fo the athlete are met with neuromuscular isolation exercises that are administered in a controlled environment.

If the athlete is currently working with a strength or speed coasch, we can integrate as the corrective exercise specialist, to enhance the performance of both. This ProBalanz System is the most advanced approach to sports performance today. You will improve flexibility, strength, stability and gain power in your specific sport.

Sports Training Assertions:

Strengthen Vastas Medialis "VMO" - Essential for helping the kneecap to track properly and reduce injuries. A weak VMO affects sprinting and jumping adversely.

Strengthen Hamstrings - Hamstrings should be able to produce 66% of the force of quadriceps. Kenn stability is affected immensely. Strong Scapulae Retractors will dramatically improve a slumping head posture, which cause's shoulder impingement and subsequent injuries.

The only way to go for the serious athlete is The Full Evaluation or The Biomechanical Assessment. It is an in depth process that includes two visits. The first is about 90 minutes and is used to determine past and present medical conditions, physical restrictions, trauma issues, and musculoskeletal dysfunction so that a program may be designed specifically for you to help you meet your goals and improve your game as quickly as possible. After your first appointment, your specialist will spend a great deal of time putting together a program specifically for you and your sport. Your next appointment is used for introducing that new program to you and is included in the cost of your evaluation.

Sports - Training Soccer

"Since most soccer players weigh less than 200 pounds and soccer is not a traditional American sport, many players and authorities have established many myths regarding physical conditioning for soccer. Generally speaking, the most common myths or misconceptions are that soccer is an aerobic sport and that strength training isn't necessary for success in soccer. In actuality, soccer performance is hindered by the excessive amounts of aerobic training and inadequate strength training in many players. Proper use of aerobic, anaerobic, and strength training is paramount for success in soccer at any level. Today, both male and female soccer players need to know how to train properly to be able to run intermittently at high speeds for 90 minutes and be able to both win and keep possession of the ball on the ground and in the air. Very few players today at any level are training properly in order to possess these physical attributes and many players are training in a way that guarantees injuries over a matter of time.

Sports Training - Football

"Summer is here, and, while some athletes will go on vacation to an exotic location with their sweetheart or head up to the cottage for a little rest, football players should be preparing for the upcoming season. I am a big advocate of making sure each player has an individualized workout plan, but sometimes this ideal situation is difficult to accomplish. When a coach asks Duffy Fitness trainer for a team-training schedule, we at least break their program down by position. Enough of the blah blah blah, let's get after it.
Football players love to train in the weight room, and this is great, but at DFI we also like to make sure that this newly developed power transfers well to raw functional football strength. Football is a game where a player takes a few steps and then has a brawl. And it is legal! What other sport allows you to go out and do this without being suspended or arrested?
How do you achieves true functional strength while maintaining the weight room power you have worked so hard to achieve? Easy, we implement functional training methods like flipping tires, push and pull cars, sled work, log pressing and the use of a few interesting non-traditional implements.
