Peak exercise capacity is defined as “the maximum ability of the cardiovascular system to deliver oxygen to exercising skeletal muscle and of the exercising muscle to extract oxygen from the blood” Consequently, exercise tolerance is determined by three factors: Pulmonary gas exchange Cardiovascular performance Skeletal muscle metabolism RER for metabolism

Force plates, provide a range of athlete-specific information and a quantitative assessment for individuals may it be sports, exercise or even for rehabilitation purposes. Force plates are used to analyse the ground reaction force during walks, runs, or other physical exercise. Data collection from tests can be used to study and understand posture, power, and positions of movement, for diagnostic and rehabilitation. This information can be combined with other data, such as limb mechanics, to establish an athlete’s movement efficiency.

The NordBord is a hamstring testing system that measures strength and balance to help identify weaknesses and imbalances that can lead to performance issues and injury. It measures the strength of the hamstrings in each leg, detects imbalances in strength between the legs, tracks an athlete's progress over time and to create programs to help athletes strengthen their hamstrings and reduce their risk of injury and as a result enhance performance.

Testing for linear & non-linear sprints has been around for a while; the performance tracker uses high-resolution tracking in three dimensions. We can get the entire speed graph and track key sports parameters, including: Symmetry between left and right cuts (COD) Deficiency between left, right and linear sprints The player’s ability to accelerate and decelerate The performance tracker provides information on symmetry, the ability to change direction, maximum speed and the force-velocity profile. 

Reaction time or response time refers to the amount of time that takes places between perception and a response stimulus. If an athletes has substandard reaction time, he/she would have a disadvantage against the other athletes, with Reaction time and speed testing we aim to achieve a baseline and periodic testing to understand and enhance reaction and speed pertaining to sports performance and injury rehabilitation (back to sport).

The Speed Gates are designed to track and record speeds up to 40m in distance. The main objective of the speed gate is to reduce the human error and to measure accurate speed m/s. However the acceleration component needs to be calculated, therefore using speed gates along with the photon sport acceleration monitor can measure both speed and acceleration in one go.
