Athletic Republic Boasts New Vision Training Program

http://www.sports.dynavisiond2.com

Monroe, La. – Nov. 18, 2010 – The Athletic Republic of North Louisiana: Monroe and Shreveport Facilities has implemented a new vision training program for its athletes, through the adoption of an I-SPAN Reactive Trainer device. Dynavision Sports is the maker of the I-SPAN, a diagnostic instrument designed for measurement, analysis and improvement of all forms of movement including acceleration, agility, explosive reaction, endurance and more.

“The sky is the limit with the I-SPAN,” Kobus Smit, Athletic Republic facility director said. “It gives us the creative ability to do a variety of exercises. We are currently in the process of developing unique protocols for every sport so that each athlete can benefit in a way that is relevant to his/her needs.”

Soccer and tennis players both use the technology to quicken their movement skills, but whereas soccer players concentrate on eye-foot coordination, tennis players wave their racquets over the light sensors and work on hand-eye coordination.

The I-SPAN was set up in the facility about a month ago and according to Smit, athletes have already seen improvement while using it.

“I work with a 16-year old tennis player who has always had a habit of dragging her foot when playing,” Smit said. “She has been using the I-SPAN twice a week for four weeks. Her reaction time and speed have both increased and she no longer drags her foot. The I-SPAN has really helped her.”

Smit emphasizes that the I-SPAN’s greatest value is in its measurability. “You can test an athlete and actually track his/her improvement over time. That’s exactly what we want– a tangible way to prove to our athletes that the work they are doing with us is making a difference.”

According to Dynavision Sports, this feedback on the I-SPAN – which is found in several training facilities and athletic programs across the country – is common.

“The I-SPAN has been on the market for about six months, and it has made a huge splash across virtually every sport,” Mark Hallis, CMO of Dynavision Sports said. “The device is incredibly versatile and can be assembled in countless ways to accommodate different exercises and protocols – it is perfect for a place like Athletic Republic, which has such a diverse range of athletes and needs.”

Smit suggests the excitement has only begun and that there is a big future for Athletic Republic and the new vision training program.

“It’s too early to reveal everything we are going to do,” Smit said. “But let’s just say community members and students outside our program are going to get a feel for all this technology has to offer.”

Dynavision Sports Adds New Client to Roster

Tulsa, Okla. – Nov. 3, 2010 – Dynavision Sports inked a deal this week with Elite Sports Performance, a training facility located in Anchorage, Alaska. The facility ordered Dynavision’s I-SPAN Dynamic Reactive Trainer and will be integrating the technology into its athletes’ workout regimens immediately upon arrival.

“I have worked with a Dynavision unit before and recently came across the I-SPAN on the company’s website,” Louis Mass, owner of Elite Sports Performance said. “Our facility specializes in the development of hockey players, both amateur and professional, and they will primarily be the ones using the I-SPAN. We look forward to seeing it in action.”

The I-SPAN is one of two primary sports vision training devices manufactured by Dynavision Sports. It is a diagnostic instrument designed for measurement, analysis and improvement of all forms of movement including acceleration, agility, explosive reaction, endurance and more.

“The I-SPAN has made a huge splash across virtually every sport,” Mark Hallis, CMO of Dynavision Sports said. “As the videos on our Facebook page demonstrate, the device can be used in countless ways. Goalies tend to set up the equipment like a goal net in order to practice explosive reactions from all angles. On the other hand, tennis players will often arrange the motion sensors in a line and work on their speed and agility to simulate actual back-and-forth plays. This device is going to do great things for the hockey players at Elite Sports Performance.”

The I-SPAN and the Dynavision D2 – a four foot by four foot unit that measures and improves reaction time, peripheral awareness, hand-eye coordination and other visuo-motor skills – have so far been embraced by The University of Cincinnati, Baylor University, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, IMG Performance Institute, New York Rangers, NHRA Top Fuel star Larry Dixon and other athletic programs and athletes across the country.

Dynavision Sports Launches Online Presence

Tulsa, Okla. – Sept. 9, 2010 – Dynavision Sports – the maker of sports vision training and concussion baseline testing equipment – has officially signed online with a presence on Facebook, Twitter, Strength Performance Network and Tumblr.

“What we do is extremely visual and interactive,” Phil Jones, president of Dynavision Sports said. “The best way to prove our technology’s value to trainers, coaches and athletes is to show the devices in action. And although we spend a lot of time on the road making connections in person, we can’t be everywhere we’re wanted at once; it’s useful to be able to show how our technology works and to build relationships via social media.”

The company manufactures two training devices: the Dynavision D2 Visuo Monitor and I-SPAN Dynamic Reactive Trainer. The D2 is a four foot by four foot unit that tracks and improves reaction time, peripheral awareness, hand-eye coordination and overall athletic performance in interactive and measurable ways; it also is currently being introduced as a base test scoring system for concussion and stinger detection and rehabilitation. The I-SPAN is a diagnostic instrument designed for analysis and improvement of all forms of movement including acceleration, cyclic, acyclic and endurance.

The training equipment can be found in NCAA and professional athletic programs, performance institutions and other physical training and conditioning facilities across the United States.

“Our exposure within the sports industry grows on a constant basis,” Jones said. “We’re involved with everything from the University of Cincinnati’s football team to the Detroit Redwings to the NHRA’s Top Fuel superstar, Larry Dixon. We expect our online presence will help us expand even further.”

Dynavision Sports can be found in the following places online:
