Sports Performance FAQs
What is sports performance testing?
Sports performance testing covers the essential physiological systems that impact your performance. Efficiency, power, strength, speed, and ability to recover are some of the elements which can contribute to optimal performance in your chosen sport. Sports performance testing addresses these elements to give you the data you need to hit and maintain peak performance.
Who can benefit from sports testing?
Professional athletes often get their performance tested as often as weekly. However, any athlete can benefit from understanding which elements of their fitness and strength may be holding them back in their chosen sport. Sports performance testing is for any athlete looking to optimise their performance through a data-backed approach.
What can the Vital360: Hit Peak Performance service offer me?
The Vital360 is the most comprehensive sporting assessment available to you as an athlete, whether you compete or are starting out on your journey. Some of the tests can cut short what would be weeks or months of learning about how your body reacts to the stimulus of exercise, and others will improve the way you fuel and recover.
Do you have any services for sports teams and clubs?
Absolutely. We offer body composition services to more than 25 of the UK’s top-performing teams in Professional Football and Pro Rugby, as well as British Diving, Hockey, Boxing, and many more sports. Head over to our Clubs and Teams page to learn more about our mobile services for sports clubs.
Can a DEXA scan help improve my athletic performance?
Yes. A body composition DEXA scan is a critical element of sporting performance. The DEXA is the most common test we perform for professional athletes, and we have tested well over 1000 professional UK and international athletes in the last year alone. In most sports you need to be able to transport your bodyweight, if you have a lot of muscle that will help you, but if you have too much fat, that can hinder you. Knowing exactly which side of the equation you need to work on most helps increase your efficiency.
What sports performance data can a VO2 Max test give me?
A VO2Max test can tell you how fit and effective your cardiovascular system is. Sports require you to use energy—to generate this energy, we need oxygen in the blood. Your cardiovascular system is responsible for taking the oxygen in the air, and getting it into the bloodstream. When you are working at the limits of your body’s capacity to do this, this is called your VO2Max—and this may well be the single factor which is limiting your performance. In addition to the overall score, our VO2Max test can give you how efficiently you are using fuel, allowing you to focus your training on improving this vital metric.
How can I improve my sports performance?
Training smart starts with having the right data at your disposal. Our sports performance tests equip you with the info you need to bolster your strengths and address your weaknesses. To improve your sports performance we always recommend testing, training, and repeating the test to check for improvement.
Will your services help me in my particular sport?
We think so, but there are some biases involved. Much of the testing we do is stuff that is hard to do yourself because it requires specialised (and expensive) equipment, and sports scientists to administer them. This means that much of the testing does favour sports which require some element of endurance. If you are more into a power sport like weightlifting, sport climbing, or shot put, then while you would still benefit from a DEXA and the functional movement assessment, you may not need the whole package of tests. If in doubt, ping us an email and ask—we’re always happy to make personalised recommendations on which tests will help you most.
