Wattbike and the Military

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — Alex Skelton @ 2:03 pm

In the last week a trial of teh Wattbikes has started at the Defence Medical Rehabilityation Centre at Headley Court and the Regional Rehabilitation Centre at Aldershot. The Wattbike ticks all of the boxes for a rehabilitation tool for the military and the initial signs are good that the bike will be adopted within the rehabilitation programme across all Military Rehabilitation Centres, but that will depend on the findings of the Joint Services Commitee for Rehabilitation Equipment. 

 There are 25 bikes in place  at ITC Catterick. and will be put into action in the Pre-Conditioning Programme with recruits. This is an attempt to improve fitness of recruits which is currently well below the required levels.
