Movement & Force Strategy Analysis in London
Structured movement assessment with force plate testing, interpreted together
Two assessments in one appointment. The movement work establishes what options your body currently has and which strategy it relies on. The force plates then show what that strategy looks like when you have a fraction of a second to organise yourself and produce force. One tells you what is available; the other tells you what you actually do with it under pressure.

What options you have, and what you do with them.
Each assessment answers a different question. The value is in the relationship between the two answers, which is why they are reported as one interpretation rather than two documents.
01The movement options available to youWhat your body can currently get to, and where it cannot.
How we measure it
A structured assessment of positions, shapes and relative motion across a range of tasks, using the UHPC model, with video captured throughout.
Why it matters
Establishes the range your system can actually organise itself within. A strategy is a solution to the options available — so knowing the options is what makes the strategy interpretable rather than merely observable.
02The strategy you rely onHow you solve a task, and why that solution may be there.
How we measure it
How you manage pressure and shape as load and position change, and where motion is available or restricted between segments.
Why it matters
The aim is not to grade you. It is to understand the strategy you currently use, why it may have developed, and whether it supports or limits what your sport asks of you.
03That strategy under a time constraintWhat happens when there is no time to organise carefully.
How we measure it
Countermovement depth and duration, braking force and impulse, the speed of the transition into propulsion, time to take-off, rate of force development, velocity, power and reactive strength where tested.
Why it matters
A jump gives you a fraction of a second. What you do in it is your strategy with the deliberation removed — which is why the force plates so often confirm, or complicate, what the movement assessment predicted.
04What each limb contributedSide-to-side contribution, read against the movement findings.
How we measure it
Each limb’s share of braking and propulsion across the protocols, phase by phase rather than as a single figure.
Why it matters
A difference on the plates is far more interpretable when the movement assessment has already shown what is available on each side. Where the two agree, confidence is higher; where they disagree, that disagreement is usually the more useful observation.
05Your priorities, in orderWhat to change, and what to change it with.
How we measure it
One interpretation covering both assessments, with a video report and your force–time data.
Why it matters
Exercise selection, positioning, loading strategy, training volume, movement preparation, and the order in which physical qualities are worth developing — each tied to a finding rather than offered as general advice.
This is a performance assessment. It describes how you organise movement and how that organisation appears under speed. It does not diagnose injury and it does not predict it.
What your body can organise, and what it actually does when the clock gives it no time to think about it.
Measured with
- Structured movement and position assessment — the UHPC model
- Hawkin Dynamics dual force plates — each limb recorded at 1000Hz
- Video capture — so the findings can be seen rather than described
On the day
How the session runs.
Approximately two hours. The movement assessment runs first, while you are fresh — the force plate protocols are short and maximal, and doing them first would change what the movement assessment found.
- 01
Intake
10 minutes
Your sport and its demands, training history, previous injuries and what you are trying to change. The same finding means different things for a rower and a sprinter.
- 02
Movement assessment
50 minutes
A structured sequence of positions and tasks, captured on video. What you can access, what you cannot, and how you organise yourself in between.
- 03
Force plate protocols
35 minutes
Selected for you from countermovement jumps, reactive and repeated jumps, drop jumps and isometric holds. Short maximal efforts with rest between them.
- 04
Interpretation
25 minutes
The two sets of findings put side by side on screen, and what follows from reading them together. The written and video report follows.
Who this is for.
Suited to
- Athletes who want the fullest picture of how they move and how that movement performs under speed
- Anyone whose force plate results raised a question the numbers alone could not answer
- Athletes whose training keeps producing the same limitation despite the programme changing
- Anyone about to commit to a training block and wanting it aimed rather than assumed
- Athletes in sports where how force is produced matters as much as how much
Less suited to
- Anyone seeking a diagnosis or clinical opinion — this is a performance assessment
- Anyone whose question is entirely about endurance physiology; the Endurance Performance Profile answers that
- Anyone wanting a training programme rather than an assessment and a direction
If you only need one half of this, book that half. The Force & Power Profile at £150 is a genuine standalone assessment, and Movement Strategy Analysis at £300 stands on its own too.
Choosing
Which of the three.
| Assessment | Price | Duration | Measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Force & Power Profile | £150 | ~1 hour | How you produce force under a time constraint. Braking, propulsion, impulse, velocity, power and limb contribution. |
| Movement Strategy Analysis | £300 | ~1 hour | What movement options are available to you and which strategy you rely on to complete a task. |
| Movement & Force Strategy Analysis | £400 | ~2 hours | Both, in one appointment, with the force data read against the movement findings rather than beside them. |
| Complete Athlete Profiling | £895 | 3 hours + sweat session | Both of the above plus metabolic testing with blood lactate, resting metabolic rate, and a separate sweat and hydration session. |
The combined assessment is £50 less than booking the two separately. If you start with the Force & Power Profile and the findings point deeper, you can move up for a further £250 — the same £400 either way.
Common questions.
Context in one direction and evidence in the other. The movement assessment establishes what options are available to you and which strategy you tend to rely on. The force plates then show what that strategy looks like when you have a fraction of a second to organise yourself and produce an outcome. Read on its own, a force–time curve tells you what happened; read against the movement findings, it tells you why.
Yes. Movement Strategy Analysis is £300 and the Force & Power Profile is £150. Booked together as one appointment it is £400, so the combined assessment is £50 less than the two bought separately — and the interpretation is the part you are actually paying the difference for.
Yes, for a further £250, which brings your total to the same £400. We will only suggest it where the force plate findings genuinely point towards it — a longer time to take-off, a deeper countermovement than the task needs, a slow transition into propulsion, or a consistent difference between sides worth understanding.
No. It describes how you currently organise movement and how that organisation appears under a time constraint. It is a performance assessment, not a clinical examination: it does not diagnose an injury and it does not predict one. Where something in the findings warrants clinical attention we will say so and point you to the right professional.
No, because that is not a finding. The aim is to understand the strategy you currently rely on, why it may be there, and whether it suits what you are asking your body to do. A strategy that produces a great deal of force when there is time to build it may be well matched to one sport and poorly matched to another that demands short ground contacts. The judgement is always against your demands, never against an ideal.
A video report of the movement assessment, your force–time data, and an interpretation that reads the two together — what your available options are, how they show up under speed, and what follows for exercise selection, positioning, loading, volume and the order in which qualities are worth developing.
Approximately two hours. The movement assessment comes first, while you are fresh, and the force plate protocols follow.
