What We Offer
Elite-level sport science, rehabilitation, and performance profiling — for individual athletes and teams.
VO2 Max & Blood Lactate
The gold standard of endurance assessment. We map your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds to build the scientific foundation for a truly specialised training programme.
VO2 Max — Metabolic Profiling
Available across treadmill, cycle, or rowing ergometry. We define your physiological ceiling, map your thresholds, and calculate precise substrate utilisation — the exact grams of carbohydrate your body oxidises at specific intensities. You'll receive a bespoke report with mile-by-mile pacing strategies and fuelling guides tailored to your target event.
Engineer Your Next PBBlood Lactate Profiling
Standalone or integrated with your VO2 Max test for a dual-profile analysis. We identify your exact lactate thresholds and measure VLamax — your maximum glycolytic rate — to define true training zones with total accuracy. The result is a definitive guide to your metabolic efficiency and the clarity to balance intensity with recovery.
Identify Your ThresholdsRehab & Sport Therapy
A professional-grade rehabilitation environment at the Eco-Power Stadium. We bridge the gap between acute injury and peak performance — combining clinical expertise with world-class facilities.
Sports Massage & Soft Tissue Therapy
Advanced manual techniques to alleviate chronic muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance joint range of motion. Targeted myofascial work to reduce overuse injury risk and decrease DOMS.
Whether integrated into a heavy training block or used as a pre-event primer, our targeted approach ensures your musculoskeletal system remains resilient and ready to perform at its absolute limit.
Game Ready® Cryotherapy & Compression
The industry-leading cold compression system combining active pneumatic compression with circumferential cold therapy. Goes far beyond traditional ice packs to penetrate deep into soft tissue.
By mimicking the body's natural muscle contractions, the system flushes metabolic waste and enhances oxygenated blood flow. Whether managing an acute injury, post-surgery recovery, or freshening legs between training sessions, our protocols provide clinical-grade temperature control for faster healing.
"I would like to thank Josh and everyone at HPC for running such great facilities and for making me feel so welcome. I was so apprehensive about the experience, but there really was no need!"
Fire Cupping & Myofascial Decompression
Traditional recovery refined for the modern athlete. Localised vacuum therapy increases blood flow and stimulates the lymphatic system to break down stubborn adhesions and release deep-seated tension.
This process improves overall mobility in ways manual massage alone cannot achieve. Our cupping protocols are tailored to your specific training load, ensuring your fascia remains supple and recovery is as efficient as your performance.
Injury Assessment & Biomechanical Profiling
Data-driven assessments powered by VALD technology. ForceDecks, ForceFrame, and Dynamo systems provide an objective, high-resolution map of your physical capabilities.
This assessment identifies subtle strength asymmetries and neuromuscular deficits that the human eye cannot detect. We measure real-time force production, eccentric braking capabilities, and isometric strength to establish a baseline of your "athletic signature" — ensuring you only return to full intensity when the data confirms you're ready.
Return to Play Monitoring
Bridging the gap between the treatment table and competitive play. Rigorous, data-led protocols verify athletic readiness by cross-referencing current output against pre-injury baselines.
We track key metrics such as rate of force development and eccentric strength symmetry to identify any lingering red flags before they lead to re-injury. This provides both athlete and coach with confidence that return to play is backed by clinical data.
Individual Performance Profiling
Whether you're targeting a sub-3-hour marathon, a triathlon podium, or a full-distance Ironman — we analyse your unique physiological signature to identify your limiters and untapped strengths.
Endurance Sport Profiling
A deep-dive assessment for runners and multisport athletes. We evaluate metabolic efficiency, power-to-weight ratios, and technical economy to map current fitness versus your target PB.
Build Your Profile
Precision Race Pacing & Fuelling
Race-day strategy rooted in your unique metabolic data. We factor in environmental variables like temperature to provide a mile-by-mile blueprint for optimal pace and hourly carbohydrate requirements.
Get Your Race Blueprint
Running Mechanics & Force Profiling
High-resolution analysis of your gait kinetics. We determine whether you're "muscle-driven" or "tendon-driven" and identify the imbalances that lead to inefficiency or injury.
Optimise Your Mechanics"As a competitive runner and endurance athlete I wanted some VO2 max testing to inform my current level and enhance my training. The HPC facilities are state-of-the-art and accessible, and the team were knowledgeable and encouraging. It was a fascinating experience and I can't wait to visit again soon!"
Metabolic Efficiency & Substrate Mapping
Identify your precise crossover point between fat oxidation and carbohydrate reliance. We calculate your "burn rate" at any given intensity — the foundation of a professional-grade fuelling strategy.
Map Your MetabolismSpeed, Strength & Power Profiling
85% of competitive sprints involve curved runs, decelerations, or sharp cuts. A straight-line time isn't enough. We provide a comprehensive mechanical breakdown from top to bottom.
Elite Speed & Multidirectional Profiling
High-precision Smart Speed gates for split times with millisecond accuracy. We test linear velocity alongside 5-10-5 agility, integrating force profiling and ROM testing.
Map Your Velocity
Force-Velocity Profiling & Sprint Mechanics
Detailed Force-Velocity Profile that categorises your athletic signature. We analyse horizontal and vertical force components to identify exactly where your speed "leaks" are occurring.
Optimise Your Mechanics
Strength & Power Profiling
Using the Dynamic Strength Index (DSI) to identify the gap between absolute strength and explosive power. We determine with precision whether training should bias heavy loading, plyometrics, or both.
Identify Your Training Bias
Neuromuscular Force Analysis
We analyse your "Athletic Signature" — Rate of Force Development and eccentric braking impulses — to reveal how quickly you can produce and absorb force. Critical for injury prevention and explosive performance.
