Athletic Training

Are you trying to enhance your athletic abilities and achieve your peak performance potential? Look no further than athletic and sports performance training with the motivating team of fitness professionals at Health Point. Athletes of all ages and abilities will see marked improvement in their sports performance after undergoing athletic training with our staff of personal trainers.

Sports Performance Lab

For anyone looking to improve their play, the sports performance lab at HealthPoint is the perfect place to start. It’s where we analyze an individual’s current physical abilities in order to develop training goals and improve how efficiently they perform. Our staff members will work with you on a personal level to provide you with the individualized fitness plan you’ve been looking for, ensuring you reach your ultimate fitness and athletic performance goals once and for all.

Our state-of-the-art equipment includes tools that are used to measure the following.

VO2 Max

VO2 Max measures a person’s aerobic capacity. VO2 Max measurements include the rate at which oxygen can be used by the heart, lungs, and muscles. Identifying and improving a person’s level of VO2 Max is the single best predictor of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. Your VO2 Max levels will be compared against your age, gender, and fitness level to determine your health and overall aerobic abilities.

Lactate Threshold

Your lactate threshold measures how quickly lactate accumulates in the muscles and blood. If you can perform within your personal lactate threshold, you can maintain aerobic effort with greater ease. On the other hand, if lactate builds up faster than your body can absorb it, you’re more likely to experience muscle fatigue. This threshold is used to identify an athlete’s potential and develop training zones to maximize the effects of training and improve athletic performance. This means improved performance and less fatigue to truly see the results you’re looking for.

Gait Abnormalities

We use video gait analysis to identify movement and muscle-activity abnormalities. By noting inefficiencies, our athletic trainers can develop a custom-tailored program to improve a person’s sports performance. Identifying gait abnormalities and addressing them early on can enhance aerobic performance and personal form while training with your fitness professional.

Sports Performance Training

After determining a person’s current physical abilities and training goals, specific sports performance training can target areas of improvement.

Sports performance training includes progressively more difficult drills and exercises that are tailored to be specific to your preferred sport. This type of targeted training can help improve your strength, speed, and agility. Our athletic trainers are encouraging and professional coaches who can provide the motivation you need to stay on track to improve your abilities and performance.
