Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 72 Outlook on Training Methods (1 more chapter to come in the evening)
Xiaolimao's first weight training went smoothly.

The specially designed weight-bearing equipment was a perfect fit; the clothing part was light and fitted, and the weight-bearing metal plates were relatively thin and tightly fixed, allowing her to move her muscles and joints easily during training.

Her training results have obviously declined. If compared by stage, her current performance in all aspects is 20 to 25 percentage points lower than when she first entered school.

This number may not seem large, but it is another matter when it comes to actual combat.

For example, if she were to compete in a 1200-meter race with a weighted race against an unweighted race, she would lose by more than 10 lengths.

However, this is also the purpose of this weight training. If she can fully adapt to the weight of 40 kilograms, her strength will definitely improve to a significant level when she takes off the weight.

It is definitely impossible to surpass your current self by 10 horse lengths. Weight training does not have the ability to transform you completely. If you really want to achieve a brand new effect, you still have to rely on daily accumulation.

But there is absolutely no problem in being a few meters faster than now. If this kind of progress can be sustained, the competition will definitely go more smoothly once we get into the center.

These are just simple reviews after the training. Kitahara has not yet conducted an in-depth analysis because Kyoko Miyamura has some suggestions to make.

After dinner, in the trainer's office, Kitahara and Miyamura Kyoko each had a cup of hot milk, and Miyamura Kyoko made an opening remark first.

"I would like to suggest that Mr. Kitahara add some medical testing methods to the training of Oguruma."

She got straight to the point: "I learned from the teacher that Mr. Kitahara has also studied international training methods and has thought about introducing some, such as medical testing."

This was indeed something Kitahara had thought about a long time ago. Before leaving for Tokyo, he mentioned this to his uncle Rokuhei Ginjiro.

But he knew from the beginning that this was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

The first is one’s own ability.

Sports medicine is already a very systematic and comprehensive applied science, covering health conditions, athletic ability and influencing factors, prevention and treatment of sports diseases, elimination of fatigue, injury recovery, and nutritional balance, all of which require extremely professional qualities.

He only knows a little bit, and at most some medical techniques from a training perspective. Apart from that, he can be said to know nothing.

He doesn't understand physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and anatomy, the three basic theories of medicine.

He has experience in clinical diagnosis, biochemical treatment, psychology and other fields, and also has some experience in psychology.

More in-depth, bacteriology, pathogenic bacteria, microbiology, genetics... let alone understanding these, he just knew the names.

Originally, he also planned to purchase some sports medicine equipment to assist in training before leaving Tokyo, while gradually deepening his studies.

But the appearance of Kyoko Miyamura made him change his mind.

Letting this ready-made medical student be in charge of this matter, and even responsible for the procurement of equipment, is obviously the best choice to make the best use of his talents.

"Yes, I have such an idea."

Beiyuan nodded and said, "According to my understanding, the international community already has a complete system in this field, which subdivides various indicators to a considerable degree and also has supporting professional equipment."

"Human body morphology index, terminal limb strength index, respiratory system ventilation capacity index, abdominal muscle function, heart rate function, flexibility function, dynamic reaction speed of the body's nervous system, normal strength and explosiveness of upper and lower limbs, and balance and coordination."

"These are roughly what I know. If there is anything incomplete, please point it out to me, Kyoko. Don't worry about anything."

...Is there anything else to correct?

You have mentioned all the 9 major body indicators, let me correct you again...

Do you want me to make up a new one?

Stunned by Kitahara's level of knowledge, Miyamura Kyoko suddenly became stage frightened.

"...Since you know all this, Mr. Kitahara, I suddenly feel that my suggestion is a bit redundant..."

Kitahara was stunned for a moment, and seeing the worried look on the little girl's face, he quickly realized that she had misunderstood. "It's impossible to be redundant."

He explained with a smile: "I just know the terms and at most a little bit about how they perform in training."

"But I don't know how to analyze from a medical perspective, how to collect relevant data, how to conduct analysis, and how to make the analysis results play a better role."

"To be honest, if you asked me to purchase these specialized equipment, I would definitely have a headache for a long time, and in the end I still wouldn't be able to buy the most suitable one."

"...Mr. Kitahara, you are being too modest..." Kyoko Miyamura was a little unconvinced.

"I'm not being modest, it's true."

Beiyuan was a little helpless. "I have checked some companies before."

"Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, Siemens, Thermo Fisher... there are many others. These top 100 international medical companies all have production lines in this area, with many brands and styles."

"If I go to buy, the reference standard is nothing more than what other trainers buy, and I will buy the same thing."

"The purchasing criteria of domestic trainers are different from those of foreign trainers, and different horse girls are suitable for different equipment. I may be able to learn a little bit about these by spending more time, but I may not be able to find a more suitable one."

“Besides, it’s a waste of time.”

Kitahara's eyes became sincere. "In other words, Kyoko, you are the expert in this area. I just heard you talk about this and wanted to ask you to help with the purchase in this area."

"Of course, I will find a way to pay for the purchase, and the college will reimburse some of it."

“Is that so? It seems I am still somewhat useful… That’s great…”

After saying something a little unconfidently, Kyoko Miyamura also showed a sincere look.

"I will also pay for the purchase. I still have some pocket money."

"I like Oguruma and the others very much. I have always liked horse racing girls. I chose to study medicine not only because many of my family members are doctors, but also because I wanted to do something for them."

"So leave these parts to me. This is also the purpose for me to discuss this with Mr. Kitahara."

She nodded seriously and then smiled bitterly.

"But for the other suggestions, I think I am a bit presumptuous, especially after discovering that Mr. Kitahara knows a lot about medicine..."

In response to the praise, Kitahara smiled casually.

"There's no need to say more. We're all thinking about Oguruma and the others, so just say whatever you want, Kyoko."

"No matter what, I'm just one person and I may not be able to consider everything carefully. So, Kyoko, your next suggestion may be of great help to me." There was encouragement in his tone.

"Is this so..."

Kyoko bit her lower lip, a look of hesitation lingered on her face for a while. She finally pursed her lips, puffed up her cheeks, and nodded with determination.

"Okay, then I'll just tell you."

"This part of the suggestion is actually related to training. Perhaps Mr. Kitahara has thought about it, but according to what Mr. Kitahara just said, I will continue to make the suggestion."

"International training systems such as parachute sprint training, wind tunnel training, gravity cabin training, biokinesiology simulation modeling, and the supporting digital training technology such as OmegaWave, which is a comprehensive competitive status diagnosis system..."

"Have you ever considered this, Mr. Kitahara?"
