sports performance labRUNNING ASSESSMENTS
Sports Performance Lab (SPL) offers a unique effective insight into running technique. The incredibly accurate data produced by the SPL technology gives coaches/ trainers , fitness and strength coaches and sports health professionals, as will as the athlete, precise information in which to base relevant protocols. Bioemchanical running assessments can be used to prevent injury, rehabilitation (speed up the recovery process after injury) as well as comcentrating on improved performance.
This assessment will give a useful overview of your running mechanics, identify apparent deficiencies and help develop strength and technique programmes to have you running at your best.
Biomechanical technology used: Zebris pressure sensor instrumented treadmill with 2-3 integrated high definition cameras. Time: 40 minutes; cost $130 + GST
To find a solution, it is imperative to find out what the problem is. Running incorporates many movement systems. With the use of the Zebris pressure sensored treadmill, and SImi Aktysis 2D/3D Movement Analysis Systems, SPL clinicians can offer an in depth look at your running mechanics not available any where else in Australia. SImi Aktysis is a motion analysis system incorporating 2 high speed cameras and a unique LED Marker system that allows precise capture of joint movements and angles which can be quickly measured, analysed and recorded. When combined with information generated from the pressure sensored treadmill, this assessment opens a new and exciting view on your running form that will have you running fast, running free.

In another Australian first, SPL offers the most in-depth and comprehensive running assessment available in the country by integrating the Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer and the revolutionary Delsys Trigno EMG system together with the SImi Aktysis motion analysis system incorporating up to 8 high speed cameras and a unique LED markerless system that allows precise capture of joint movements and angles which can be quickly measured, analysed and recorded. The Biodex Isokinetic system allow SPL clinicians to precisely measure particular muscle groups strength and ability to generate torque while the EMG is used to measure muscle activity in order to determine if the athlete is using the appropriate muscle at the right time. Sports practitioners have long been aware of the importance of strong gluteal and hip control and its relevance to effective and efficient running. With this information SPL clinicians will be able to identify any deficits in key muscle groups and enable the targeted training programs to increase strength and symmetry. When combined with the Tier 2 running assessment, we offer an assessment previously only available to the world’s most elite athletes.
