At $125, that’s value for money to identify hidden gaps that could be holding you back.

Blood Lactate Threshold Testing

Lactate testing is a method of measuring appropriate cardiovascular training intensities so that ‘training zones’ can be established and training adaptations can be tracked over time.

The lactate levels are used to determine your ideal heart rate zones and workload at given intensities so that you can optimize the time and effort you put into training. With established aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, you are able to target your training to maximize the adaptations in your cardiovascular system to improve your performance.

VALD Force Plate Testing

VALD’s ForceDeck Dual Force Plate System utilizes force plates to detect and measure forces exerted onto the plates during movement or exercise.

This system allows customized data-driven programming to optimize rehabilitation and athletic performance, correct imbalances, and reduce the risk of injury.

VALD DynaMo Plus

The DynaMo Plus is an all-in-one handheld dynamometer and inclinometer that allows you to perform more than 300 strength and range of motion tests.

This is another tool in our toolbox to that helps us analyze your strength and range of motion, catching weakness before they turn into setbacks or injury!
