THE PERFORMANCE LAB
To perform at the highest level, you need to know how to train efficiently and effectively. PERFORMANCE TESTING measures how your body performs during exercise and activity and provides valuable data for your training. It is a process of measuring how your body performs during exercise and activity. It helps to identify your strengths and weaknesses, improve your performance, and prevent injury. Testing can be customized to your specific sport and uses the latest technology to assess various aspects of your fitness, such as flexibility, strength, breath control, posture, and more.
Our lab prides itself on a systematic testing approach to solving problems. You provide us with the data; we make educated decisions regarding your body, your exercise and your performance. We can use this data to assess athletic talent, identify physical abilities, strengths, weaknesses, areas in need of improvement. This data can be used to evaluate, set goals, or to determine the need for possible changes in the training program.
