For free parking, you can enter through the barrier and park in the parking spaces provided for SQUADT.
***Our*** TOOLS
At sports medicine practice SQUADT, we continually invest in innovative and scientifically based technologies to optimize your recovery and performance. We regularly test and implement new tools based on recent studies and proven treatment methods, so we always stay up-to-date and provide you with the best possible care.| Strength and cardio training
Our machines from Technogym combine top quality with stylish design. For extra efficient strength gains, we work with Desmotec flywheel training, an eccentric training form that offers more strength building than traditional strength training.
|Stabilization and neuromuscular training
In addition to fitballs, Bosu and Xco,... we have been employing Redcord for years, a system that works through neuromuscular activation to strengthen weak links in muscle chains.
| Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention
To make rehabilitation more efficient and provide athletes with joint- and tendon-friendly alternative training, we use the Alter-G treadmill with NASA technology. Our (sports-specific) injury-preventive screening is done via Hylyght, an advanced online platform resulting from a development within the UGent and VUB.
| Innovative Training Technologies
We use Airbands for blood flow restriction training and the Keiser Functional Trainer, which enables air resistance controlled strength, mobility and coordination training. We also deploy AR/VR training, with a VR headset and AR application on the iPad, for an interactive and realistic training experience. Reaction Lights help improve reaction speed and coordination.
***Desmotec*** Flywheel Training
Flywheel training is a form of training that allows us to achieve better and faster results in strength building than with conventional strength training alone. It is a form of training that was developed for astronauts to prevent muscle breakdown during long stays in space.With Desmotec, the flywheel training system we use, we can make great strides both in rehabilitation, prevention and performance enhancement to get you to the next level!
***Alter-G***Anti gravity treadmill
The Alter-G treadmill is a revolutionary technology that creates weightlessness and was developed by NASA ifv training for their astronauts. This device allows us to let people walk at a self-determined percentage (from 20 to 100%) of their body weight. This is obviously extremely interesting to speed up a rehabilitation process and to be able to resume walking much earlier in the rehabilitation program.People with severe ankle, knee, hip or back injuries can progressively (by percent) increase the pressure on the injury without skipping major steps.
For some people who can no longer walk or even step pain-free (sometimes for years), this can be a breakthrough in being able to resume this.
Athletes who want to squeeze in an extra workout without putting extra strain on their bodies can also do so on this treadmill.
***Hylyght*** Rehabilitation & talent platform
Hylyght was founded under the name SpartaNova in 2010 as a spin-off of Ghent University and the Free University of Brussels with the mission of bringing sports science more into practice.To this end, on the one hand the latest scientific insights are used on prevention, rehabilitation, monitoring and training for athletes and on the other hand this is translated into an online platform for professionals and field experts.
SQUADT acts here as professional én field expert to go through a testing protocol in a scientifically based and standardized way in function of determining injury susceptibility per sport.
After going through the screening, a detailed analysis and a personal profile is developed, after which the optimal exercises are also selected to eliminate those weaker links.
***Redcord***Neuromuscular Training
Redcord is a revolutionary Norwegian system of ropes and rubber bands that allows you to perform exercises in a very specific way that can be graded very broadly (from very easy to extremely difficult).It is used for the Neurac method (Neuromuscular activation method), where the weak links in a muscle chain are exposed and re-trained with this system. The uniqueness of the redcord is that you work on neuromotor skills, so you usually see results almost immediately. This has the most success for problems with stability, inadequate coördination between muscle groups, asymmetrical sport-specific postures and/or movements that should be symmetrical (swimming, cycling,…) and so on.
***Airbands*** BFR training
Blood Flow Restriction Training with Airbands is an innovative method that enables faster muscle growth and strength development, even with lighter weights. This technique uses controlled pressure around the arms or legs to temporarily restrict blood flow, allowing intensive muscle activation and faster recovery.With Airbands you can experience the benefits of Blood Flow Restriction Training in a safe and comfortable way. The system is ideal for rehabilitation, performance and prevention, as it increases muscle activation without heavy stress on the joints. It is suitable for both beginners and advanced users and provides quick results.
***Keiser***Functional trainer
The Keiser Functional Trainer allows you to improve strength, mobility and coördination in a controlled way using air resistance. This makes the device ideal for both rehabilitation and performance training, suitable for both beginners and advanced athletes. The Keiser Functional Trainer offers a wide range of exercise options, from strength training to functional movements. The system is easily adjustable and provides constant resistance, allowing for precise regulation of training intensity.
***Augmented- / Virtual Reality*** Digitally Assisted Training
AR/VR Training makes training more enjoyable and effective through digital technology. We use a VR headset and an AR system on the Ipad combined with a projector to make exercises interactive and realistic. This helps improve coördination, responsiveness and technique. These methods provide immediate feedback and make rehabilitation and training challenging.
***Training lights*** Reaction training
Reaction Training Lights are an advanced tool used to improve reaction, coördination and cognitive skills. They help recovery from injury by stimulating dynamic exercises that activate both motor skills and the neurological system. Through visual stimuli, the lights challenge patientsëns to respond quickly and purposefully, contributing to a more effective rehabilitation process and improved athletic performance. On top of that, ideal for training balance, agility and explosiveness!
***Technogym*** High-end fitness equipment
Technogym has already built a very strong reputation in the strength and cardio equipment market over the years.They stand for solidity and years of reliability.
They have met the highest quality standards for decades without losing sight of design and functionality.
It is not for nothing that they have long been purveyors to both the Olympics and many other top sports events and teams.
