UNDERTAKE THE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE EXPERIENCE

PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE EXPERIENCE

The Professional Athlete Experience are specially designed packages that assess and enhance the key variables important for sport performance - strength, movement proficiency, function, fatigue and cardiovascular fitness. We also use our testing technology and clinical expertise to provide a complete rehabilitation package that replicates the professional athlete environment.

Led by our clinical director, Stephen Valassakis, who has a wealth of experience in professional sport, we use the technologies and strategies used from elite sport to help you achieve your goals, improve key athletic qualities, rehabilitate from injury and help you get ready for your next event in prime condition.

// OUR PRO ATHLETE PROTOCOLS
Pro Athlete Assessment (150 min)

$489

Book Now
For professional or aspiring athletes, this package provides a comprehensive physiological profile that will help you understand and identify your strengths and weaknesses. Ask us about re-testing offers.
Gain a complete understanding of your strength, power, metabolic & cardiovascular performance.
Pre-assessment and discussion of training/health goals, history & protocol
Clinical assessment, mobility and functional testing lead by clinical director, Stephen Valassakis - think of this as a 'pre-signing medical' - identifying the joint, tissue and mechanical factors that need to be considered in performance
Lower limb explosive power, reactivity, and strength assessment using our force plate & gyroscope/accelerometer technology  
Combined Advanced Lactate Threshold & VO₂ Max testing - we begin with threshold testing and then have a short rest before starting VO2 Max testing  
Add on further data-interpretation & training recommendations consult for just $110
IDEAL FOR:
Individuals training or competing in sport, looking to gain an understanding of their performance limitations and how to maximise their training effectiveness. Essential for identifying your ideal race pace and accurate training zones which can be used to overcome training plateaus and optimise performance. The additional VO₂ data allows for determination of 3 key values: your maximal heart rate, your VO₂ max, and your running (if completed on treadmill) economy (VO₂ cost at sub-maximal intensities). Force plate & gyroscope/accelerometer testing allows for an understanding of the physical & mechanical factors that may be limiting your performance, allowing for specific strength and conitining recommendations.

$169

Book Now
A test for individuals who want to analyse and understand their physical strengths & weaknesses, specific for your goals
Your Strength & Power profile provides key data to enhance performance, strategically design training and take you to the next level.
Pre-assessment and discussion of training/health goals & history
Lower limb strength & explosive power testing including:
- isometric mid thigh pull (posterior chain)
- isometric squat (anterior chain)
- countermovement jump (lower limb power)
- 10-5 test (plyometric power)
Add on upper limb strength & explosive power testing ($50):

IDEAL FOR:
Individuals competing in individual sport, team sport or health conscious individuals looking to analyse the physical aspect of your function and identify strengths and weaknesses. Our software allows for comparison to normative data to take you to the next level.

We gain data during our protocols on a variety of metrics important for triathlon performance:

  • Motor Control: Described as the initiation, grading, and regulation of movement involving the musculoskeletal and nervous system.
  • Strength Capacity: Also described as strength endurance, capacity measurements and programming assist in improving fatigue resistance of muscles.
  • VO2 Max: Is a measure of the body's capacity to maximally uptake oxygen from the environment and use it in skeletal muscle during intense full-body exercise (maximal oxygen consumption). It is considered the gold-standard measurement for cardiorespiratory fitness
  • Lactate Threshold: Described as the point at which lactate is produced and accumulates in the blood at a faster rate than it can be removed, leading to anaerobic fatigue.
  • Running Gait Deviations: A variety of deviations may be present during the running gait cycle that contribute to reduced efficiency, performance and increased injury risk. These are assessed through our IMU and video analysis technology.
  • Ventilatory Thresholds: Describes the relationship between physical exertion and ventilation. During VO2 Max testing, two key ventilatory thresholds (VT1 & VT2) are identified, which allows for specific training recommendations that improve these values moving forward.
