Injury Prevention Programs
Our A2 Lab specializes in developing injury prevention programs tailored to athletes and active individuals. By combining advanced motion capture technology with expert knowledge in kinesiology and physiotherapy, we identify potential risk factors and inefficient movement patterns that can lead to injuries. Through customized training and optimization of movement efficiency, we aim to prevent overuse injuries and enhance overall performance.
Sports/Fitness Combine
Experience our state-of-the-art sports/fitness combine testing, designed to assess and measure your athletic abilities across multiple performance indicators. Our combine incorporates cutting-edge motion capture cameras, force plates, and the innovative GymAware cable system. Beyond traditional measurements, our technology allows us to calculate quickness off the block and explosiveness, providing comprehensive insights into your athletic potential.
Performance Optimization
Our A2 Lab is committed to helping athletes reach their peak performance levels. By combining scientific research, advanced technology, and expertise in sports medicine, we offer personalized performance optimization programs. Whether you're looking to enhance speed, power, agility, endurance, or overall strength, our multidisciplinary team will design a customized plan to maximize your athletic capabilities.
Markerless motion capture technology has revolutionized our ability to analyze and understand human movement in sports medicine. It allows us to delve deeper into movement patterns, identify subtle biomechanical nuances, and provide precise guidance to optimize performance and prevent injuries.
Common injuries we prevent
Overuse Injuries
Overuse injuries, such as stress fractures and tendonitis, are common among athletes. Our injury prevention programs focus on optimizing movement efficiency to minimize the risk of overuse injuries. We help athletes prevent the onset of overuse injuries.
Acute Traumatic Injuries
ACL Tears : A Significant Concern
ACL tears are a significant concern, particularly among youth athletes, as there has been an increase in their incidence over the years. The impact of an ACL tear on a young athlete can be devastating, as it can often sideline them from their sport for approximately 18 months. Countless missed practices, games, and cherished moments can take a toll on their mental health, leading to feelings of frustration, sadness, and isolation.
Even after undergoing ACL reconstruction, the unfortunate reality is that only about 67% of youth athletes will be able to return to their pre-injury level of play. Given these challenges, it becomes evident that the best approach is to prioritize prevention in order to mitigate the physical, psychological, and social consequences associated with ACL tears in youth athletes.
With advanced motion capture technology and expertise in kinesiology, we identify risk factors, assess movement quality, and develop tailored prevention strategies to reduce the likelihood of ACL tears and knee injuries.
Markerless motion capture technology
A2 performance and movement Lab’s markerless motion capture technology revolutionizes the assessment of human movement in sports medicine. By eliminating the need for physical markers attached to the body, this advanced system allows for more natural and unrestricted motion analysis.
With the integration of artificial intelligence, A2 Lab’s markerless motion capture technology provides precise and comprehensive measurements of athletes’ movement patterns, enabling accurate assessment, injury prevention, and performance optimization.
