"I registered for a half marathon being held on February 3rd, 2008 and instead of my normal training schedule of "logging miles" I concentrated on the CATZ training sessions. Between Dec.'07 and Feb. '08 I did only 3 runs of 10-12 miles. However, since joining CATZ, I have religiously attended from 2 to as many as 5 sessions per week. During this time I have seen my "core" strength increase, my sprinting and recovery time improve. Well, I ran the Surf City USA half Marathon in cold blowing rain on Sunday morning February 3rd. To my surprise and excitement, I felt GREAT the entire race and turned in a Personal Best of 1:43:21 which crushed my previous best time by approximately 15 minutes! My next full marathon is in April and I can't wait to see how I do then! "

CATZ - USC to study ACL injury prevention

CATZ, USC, UNC & Santa Monica Orthopedic Group project

CATZ has been selected by the University of Southern California to collaborate in a project to study ACL injury prevention in female athletes as part of a $1.2 million, 3-year grant from the National Institute of Health. In addition to USC, CATZ will also be working with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Santa Monica Orthopedic Group.

The purpose of this study is to identify gender specific movement patterns that may cause non-contact ACL injuries during sport activities. In addition, the study will quantify the effects of a training program to reduce the incidence of such injuries.

USC selected CATZ to train all 300 subjects during the study. The selection of CATZ was based on its reputation as one of the country’s leading providers of training for youth athletes. CATZ will also use its extensive contacts in the soccer community to assist USC in recruiting subjects for the study.
