How physiology testing gives combat sport athletes the edge.
As one of the leading performance testers of combat sports athletes in the UK. We have provided physiology testing for boxers, MMA athletes, BJJ practitioners, Taekwondo competitors, Judo players and their teams.
When you consider that combat sports have so many different factors that are essential for performance, strength, power, endurance and of course skill. It can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where weaknesses exist, and improvements can be made.
This is where our expertise comes in and our unique approach to testing and reporting that you won’t find anywhere else.
What we do differently is how we take your date and profile your performance to make sure we can pinpoint exactly how you compare to, and get an advantage over, your competition.
We do this by assessing your current training, your testing data and our insight, to work with you to develop programs that turn weaknesses into strengths, and strengths into superpowers.
Some questions we can provide answers for are…
How well does your performance engine work?
We can accurately assess not just the size of your engine but also where your engine works best. We don’t just test you and see you on your merry way, we try to understand your current training, how this impacts your engine and how best you can use this to your advantage in your competition.
Do you have a strong endurance base but struggle at high effort levels or vice versa?
Our profiles allow us to work out how you use your gears, where you have the most of you ‘power’ and then we provide the insight to create the specific programs you need to build the right kind of performance outcomes for your sport.
Is your gym or endurance training making you a better athlete or holding you back?
Simply doing what everyone else is doing, or what you see on the latest podcast will only get you so far. Then you need to understand how your training works with the complexities of your lifestyle, nutrition, and other factors.
Our detailed testing and consultation services can give you confidence you are doing the right thing in all aspects of your training and nutrition, and fine tune your current training to help you reach your goals... faster.
Is your nutrition doing the job it needs to meet your training, recovery and competition demands?
As fully qualified nutritionists who specialise in combat sports, we can provide a detailed analysis of your nutrition & metabolism how it meets your training demands, identify gaps that may be holding you back and ultimately work with you to provide a full nutrition strategy to maximise your body composition, performance, and recovery.
Is making weight a concern or always a struggle?
We profile your body composition to accurate detail your weight making ‘potential’. This includes same day and day before weigh approaches.
By combining nutrition assessment, body composition, training output and competition dates. We can work with you (and your team) to put a realistic weight making strategy in place to make sure you make weight easier than ever before.
These are just some of the many questions you might have, that we can help you find the answers to.
