ATHLETE TESTING
VO₂ Max. Lactate Threshold. Strength. Power. Movement.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF SALFORD
We’ve partnered with Salford University to bring elite-level physiological testing to everyday athletes. VO₂ Max and Lactate Threshold assessments are delivered using world-class equipment and university-grade protocols, the same standards used in professional sport.
Whether you're chasing a podium, a PB, or simply want to train smarter, this partnership gives you access to the highest level of sports-science support available in Manchester.
TPS PERFORMANCE LAB
Strength. Power. Movement.
Inside TPS, we run a dedicated performance lab built around VALD ForceDecks and VALD ForceFrame, the gold standard in strength and power diagnostics across the Premier League, UFC, AFL and Olympic programs.
No guesswork. Pure data that shapes smarter training.
VALD FORCEDECKS
Power & Jump Profiling
ForceDecks give us a complete breakdown of how you produce and absorb force. Every jump, landing and movement is analysed to highlight strengths, weaknesses, and hidden opportunities.
Countermovement Jump (CMJ)
Squat Jump
Reactive Strength Index (RSI)
Eccentric vs Concentric strategy
Rate of Force Development (RFD)
Asymmetry across limbs
Fatigue profiling over time
Your power, in numbers - finally made simple.
VALD ForceFrame
Isometric Strength Testing
The safest and most accurate way to test strength. The ForceFrame isolates key joints so we can measure true strength output without exposing you to injury risk.
Knee strength (flexion/extension)
Hip strength (ab/adduction)
Shoulder rotation profiling
Limb-to-limb imbalances
Stability & force control
Injury-risk indicators
Know where you’re strong. Know where you’re vulnerable.
Train from truth.
TPS ATHLETE REPORT
THE REPORT
Every assessment ends with a clear, visual breakdown - your TPS Player Card.
Simple. Actionable. Built so athletes, coaches and teams can understand the metrics that matter.
Whether you want coaching guidance or you simply want clean performance data, your results can be delivered in multiple formats to suit your needs.
Testing isn’t the finish line. It’s the start line.
WHAT YOU WILL RECIEVE
