You need to have bicycle and treadmill ergometer along with cardiopulmonary exercise testing equipment for measuring VO2 max. Also, lactate analyzer, muscular strength testing equipment, anaerobic cycle ergometer, 3-D motion analyser, body composition analyser etc. will be required to start with. At advanced level, you may require expertise and facilities for muscle biopsy to understand the muscle composition type like fast twitch muscle fibres, slow twitch muscle fibre etc. Then you can decide the training requirement of a particular athlete i.e. whether you need to train the particular group of muscles relevant for a particular sports. 

Much appreciated Doc.

For muscular strength and power you can use isokinetic machine or an encoder system. It will also help you a force platform.

It all depends on your target sportpeople and their needs. May be you won't be doing maximal efforts tests but you need to quantify power in a specific sport situation...

Hi Kumar,

You have a fantastic plan. 

Will the center be located in a public university (just for testings?) or at a hospice (for treatment) or at a sports facility like SAI (to rehabilitate athletes)?

 Both the sports science and sports medicine services are integrated. Therefore, within this huge setting, there are biomechanics,  weight training, physiotherapy divisions that work very closely in dealing with rehabilitation and enhancing sports performance. 

For instance, in biomechanics, a 3D motion analyzer with infrared markers, a force platform and software like siliconCOACH can help rehabilitate any person or athlete who has gained injuries. Within physiotherapy, an kinetic machine, treadmill, ergo meter, and monark bike will do the trick. 

Therefore it really depends who the target population is. 

All the best

Don't foget the basics... get the health and safety, cleaning and sanitation, plumbing, changing, shower Lavotory facilities etc. protocols in place from day1... I know it sounds crazy, but the ammount of high performance facilities that end up with a fabricated changing room in the corner because the design didn't take these into consideration is astonishing....  also look at footfalls and predicted flow: make your life easier by designing a logical flow of work and clients.

The current Novel Coronavirus Pandemic is going to change the Sports Performance Center forever.

How are we to acculturate?

multidisciplinary human resource, equipped training spaces, recovery spaces, active rest areas, recovery spaces after accidents

Hi Kumar;

I suggest you include devices related to neuro-psychology and biomechanics.

Who is your target audience?

First of all, this question needs to be answered...

Best regards...

BRAIN TRAINING + 3D CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT

Brain Training

The Interactive Metronome (IM) is a cutting edge performance optimizing technology that improves focus, concentration, coordination and timing. It improves connectivity and communication in the brain, resulting in a better ability to adapt one’s movements to specific tasks, making the coordination between the mind and the muscles easier and more effective. Interactive metronome benefits athletes by improving timing and accuracy of their movements, decision-making and speeding up reaction time.

3D Baseline Concussion Assessment

The 3D Baseline concussion assessment is the gold standard of concussion assessment. It immerses the athlete in a simulated environment that collects and analyzes 3D movement and identifies deficits in neurocognitive testing following an injury. Our experts use the results to determine the extent of the injury and best course of treatment. This technology improves rehabilitation after a concussion, provides a safer return to play, reduces the risk of future concussions and improves performance post-concussion.

3D MOTION + KINEMATIC ANALYSIS

3D Motion and Kinematic analysis tracks sport-specific motion and provides a detailed analysis of an athlete’s biomechanics. The results are used to identify movement inefficiencies and muscular imbalances that otherwise go undetected, allowing our experts to develop a customized formula aimed at correcting these deficiencies. 3D motion analysis benefits athletes by improving movement efficiency and preventing injuries, thus ensuring that the athlete performs at the optimal level.

MUSCLE RESPONSE ANALYSIS

Surface EMG measures small electrical impulses that are transmitted along muscle fibers during contraction to assess the patterns of that muscle’s movement. This allows our board-certified sports clinicians to identify dysfunctional movement patterns that can prolong soreness, cause pain and even injuries and to determine the best prehabilitation, rehabilitation and training formulas. This technology benefits athletes by improving performance, reducing muscle fatigue and speeding up rehabilitation.

CARDIOPULMONARY + VO2 MAX

The VO2 Max Assessment is the ultimate indicator of cardiovascular fitness. The technology used by the Sports Science Lab measures VO2 max, calculates anaerobic threshold and provides body composition analysis, allowing our sports scientists to customize training plans to improve aerobic endurance and ensure optimal performance while reducing the risk of injury. Benefits to athletes include improved endurance, better competitive edge and more efficient training.

ISOKINETIC EXTREMITY TESTING + REHAB

The Isokinetic extremity machine uses 22 standard tests and exercise patterns to precisely assess mobility, stability and muscle strength. The system compares the athlete’s movement patterns to a database of professional athletes to to identify muscle imbalances that inhibit performance and increase the risk of injury. Benefits of the Isokinetic extremity system to athletes include improved performance, injury prevention, improved movement efficiency, faster recovery from exercise and faster rehabilitation.

3D SPORTS SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY

3D Sports Simulation Technology mimics game play while taking very precise measurements of reaction time, acceleration, speed, distance traveled and heart rate. The measurements allow coaches and trainers to design customized programs that ensure each athlete’s optimal performance. When used after concussions, this technology allows a safer return to play. The system benefits athletes by improving performance, reaction time and hand-eye coordination.
