Performance Testing
Sports Performance Testing
At Zenith Human Performance, we are committed to providing athletes with the most comprehensive and advanced performance testing services. Our goal is to empower athletes with the insights needed to optimize their training, enhance their performance, and achieve their ultimate potential. Our testing protocols are designed to evaluate an athlete's body composition, power, speed, strength, and energy systems using state-of-the-art technology and methodologies.
Body Composition Analysis
Understanding your body composition is crucial in assessing your physical fitness and formulating targeted training strategies. At Zenith, we utilize Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) powered by InBody technology. This advanced method measures your body's lean mass, fat mass, and overall water content, providing a detailed breakdown of your physical composition. The InBody devices apply alternating currents to measure impedance, offering precise and valuable data to tailor your training and nutrition plans.
Power Assessment
Power is a critical component of athletic performance, influencing your ability to accelerate, decelerate, and change direction efficiently.
- Lower Body Power: We employ cutting-edge force plates powered by Hawkin Dynamics to assess lower body power through vertical jump tests. This analysis not only measures your jump height but also evaluates your rate of force development (RFD), a key indicator of your explosive strength and agility.
- Upper Body Power: Upper body strength and power are evaluated using accelerometers, as seen with Gymaware technology. This tool measures the acceleration of your movements, such as during a bench press, providing insights into your upper body's power output.
Speed Testing
Strength Evaluation
Energy Systems Analysis
Athletic performance also hinges on the efficiency of your energy systems, which can be anaerobic or aerobic.
- Anaerobic Capacity: Anaerobic Capacity: To evaluate anaerobic capacity, we employ two distinct Wingate tests alongside a 3-minute anaerobic VO2Max test on the Wattbike. The first, a 6-second Wingate test, is designed to measure the power output of the Phosphocreatine energy system, crucial for explosive, short-duration efforts. The second, a 30-second test, assesses the output of the short-duration Glycolytic energy system, providing insights into your ability to sustain high-intensity efforts just beyond the immediate energy burst. These tests, in combination, offer a comprehensive view of your anaerobic power and capacity, essential for optimizing performance in high-intensity, short-duration activities.
- Aerobic Capacity: For endurance, the YO-Yo Aerobic VO2Max test assesses your maximal oxygen uptake, a key indicator of your aerobic endurance and efficiency.
Biomechanical Analysis
Every athlete undergoes a comprehensive biomechanical analysis, akin to our approach with personal training clients. This evaluation is crucial for identifying any biomechanical inefficiencies that could impact performance or increase the risk of injury. By understanding your body's mechanics, we can tailor your training to improve movement efficiency and athletic longevity.
At Zenith Human Performance, our 360 degree approach to athletic performance testing ensures that every aspect of your physical capabilities is meticulously assessed and optimized. Whether you're aiming to improve your speed, power, strength, or endurance, our team of professional kinesiologists is dedicated to helping you unlock your full athletic potential.
