by | Mar 2023 | 0 comments

President & Founder of Critical Reload, Mike Bewley, talks about some features of the Polar H10 system that he uses to help him be a better coach. When it comes to accuracy and connectivity, the Polar H10 heart rate sensor is a go-to choice. Coaches can monitor heart rate with maximum precision and connect heart rate to a great variety of training devices with Bluetooth and ANT+. The Polar H10 is trusted by medical researchers and sports professionals around the globe to measure the beats of the human heart with precision.

Bewley is former Director of Basketball Strength & Conditioning Coach and Specialist in Sports Nutrition for Clemson University. He has been using Polar products extensively during his career.

In 2002, Bewley earned his certification as a certified specialist in sports nutrition through the International Sports Science Association. Since that time, Coach Bewley has accumulated extensive experience assisting athletes with their performance nutrition needs while founding Critical Reload in 2004.

His proficiencies as a specialist in sports nutrition include:

  • Recognize nutritional factors affecting health and performance that will enable appropriate nutritional counseling with Director of Sports Nutrition for Olympic Sports.
  • Disseminate factual knowledge of performance enhancing substances and provide persuasive evidence to student-athletes as the effects, risks, and appropriate alternatives.
  • Measure and monitor athlete and team body composition.
  • Analyze nutritional habits of athletes to determine the steps necessary to modify and provide a balanced diet.

  • Use product hardware and software to formulate daily caloric expenditure to estimate training table/travel menus, appropriate individual hydration requirements and enhance exercise recovery.
  • All the above nutritional practices virtually eliminate in-season weight-loss while helping enhance performance development year-round.
