TIMING GATES
We follow the ECB principles of testing speed and directional change performance, allowing players to see how they stack up compared to county professionals. We are also able to customise tests for clubs, to measure , singles, twos, threes and fours, as well as fielding agility through tests like the T drill.
JUMP TESTING
A key battery of testing, with Countermovement, Squat, Drop, and Hop jumping all available for assessment. This helps to measure explosive power in players, which is critical in the modern game.
DYNAMO
One of the key metrics is the Isometric Mid Thigh Pull used across elite sports, we are also able to measure joint strength and balance for the entire body, allowing players the chance to see improvements, imbalances between the left and right side of the body, as well as those recovering from injury and wanting to monitor their performance as they progress through rehabilitation.
