Surrey Sport Park has launched the Surrey Human Performance Institute for Triathlon.
Tapping into the growing sports market movement for consumer performance to be expertly assessed through the likes of bike fitting, the service is pitched at any level of athlete.
Located at Surrey Sports Park, the Surrey Human Performance Institute, offers health and performance assessments to a variety of clients. The testing facilities provide clients with the opportunity to learn about their health and optimise their training through a two-hour testing programme.
The launch took place at the Triathlon Plus Show at the ExCeL Arena in London and the Performance Institute recently appeared at the nearby Triathlon Show at Sandown Park.
“One of the biggest myths is that these tests are designed for elite athletes, in which they are, but they can also be applied to any athlete,” said Joe Wainwright, manager of the Institute. “We’ve got the triathlon radar zone which entails four performance assessments. These include body composition, cycling and sub maximal lactate test, running sub maximal test and a swimming lactate test as well. The test themselves will identify key performance indicators.”
