Athlete testing and specialised services
Do you want to be able to run faster, throw further or jump higher? Athlete testing can give you a clear picture of your current ability and how you can improve your development, function and recovery.
Our expert testing team at the Health, Sports and Aquatic Centre deliver evidence‑based performance assessments to help athletes move better, train smarter and perform at their best. The service is open to anyone looking to enhance their training, understand their performance and reach new goals – including sporting organisations, schools and individual athletes.

Strength and conditioning
If you're involved in fast-paced and explosive sports (individual or team), we can test your:
- repetition maximum
- isometric strength
- force-velocity
- lift-specific force, velocity and power
- jump
- reactive strength index
- eccentric strength
- sprint power, force and speed
- agility and change of direction
- throwing velocity
- joint-specific strength
- body composition.
Clinical exercise physiology
If you've sustained an injury, our exercise physiologist can investigate the issue by conducting screenings and assessments such as:
- musculoskeletal injury
- falls risk
- neurological
- respiratory
- metabolic profile
- cognitive
- gait.
You'll then be prescribed exercise-based interventions designed to improve your health, function, recovery and independence.
