🥊We're excited to announce the upcoming launch of a specialist short course designed to help you master the use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in combat sports.
This course will cover everything you need to know, from the science to the practical application:
✅ What NIRS is and how it works✅ Optimal sensor placement for combat athletes✅ How to acquire high-quality data during testing and training✅ Interpreting muscle oxygenation profiles to assess energy system use✅ Applying NIRS data during sparring to support tactical decisions✅ How to use NIRS in performance testing and fatigue monitoring✅ Pitfalls to avoid and best practices from real-world applications✅ Muscle physiology essentials to understand what you're seeing
We’ll also break down our own research (Usher & Babraj) on how to build muscle oxygenation profiles in combat athletes, and how to use them to individualize conditioning and recovery.
Whether you're a coach, practitioner, or athlete looking to sharpen your edge with cutting-edge sports science — this course is for you.
