Unlocking Performance Potential Through Testing at APEX PWR
At Apex PWR, we believe that understanding our athletes on a deeper level is the cornerstone of effective training. That’s why athlete testing is an integral part of what we do. Even if athletes aren’t recovering from an injury or surgery, we seek to gather additional insights that even the most experienced and skilled coaches cannot see with the naked eye. By utilizing cutting-edge technology such as Vald’s force frame, speed gates and force plates, we’re able to gather precise metrics that provide unparalleled insights into each athlete’s unique needs, abilities, and areas for improvement. Even better, these insights can tailor training to decrease risk of injury!
What We Tested with Athletes:
The purpose of these evaluations extends far beyond data collection. Testing allows us to:
- Measure Efficiency and Asymmetry: We identify any imbalances or inefficiencies that could hinder performance or increase injury risk.
- Understand Individual Needs: By analyzing the data, we gain a clear understanding of each athlete’s physical capabilities and limitations, providing a foundation for personalized training programs.
- Enhance Sports-Specific Performance: The insights we gather help us target areas that directly impact performance in key movements such as acceleration, deceleration, force production, and stability.
- Track Progress Over Time: Monthly testing allows us to monitor improvements, assess the effectiveness of training programs, and make adjustments to ensure continuous growth.
How Testing Shapes Our Training Programs
Armed with the insights from these tests, our coaches can design individualized training plans tailored to address each athlete’s specific needs outside of their sport. For example, a volleyball player might benefit from additional shoulder stability exercises, while a soccer player may need to focus on improving unilateral leg strength to enhance balance and explosiveness.
These programs don’t just improve physical performance—they also help build resilience and reduce the risk of injury, enabling our athletes to train harder, perform better, and stay in the game longer.
Why APEX PWR Stands Out
What sets Apex PWR apart is our commitment to data-driven training. By integrating advanced testing technology with expert coaching, we offer a level of precision and customization that few programs can match. Our athletes are not just participants—they’re partners in a process designed to help them reach their full potential.
