(KUTV) Utah is a very active state. Athletes of all ages participate in sports that range from cycling to dancing. Some participate in sports to win; others participate to simply stay in shape. Regardless, athletes young and old can continue to improve their performance all year round with the help of physicians and trainers.The LiVe Well Center at Park City Medical Center works with athletes. We kind of support their performance by using technology like testing, said Dr. Massimo Testa, a sports medicine physician. Dr. Testa has worked with athletes in Europe and here in the United States. Currently, he works with athletes as young as 8 to athletes well into their 60s and 70s. They train almost like pro athletes. They have the equipment of the pro athlete. They spend the time and the money of a pro athlete.Doctor Testa focuses on helping athletes improve their performance, as well as educating them on how to prevent injuries. And he accomplishes this by customizing training programs to suit the needs of the athlete. Everyone has a different genetic makeup and psychological attitude to some kind of training versus another.Athletes will also get some education of diet and nutrition as part of his or her training program.
