Sport Performance Testing

  • BOD POD is a gold standard testing system that utilizes air displacement plethysmography and whole-body densitometry to determine body composition. BOD POD measures lung volume, weight, body volume, body fat and fat-free mass.

    Relevant for: Soccer, Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball, Football

  • The Wingate anaerobic test is a mechanical exercise bike used to measure the production of the body's immediate and short-term energy systems. The Wingate involves 30 seconds of maximal cycling to determine an individual's maximal power during a full-force, short-term physical effort. Analyzing peak power, average power, total work, and an individual's fatigue rate can help determine maximum performance.

    Relevant for: Volleyball, Hockey, Football

  • The Bruce Treadmill Protocol is used to determine MVO2, which is the greatest rate at which a body can utilize oxygen and provide an indication of the muscle's ability to produce energy. A Bruce protocol test identifies an individual's potential to exercise at moderate intensity for specific periods of time, providing an estimated maximum oxygen consumption when exercising.

    Relevant for: Cross Country, Track and Field, Hockey, Football, Volleyball

  • Biodex isokinetic testing is a muscle isolation testing system that analyzes muscular strength and identifies potential harmful weaknesses. The biodex machine measures the weakest and strongest muscles contributing to overall movement by isolating muscle groups and testing their limits.

    Relevant for: Soccer, Basketball, Football

Our Facilities

  • The Sport Science Laboratory is lead by Dr. Andrew Perrotta and is housed within the CHPH. His laboratory focuses on sport science and sport medicine and its direct application to enhancing health and sport performance. Graduate students conduct applied research within the daily training environment of the Windsor Lancer varsity programs. Dr. Perrotta's team concentrates on examining the dose-response to exercise using wearable technology to quantify exercise stress, and to examine the response in biological function and athletic performance.

  • The Forge is the primary space for team training sessions and is also used for fitness testing. It is a massive, 7200 sq. ft open concept facility with windows spanning from the floor to ceiling. It contains a primary floor, a studio, and a mezzanine.
