Sports Performance Profiling Cheshire
Unlock your full potential with comprehensive testing
What is sports performance Profiling?
Sports performance profiling is a comprehensive assessment that measures the key physical and physiological qualities underpinning athletic performance. This includes aerobic capacity, anaerobic threshold, muscular strength, power, stability, and endurance. We employ world-class technology through a sports specific and completely individualised lens to provide a 360° picture of your current performance capacity and injury risk.
While each standalone test (VO₂ Max, RMR, VALD strength analysis) provides valuable insight on its own, the real power of profiling comes from linking these results together. By combining data across energy systems, fuelling, and strength capacity, we can really unlock your potential
Unlock Your Full Potential with Performance Profiling
Our Performance Profiling Packages combine world-class testing — VO₂ Max, Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), and VALD ForceDecks strength testing all into one integrated assessment. Whether you’re a runner chasing PBs or an athlete looking for general strength, conditioning, and fuelling insights, we give you the data you need to train smarter, recover better, and perform at your peak.
Linking all of these bits of data together and combining that with your Injury history, goals and training availability is where we really take things to the next level. This goes beyond the insights you can gather from a single test and allows for more refined programming, decision making and tracking of progress - A personalised profile of your performance.
If your VO₂ max is strong but your RMR suggests poor fuelling, we can identify that it may be nutrition may be limiting recovery.
If your endurance numbers are solid but VALD testing shows strength or endurance imbalances, we can more accurately pinpoint why you’re breaking down late in races.
If your aerobic capacity is good but your quads seem to fatigue and hold you back, our strength and symmetry testing can identify if this is a quadriceps issue or something else in the chain.
If you’re struggling to progress, linking aerobic, strength, and metabolic data highlights exactly where the bottleneck might be.
This integrated approach removes the guesswork and provides actionable answers, not just numbers. It allows you to train with precision, reduce injury risk, and track meaningful progress over time.
Whether you’re chasing a new PB, returning from injury, preparing for HYROX, or aiming to reach the next level in your sport, performance profiling gives you the why behind your performance and the roadmap to improve it.

VO2 Max Testing
Our VO2 Max Testing gives you the gold standard measure of aerobic fitness, showing exactly how much oxygen your body can use during exercise. Using VO₂ Master technology, we identify your aerobic capacity, ventilatory thresholds, and personalised training zones, helping you fuel smarter, pace accurately, and unlock faster, more efficient cardiovascular performance
-
Resting metabolic rate (RMR)
Know exactly how many calories your body burns at rest — no guesswork. Our RMR test uses indirect calorimetry (VO₂ Master) to measure oxygen use and CO₂ output, giving a precise daily energy baseline (kcal/day) plus insights into fuel use (fat vs carbohydrate via RER), breathing efficiency, resting heart rate, and HRV.
-
Power and strength testing
Our ForcePlate & Dynamometry Testing with VALD technology provides precise insights into your strength, power, balance, and movement mechanics. By measuring asymmetries, force production, and control, we can identify weaknesses, reduce injury risk, and track progress over time. Whether you’re returning from injury or chasing peak performance, this data-driven approach takes the guesswork out of training and rehabilitation.
