60 Minutes
Suitable for everyone.
VALD Forcedecks are an invaluable tool in strength testing, monitoring, injury prevention, and recovery and rehabilitation. They provide clear and objective data to analyse your physical condition and to help formulate the basis of your future training programme.
By using a battery of tests we can use the Forcedecks to;
Your results will be presented to you within 72 hours in a PDF format that is clear and uncomplicated. You can share the results with your own therapists, coaches, or personal trainers, or I can provide you with additional tailored guidance.
What’s involved in the tests?
Using intuitive software, Forcedecks allow quick and easy assessment with just the click of a button. The tests will take approximately 60 minutes to complete.
We’ll run through approximately 8-10 individual tests, the majority of which are isometric (contraction of muscles without any noticeable movement/change in muscle length). It’s the nature of isometric testing which reduces the physical demands (compared with 1 rep max testing for example) and means the tests can be carried out at any stage of training or injury rehabilitation.

What will you learn from your results?
1) Across many of the tests we can compare your results against normative data for your sex/age group. This can inform decisions on areas of weakness to focus on within your training.
2) Insight into any physical asymmetries. Whilst asymmetry is very common and to a degree is expected, the results can identify areas of significant asymmetry which indicate an imbalance in strength between limbs and the potential increase in risk of injury.
3) You’ll have a baseline to use against future tests. You can accurately monitor your progress over a training block and evaluate if changes in your training programme are having the desired outcomes.
4) The data can be used when returning to exercise after injury. Pre-injury results give you a goal to work towards and an objective view of your readiness to return to sport.
What are the costs?
The cost for the 60-minute test and production of the report is £75.00, increasing to £100.00 should you wish for me to provide my own tailored guidance (10% discount available if your test is carried out during my dedicated clinics).
With the report, we can also look at a personalised strength training or rehabilitation programme. If you would like to explore this with me we can discuss options and costs during your test, follow the link HERE for further information on what I can provide.
