Force Decks
- Force plates that allow the assessment of the body's movement between limbs, and able to measure stability and strength.
- This technology can assess explosive movement, static, balance, and dynamic movements which are parameters involved in common sporting movements
WHY IS IT USEFUL?
- It provides readings including jump height, weight transfer between limbs and force produced, in which is an indicator of muscular power. Power and explosivity declines with age so it is useful to repeat these tests each year to compare results and track progress
Speed Gates
- A timing gate to assess sprint time and agility.
- Can add more than one gate (set of cameras) to view speed at different points within one sprint.
WHY IS IT USEFUL?
- Can be used for different sports such as measuring an athletes squat jump, completing a hop test, interval sprints and general fitness testing. It can be useful for non-athletes as you can conduct the test before, during, and after a fitness programme and compare progression.
TANK Sled
- Tool that acts as a resistance sled, in which you can change the weight on the machine using a pin, without manually adding plates.
- Can be pushed, pulled or left stationary to offer a full body workout.
WHY IS IT USEFUL?
- It can be used to develop general strength and fitness and is able to target often neglected muscles such as the tibialis anterior used for balance. It is also used to rehabilitate people with injuries such as shin splints and achilles pain
Blaze Pod Reaction Timer
- Reaction timer to improve hand-eye coordination, agility and speed.
- Can use it individually or get competitive with friends!
WHY IS IT USEFUL?
- Helps athletes improve reaction time in their sports such as mimicking a sprint start gun, or to help react to a tackle in football. It is useful for non-athletes to benefit them in everyday life and tasks.
