You will run on a treadmill in increments of less than one minute at a time. A Master’s-level performance physiologist will analyze your running form with the assistance of a markerless 3D motion capture system. This system will capture all movement and force being applied to the treadmill, as well as your running form. Following the test, you’ll have a 30 minute consultation about your unique results and recommendations on how to improve them.
