Welcome to the 360 Speed & Performance Lab!
The Performance Lab
Our sports science lab possesses state of the art technology used by the NBA, NFL, MLB and top tier collegiate programs. We offer complete athletic testing and provide actionable insight into your specific athleticism. We assess speed, power, 5 types of strength, mobility, body composition, readiness and movement quality.
Force plates are used to analyze the ground reaction force of athletes during walks, runs, or other physical exercises like jumping. A force plate is an instrument that allows coaches to detect and measure the force that is produced during physical exercise. At 360 we use Hawkin Dynamic, an industry standard use in all professional sports.
Velocity based training is a strength training method that uses velocity to describe training intensity and track strength progress. A piece of technology, commonly called a ‘VBT device’, measures bar velocity or movement velocity during a VBT exercise. At 360 we use Vitruve, which is also used in the NBA.
The Speed Lab
The 360 Speed Lab is part of the Universal Speed Rating (USR) system. USR is a specialized facility dedicated to assessing and improving the speed and performance of athletes. It provides a comprehensive approach to speed training through advanced testing and personalized programming.
Universal Speed Rating Lab
The USR Lab focuses on evaluating an athlete’s speed capabilities using a variety of state-of-the-art testing methods. These methods include biomechanical analysis, sprint tests, reaction time assessments, and other physical evaluations. The data collected from these tests, using our official laser timers, offer a detailed profile of an athlete’s speed strengths and weaknesses.
