Our Initial Evaluation uses the same assessment protocols trusted in professional and Olympic sport. Every data point is compared against validated research and normative values — so your program is built on evidence, not guesswork.
Performance Profile
Athlete vs. Normative
Force Plate
Ground Reaction Force Curve
Countermovement Jump — sample output
Speed Benchmarking
40-Yard Dash vs. Norms
Lower = faster • "You" shown in orange
Force Plate
Dynamic Strength Index (DSI)
Ratio of ballistic peak force (CMJ) to isometric peak force (IMTP). Reveals if an athlete is strength-deficit (<0.60) or ballistic-deficit (>0.80).
Force Plate
Eccentric Utilization Ratio (EUR)
Compares CMJ to Squat Jump height. EUR >1.0 indicates good stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) utilization. Critical for reactive sport performance.
Body Composition
Lean Mass vs. Body Fat %
Measured at eval and tracked at every reassessment. Drives nutrition plan calorie targets and monitors body recomposition progress over time.

The Protocol
Each category is grounded in peer-reviewed sports science. Click "Research basis" on any card for the supporting evidence.
Every athlete moves through a standardized battery of fundamental patterns. We score each movement against validated research protocols and flag left-right asymmetries — a key predictor of non-contact injury risk. Your mobility, stability, and motor control baseline is mapped before a single training session begins.
Our force plate captures ground reaction force data at 1,000 Hz — the same technology used in professional and Olympic sport settings. We measure peak force, rate of force development (RFD), and vertical power output. This reveals how explosively your neuromuscular system can recruit muscle fibers under load.
The majority of non-contact ACL and lower extremity injuries occur during deceleration, cutting, and landing — not acceleration. We assess your stop mechanics, single-leg landing control, and cutting technique under both controlled and reactive conditions to identify mechanical deficits before they become injuries.
Proprioceptive testing goes beyond standing on one leg. We assess dynamic postural control, reactive stability, and the speed of your neuromuscular feedback loop. Deficits here are invisible in normal movement but become major liabilities under fatigue and sport-specific demand.
Linear speed and multi-directional agility are measured with timing gates to produce objective, sport-comparable benchmarks. Results are mapped against position- and age-matched normative data so you can see exactly where you rank and how much runway you have for improvement.
We establish baseline strength across the key movement patterns — squat, hinge, push, pull, and single-leg — and assess your ability to sustain output over time. This data drives loading decisions for every phase of your program and sets measurable targets for your reassessment.
Body weight and body fat percentage are recorded and used alongside your training load and goals to build a personalized nutrition plan — daily calorie targets, macronutrient splits for both training and rest days, and hydration targets. Your food becomes part of the program, not an afterthought.
Benchmarked Against Research
Raw data alone doesn't tell the full story. We compare every metric against age-, sex-, and sport-matched normative datasets so you know not just what you scored, but where you stand — and exactly what to work on.

Athlete Profiling
After testing, every athlete is classified into one of four performance profiles. Your profile determines the exact training emphasis, progressions, and priorities built into your program.
High mobility. Limited power base.
Excellent movement quality and flexibility, but force production and strength outputs lag behind. Training priority: progressive overload, RFD development, and building a power base without compromising mobility.
High force. Limited mobility & agility.
Strong force outputs and excellent power potential, but movement quality and change-of-direction mechanics are limiting performance and raising injury risk. Training priority: mobility, deceleration mechanics, and reactive agility.
Fast & powerful. Needs structural control.
High speed and power outputs, but proprioceptive control and landing mechanics create injury risk under fatigue. Training priority: neuromuscular stability, deceleration quality, and building durability to match the speed.
Well-rounded. Optimized for peak output.
Balanced force production, movement quality, speed, and control. Training priority: refining technical efficiency, maximizing sport-specific outputs, and peaking for competition.
