NextGen High Performance Athlete Fitness Testing

A specialized High School Athlete Performance Testing Day designed to give Niagara athletes access to university-level sport science testing.

Each 3.5-hour session includes sport-specific testing using our VALD speed, strength, and movement systems, plus aerobic assessments and mobility screens. We currently support athletes in hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, rowing, track & field, and cross-country.

What’s Included:

  • Speed testing (10m, 20m)
  • Power assessments using VALD ForceDecks
  • Strength testing (VALD Dynamo)
  • Agility & change of direction
  • Mobility & movement analysis
  • Aerobic capacity testing (Yo-Yo or treadmill/bike submax)
  • Individual athlete scorecards
  • A team-level summary report for coaches

Our goal is to provide affordable, evidence-based testing usually only available to varsity or professional athletes.

We are offering  ½-day testing sessions in 2026 with 4 dates available:

April 30, May 1, May 2 and May 4
