Fitness level assessment
Fitness monitoring is a key component of modern sporting success. It allows performance tracking and highlights the athlete’s strengths and weaknesses, facilitating a more tailored approach to training along with that all-important psychological edge that comes with “total preparation”. Many physical factors are involved in human sporting performance, including aerobic endurance, strength and power, body composition and speed. All of these can be measured accurately at the Institute for Sport and Health in our state-of-the-art BASES accredited Human Performance laboratory. A testing programme is designed to fit the individual requirements and schedules of the client. Results are then put into the specific sporting context, and straightforward explanations are provided to the coach and/or individual athlete to help interpret the results towards practical outcomes.
The Human Performance Laboratory facilities include a large number of work ergometers (Bike, Arm, Treadmill, Rowing etc). Our extra-large treadmill (pictured, right) with harness allows special groups to be tested (e.g., wheelchair-bound athletes, extra-tall athletes, etc.).
