Performance Testing

Performance testing at Nexus HealthHub is designed to provide objective information about how you move, how strong you are and how your body performs under different physical demands.

Rather than relying only on observation or how someone feels, we use measurable data to help identify strengths, limitations and changes over time.

Performance testing can be useful for active individuals, athletes, people returning from injury and anyone who wants a clearer understanding of their current physical capacity.

We commonly assess people who want to:

  • Establish baseline performance data
  • Identify strength differences between sides
  • Assess movement quality
  • Measure lower-body force and power
  • Monitor rehabilitation progress
  • Support return-to-sport decisions
  • Track changes following strength training
  • Identify areas for future development
  • Better understand their current physical capacity

What to Expect

Your testing session is selected according to your goals, sport, injury history and current level of activity.

Depending on your needs, assessment may include:

  • Functional movement analysis
  • Range of motion testing
  • Strength testing
  • Grip strength assessment
  • Force plate testing
  • Balance and single-leg control
  • Jump testing
  • Neuromuscular performance testing
  • Left-to-right comparisons

We use technology from VALD Performance, including HumanTrak, ForceDecks and DynaMo, to collect objective measurements where appropriate.

Our Approach

Testing is only valuable when the information can be interpreted and applied.

At Nexus HealthHub, results are considered alongside your clinical history, training demands and individual goals rather than treating individual numbers in isolation.

The information can be used to help guide:

  • Exercise rehabilitation
  • Strength and conditioning
  • Personal training
  • Return-to-sport progression
  • Training priorities
  • Injury rehabilitation
  • Performance development

For patients recovering from injury, repeated testing can also provide measurable benchmarks throughout the rehabilitation process.

For athletes, testing can help establish a performance profile and highlight areas that may benefit from further strength, movement or conditioning work.

Who is Performance Testing For?

Performance testing is not limited to elite athletes.

It may be appropriate for:

  • Runners and endurance athletes
  • CrossFit and HYROX athletes
  • Strength athletes
  • Team-sport athletes
  • Recreational gym users
  • People returning from injury
  • Older adults wanting to monitor physical function
  • Individuals interested in proactive health and performance

Testing is tailored to the individual rather than using the same battery of tests for everyone.
