REINVENTING THE TRAINING STIMULUS IN SPORTS, REHAB, and HEALTH

Alloutcoach

On the latest episode of @Alloutcoach I spoke with Tanya Colonna, CEO of @OroMuscles, a former varsity track and field athlete who competed in the pole vault, gymnast, medical device commercialization expert and award-winning instructor with a biomedical engineering degree from Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. In this conversation, Tanya highlights her resilient international journey as a startup founder of an AI company that discovered and clinically validated a critical relationship between how hard muscles work during training or their capacity; how they respond, or their intensity; and even the rate of perceived exertion through her research with world class athletes. She ultimately teaches us how to apply data in real time to find the optimal training stimulus in sports, rehab and recovery, and in medicine in order to predict and improve performance based directly on data from the muscles of patients and athletes. 1:56 The road to Tanya's discovery of @OroMuscles 5:09 Given their current options, what can those in rehab right now consider improving or focusing on more? 6:35 Coaching approaches most effective on Tanya's performance as an athlete in gymnastics and track? 8:12 Why targeting training and rehabilitation with technology merits more attention from healthcare and investors? 9:46 Unique principles used at Oro Muscles and their outcomes 13:32 Specific case studies illustrating an unmet need in sports rehab and what we can do with data to predict and improve performance 16:52 What is the source of any variability in the muscle response to intesnsity and training? 22:31 Are there any other sports or audiences that may benefit from this technology? 24:13 What level of human management does it take in order to make those results meaningful and translate into championship performance? 26:19 How does OroMuscles' technology improve productivity as well in a business? 29:33 What steps were taken to validate that data for other aspiring leaders or entrepreneurs to learn 32:13 Tanya and her organization's next milestone - how she is stretching herself and lifting others 33:27 How to reach @OroMuscles and Tanya
