The Complete Athlete Profiling combines endurance testing, movement strategy analysis and force plate power testing into a single 3-hour session. This article explains what each area reveals and how the data connects.

An athlete who only tests their endurance knows their aerobic ceiling and thresholds. But they do not know how their body organises movement or whether they are producing force efficiently.
An athlete who only tests power output knows their force production numbers but does not know whether the strategy behind that output is sustainable or compensatory.
The value of the Complete Athlete Profiling is integration — how all three data sets connect to give a more complete picture than any single test provides alone.
The endurance component establishes the aerobic ceiling, identifies lactate thresholds and calculates real training zones. For any athlete whose performance depends on sustained aerobic output, this data gives a clearer training foundation than estimated metrics.
The movement component looks at how the body organises itself — the positions it uses, the base of support it relies on, and why movement limitations exist. Guided by that model, it gives a strategy-based picture rather than a list of restrictions. The finding shapes training direction for movement quality, injury risk management and technique.
The power component uses Hawkin Dynamics force plates to measure force production, power output and asymmetry. It gives objective data on how force is generated and expressed — data that cannot be reliably estimated from standard gym-based strength tests.
The three assessment areas are delivered as an integrated picture. An athlete with strong endurance data but significant movement asymmetry and compensatory force strategy gets a very different set of priorities than an athlete with solid movement and power but underdeveloped endurance.
That specificity is the point. Generic programming cannot achieve what a programme built from this data can.
Yes — it is the ideal starting point. It gives the coaching team everything needed to build a properly structured programme.
