DXA Scan - body composition |
DXA can be used to accurately measure your total body composition, which is useful for monitoring muscle mass and fat content following a training regimen. Participants lie on a bed for about five minutes while being scanned. It is a completely painless test after which you will receive a printout of bone, muscle and fat measures. You will need to fast overnight before this test. Please note: No referral is required for body composition assessment |

DXA scan - bone mineral density |
DXA can be used to accurately measure your bone mineral density and assess your total body composition, which is useful for monitoring muscle mass and fat content following a training regimen. Participants lie on a bed for about five minutes while being scanned. It is a completely painless test after which you will receive a printout of bone, muscle and fat measures. You will need to fast overnight before this test. Please note: Bone density scans require a referral from a GP, Accredited Practicing Dietitians, Sports Physicians, Physiotherapists, or Accredited Exercise Physiologists. No referral is required for body composition assessment. |

DXA scan - body composition & bone mineral density |
DXA can be used to accurately measure your bone mineral density and assess your total body composition, which is useful for monitoring muscle mass and fat content following a training regimen. Participants lie on a bed for about ten minutes while being scanned. It is a completely painless test after which you will receive a printout of bone, muscle and fat measures. You will need to fast overnight before this test. Please note: Bone density scans require a referral from a GP, Accredited Practicing Dietitians, Sports Physicians, Physiotherapists, or Accredited Exercise Physiologists. No referral is required for body composition assessment. |

| Strength and conditioning | ||||
| Strength and power (HUMAC) | Our comprehensive strength testing service uses a device called an isokinetic dynamometer - the gold standard for measuring strength and power - allowing us to accurately measure your upper and lower limb strength. This service is for you if you want to understand your strength and power profile to aid and improve performance or following recovery from injury. | $300 | 60 - 90 mins | Enquire now |
| Talent ID and Motor Skill | ||||
| Talent Test Package | The perfect solution for individuals and organisations looking to conduct comprehensive talent and motor skill assessments. Using sophisticated data-analysis and our state-of-the-art equipment, including inertial measurement units, timing gates, ball projection machines, interactive light-up devices, and virtual reality systems, we accurately measure key athletic potential metrics, such as: peak-height velocity, relative age, reaction time, decision-making, anticipation, agility, situation awareness, and coordination. Bespoke protocols can be developed, ensuring that testing is tailored to your specific performance and developmental needs. | POA Pricing will be negotiated based on the Talent Test equipment and consultation needed for the bespoke protocols developed. |

| Force plates | Our advanced force plates offer precise measurements of ground reaction forces, key for understanding an athlete's interaction with the ground, for a wide range of movements. They provide vital data on force production, power, impulse, balance and movement symmetry. These insights have practical applications in enhancing athletic performance. They can help optimise training, improve techniques and monitor rehabilitation, catering to a wide range of sports to push athletes towards their peak potential. Our force plate technology is not just a measurement tool, but a pathway to excellence in human performance. | $100 | 1 - 2 hours | Enquire now |

| VO2 max test | Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) is a measure of an athlete's aerobic and endurance capacity. A high oxygen ceiling is one of the key ingredients for all endurance and team sport athletes, and essential to sustaining high aerobic power outputs. | $200 | 1 hour | Enquire now |
| Lactate threshold test | A lactate threshold test assesses the exercise intensity at which you can train at to maximise endurance performance. This test involves repeated finger prick blood tests during cycling or running at increasing intensities and is useful for determining individual lactate responses that can inform training and pacing strategies. | $200 | 1 hour | Enquire now |
| Wingate Anaerobic Test (on a bike) | The Wingate Anaerobic Test measures your power output from energy pathways that do not require oxygen. This is a useful benchmark for power-based athletes or endurance athletes wishing to understand their sprinting capability and potential. | $70 | 1 hour | Enquire now |
