Watch: behind the scenes
Exeter Rugby Club have announced sports and energy drink Red Bull UK as a new key partner of the club's Academy.
Working together, the two brands aim to create not only unique experiences for those within the academy structure, but they will help revolutionise the way in which players are monitored and developed in the future with the introduction of a state-of-the-art sports science suite.
The new sports science suite includes the technology and equipment to test players’ deficiencies and highlight areas which staff are able to develop and repair before the onset of stress related injuries. The equipment includes a counterweight treadmill, lactate and glucose analyser, exercise bike, isokinetic dynamometer, high frequency force plates and a gas exchange metabolic hood. A motion capture system will also help with minimising injury, allowing staff to examine player movement and set individual programmes in place.
