Athlete Testing
The Human Performance Laboratory is staffed by a team of physicians, exercise physiologists, physical therapists and students. By conducting a series of comprehensive evaluations and laboratory measurements, our team can identify the athlete’s fitness needs and provide the athlete with an individualized exercise prescription. Under the guidance of the HPL team, athletes can pinpoint their bodies’ strengths, weaknesses, physical potential, areas of performance enhancement and susceptibility to injury.
The Elite National Team is offered free athlete testing. All other groups (U23, EAP, Junior National, General Membership, Coaches) are offered packaged programs including medical fitness assessment, basic human performance testing and facility membership.
