Measure instead
of guessing.

A test is 60 minutes on Hawkin Dynamics force plates and laser timing. You see your strengths and weak spots in numbers, then use them to adjust your program or track your progress.

Know if you're progressing.

Without numbers, you can't tell if you're progressing. A test measures your jump, strength, speed and the gap between your left and right sides. You adjust your program from facts.

Who it is for.

  • › You're starting a program and want your baseline numbers.
  • › You're finishing a program and want to measure your progress.
  • › You're a competitive athlete, a lifelong athlete or a team.

Hawkin force plates
Vertical jump, drop jump, broad jump
Your jump height, power per kilo, reactive strength and the gap between your left and right leg.

Speed and change of direction

Laser timing
10 m or 10-yard sprint, 5-10-5 (pro agility)
Your acceleration over the first steps and how well you brake and go again.

Strength

Squat (estimated max load), max pull-ups, trap bar, bench press, grip strength
Your lower and upper body strength base.

Repeated efforts

AirBike: 6 sprints of 8 s with 20 s rest. Sled push. Heart rate 2 min after the effort.
Your peak power, how much you lose from one sprint to the next and how fast your heart rate comes down.

Mobility and control

Bodyweight squat, toe touch, overhead shoulders, ankle, hips (Thomas test), landing on one and two legs, single-leg balance with eyes open then closed
A green, yellow or red flag for each test. Yellows and reds become your priorities.

Measurements and how you feel today

Height, weight, wingspan. Questions on sleep, stress, soreness and injuries.
The context to read your results of the day.

By sport.

Hockey

OP Hockey camp: jump and left-right gap, 10 m sprint, 5-10-5, squat, pull-ups, AirBike, heart rate recovery, mobility and questionnaire. We retest during the summer.

Basketball

Height, wingspan, vertical jump, broad jump and sprint. Each result is placed against the group.

Football and flag

Force plate jumps, broad jump, 10-yard sprint, 5-10-5, trap bar, bench press and sled push.

Private testing

Mobility and control with flags, pull-ups, 5-10-5, sprint speed, grip strength and AirBike.

What the coach takes from it

He produces force quickly. The right-left gap stays under the 10% threshold, but it shows up on every jump. We check it with a single-leg jump before adjusting his program.

FAQ

What's the Hawkin?
Force plates from Hawkin Dynamics. They measure, in real time, your vertical jump, your pulling force and how fast you produce force. They also show the strength gap between your left and right side. Standard equipment on NHL and NCAA teams, and here. They're what turns "I got better" into "here is by how much".
What if I need to cancel?
It's free up to 24 hours before. Under 24 hours, we bill the session, except for a documented medical emergency.
