The UFC Performance Institute is partnering with athlete monitoring technology company Omegawave to identify “physiologically limiting factors” that might hinder mixed martial arts athletes from reaching optimal levels of performance.
The Institute announced this week that it will deploy Omegawave’s technology to monitor the training of UFC athletes to help maximize performance while minimizing the risk of injury due to overtraining.
A number of UFC athletes have already used Omegawave’s products, which collect data such as ECG, DC potential of the brain, and reaction rate.
