Force Plate testing gathers data on how you produce and absorb force, and identifies strength and power imbalances via a variety of jumping and squatting movements. The data collected provides insight into many aspects of performance and injury risk.
Our force plates contain sensors that capture data on the intensity, direction and timing of forces exerted by the body. During testing, you will perform movements like vertical jumps, squats and balance tests. Following the test, you’ll have a 30 minute consultation with a Master’s-level performance physiologist about your unique results and how to improve them.
Force Plate testing is recommended quarterly. Those rehabilitating an injury, training for a specific event and/or in-season team sport athletes may desire more frequent testing.
Force Plate testing is beneficial for athletes of all levels. Gaining insights on force production and absorption is a great way to improve performance and lessen injury risk. All sports require different levels of force generation and a Force Plate assessment is a great way to measure and monitor your current strength. These metrics are especially useful for anyone looking to improve their performance, monitor recovery from injuries or assess fatigue levels.
