Human Powered Health Cycling Team Visits Wellesley Performance Lab

The Human Powered Health Cycling Team is headed into 2025 on a high note. Last month, the team visited our state-of-the-art Performance Lab in Wellesley for an eventful weekend. The weekend included various baseline performance testing and team-building activities to lay the foundation for a successful season.

After a successful 2024 season, the Human Powered Health Cycling Team is ready to tackle 2025. Guided by our expert performance physiologists, including Master’s and PhD-level specialists, the athletes received comprehensive performance testing. Personalized, data-driven strategies are now in place to optimize their training and help them achieve peak performance for the demanding season ahead.


In addition to fitting the athlete’s bikes, we assessed their balance, strength and endurance. The tests were all designed to empower them to perform at their best during off-season training and throughout the upcoming season.

Human Powered Health Performance Director Therese Hammerschmith spoke on the importance of performance testing for athletes, “Gathering baseline measurements in the lab provides a data-driven lens for how each athlete should approach their offseason and ramp back into training at the appropriate time.”

She also discussed the impact this performance testing will have on the overall team, saying, “This comprehensive data allows the coaches to be very strategic about how they will plan individual training as well as team training camps, to set the athletes up for success not only for optimal performance but for their overall health and wellbeing.”
