improve endurance. His personal trainer is Kim Woods of

Statistics on the shearer's body functions and the results of intake and excretion have never been accurately measured and recorded during world record attempts until now. |
|||||||
With
the University of Western Australia, human movement department, we are recording heart rate, core body temperature, body
weight, liquid loss, liquid intake, food calorie count, food weight,
general feeling, and blood tests to get statistics during the day. All
information is recorded on computers, analysed, and used to keep Dwayne operating at maximum capacity. Other statistics recorded include, catch times, blow
counts per sheep, cutter change times, shearing times, and drink times.
These statistics, if used by shearing coaches, will help the shearing industry workers by improving training knowledge and developing new strategies on the basis of this knowledge. They will also be advantageous to any other high performing athletes particularly those taking part in endurance events. Statistics |
