Sport-Specific Assessments

The same assessment, focused on your sport — benchmarks and program priorities dialed in to what your body actually does in competition.

Our Performance Assessment is the foundation. When you compete in a specific sport, we take the same protocol and tune the interpretation, benchmarks, and program priorities to match its demands. Same technology, same rigour — focused on what matters most for your sport. Select yours below.

Hockey Performance Assessment

On-ice power starts off the ice. We measure what the scoreboard can’t.

What we measure and why

  1. Hip abductor strength — groin injury risk — the #1 soft-tissue injury in hockey. Asymmetry over 15% flags elevated risk and guides targeted loading.
  2. Hip rotation balance — skating mechanics and puck protection depend on rotational hip control; imbalance predicts chronic hip and groin breakdown.
  3. Single-leg squat quality — every stride is a single-leg load; knee collapse here predicts breakdown over a season.
  4. Shoulder rotation balance — board battles and shot mechanics load the rotator cuff; imbalance leads to AC joint and labral injuries.
  5. Explosive power — acceleration, edge transitions, and burst speed are all trainable — and all measurable.
Common injuries we target
  • Groin strains and adductor tears
  • Hip flexor overload
  • Athletic pubalgia
  • AC joint injuries
  • Knee ligament stress
Return-to-sport benchmarks

Limb symmetry ≥90% for all lower-limb groups. H:Q ratio 0.60–0.75. Hip abductor deficit ≤10% side-to-side.

Program focus

Skating power, groin resilience, hip rotational control, explosive acceleration.

Golf Performance Assessment

A few degrees of hip mobility can cost you 15 yards and a healthy back.

What we measure and why

  1. Hip internal rotation — trail-hip rotation drives backswing depth; loss of range is the leading predictor of low back pain in golfers and a direct limiter of clubhead speed.
  2. Hip abductor strength — lateral pelvic stability through the swing separates consistent ball-striking from low-back-loading compensation.
  3. Thoracic rotation — clubhead speed depends on separating the torso from the hips; restriction shifts demand to the lumbar spine.
  4. Glute strength — the engine of the downswing — weak glutes mean the low back compensates and eventually gives out.
  5. Single-leg balance under load — the follow-through demands sustained control at the lead hip; loss of control produces blocked shots and lateral hip stress.
Common injuries we target
  • Low back pain
  • Lead hip impingement
  • Lateral elbow pain
  • Rotator cuff strain
  • Neck strain from follow-through
Return-to-sport benchmarks

Hip internal rotation ≥40° both sides. Glute symmetry within 10%. Thoracic rotation ≥45°.

Program focus

Hip mobility, rotational power, lumbar off-loading, shoulder stability.

Soccer Performance Assessment

90 minutes demands elite capacity in every plane of movement.

What we measure and why

  1. Hamstring:quad ratio — the most predictive marker for hamstring strain — the #1 injury in soccer. Target ≥0.60.
  2. Hip adductor strength — groin injuries account for 10–15% of all soccer injuries; an adductor-to-abductor ratio below 0.80 is addressable risk.
  3. Landing mechanics — ACL risk is driven by knee position and trunk lean on deceleration — captured in 3D before symptoms develop.
  4. Single-leg strength symmetry — side-to-side deficits over 10% predict non-contact injury within a season.
  5. Hip flexor endurance — repeated sprinting taxes the hip flexors; fatigue compensation causes second-half back and groin pain.
Common injuries we target
  • Hamstring strains
  • Groin pain
  • ACL injuries
  • Ankle sprains
  • Patellar tendinopathy
Return-to-sport benchmarks

H:Q ≥0.60. Quad and hamstring symmetry ≥90%. Adductor:abductor ratio ≥0.80.

Program focus

Hamstring resilience, deceleration control, groin capacity, sprint mechanics.

Tennis Performance Assessment

Every serve, split step, and forehand demands something different. We measure all of it.

What we measure and why

  1. Shoulder rotation strength & ratio — overhead serving builds imbalance over time, leading to rotator cuff and labral injuries that are preventable with early correction.
  2. Wrist and forearm strength — tennis elbow is the signature injury; force deficits are identified before symptoms develop.
  3. Hip abductor strength — court coverage and split-step landings demand lateral hip stability; weakness shows up as knee and hip pain.
  4. Ankle stability under load — hard courts and rapid direction change make ankle control critical.
  5. Trunk rotation strength — groundstroke and serve power start at the torso; asymmetry drives elbow and shoulder overload.
Common injuries we target
  • Tennis elbow
  • Rotator cuff tendinopathy
  • Hip flexor strain
  • Patellar tendinopathy
  • Ankle sprains
Return-to-sport benchmarks

Shoulder rotation ratio 0.65–0.75. Forearm symmetry within 10%. Hip abductor symmetry within 10%.

Program focus

Shoulder resilience, forearm load capacity, lateral power, ankle stability.

Swimming Performance Assessment

In a sport measured in hundredths of a second, mechanical efficiency is everything.

What we measure and why

  1. Shoulder rotation balance — swimmer’s shoulder affects up to 70% of competitive swimmers; rotational imbalance is the primary driver.
  2. Shoulder flexion & extension strength — freestyle and butterfly demand exceptional overhead pulling strength; deficits drive neck and shoulder pain.
  3. Hip flexor strength & flexibility — flip-turn speed, underwater kick, and undulation all start at the hip flexor chain.
  4. Thoracic mobility — overhead motion requires full upper-back extension; stiffness shifts load to the low back and shoulders.
  5. Trunk stability under load — efficient power transfer from pull to kick requires a stable core — leakage costs speed.
Common injuries we target
  • Shoulder impingement
  • Swimmer’s shoulder
  • Low back pain
  • Breaststroke knee pain
  • Neck strain
Return-to-sport benchmarks

Shoulder rotation ratio ≥0.65. Bilateral shoulder symmetry within 10%. Thoracic extension ≥25°.

Program focus

Shoulder balance, thoracic mobility, hip flexor strength, core stability.

Cycling Performance Assessment

Thousands of pedal strokes per hour amplify every biomechanical flaw.

What we measure and why

  1. Quad strength & symmetry — the primary power generator; asymmetry over 10% drives saddle imbalance, IT band syndrome, and knee pain.
  2. Hip flexor length & strength — sustained riding position shortens the hip flexors, tilting the pelvis and loading the low back on long rides.
  3. Glute & hip abductor strength — pelvic drop on the down-stroke drives knee collapse and IT band overload — the most common overuse injury in cyclists.
  4. Knee tracking control — tracking through the full pedal revolution predicts kneecap and IT band issues before they become symptomatic.
  5. Low-back endurance — prolonged flexion demands endurance from the posterior chain; fatigue costs comfort and measurable power.
Common injuries we target
  • IT band syndrome
  • Patellar tendinopathy
  • Low back pain
  • Saddle-related groin pain
  • Achilles tendinopathy
Return-to-sport benchmarks

Quad symmetry within 10%. Hip abductor symmetry within 10%. Hip flexor length within normal limits.

Program focus

Quad symmetry, hip stability, posterior chain endurance, low-back resilience.
