Maximizing Athletic performance and injury reduction.
Our team has designed and developed industry-leading surface and equipment testing tools and protocols that allow teams to optimize performance and minimize injury, along with reducing field maintenance costs.
(Biomechanical Elite Athlete Shoe-Turf Tester) – The world’s most advanced grass and turf field testing system available. The BEAST™ replicates an elite athlete’s cleat-surface interaction, focusing on rotation and traction after impact. Leveraging computational modeling, AI and Machine Learning, and advanced analytics, the BEAST™ enables valuable insights related to footwear and cleat design, grass and turf playability, and more. Insights help ensure footwear and playing surfaces allow players maximize performance and reduce risk of injury.
The leading portable surface testing tool, accurately replicating an athlete’s foot strike and surface engagement, The STRIKE™ measures the most critical components of playing surface testing, including hardness, footstrike depth, rebound, and speed. With easy to use hardware and software, STRIKE™ was designed leveraging elite athlete performance models, providing valuable insights, benchmarking, and field management recommendations.
With expert understanding of how the human body responds to different loads and movements, and the cleat-surface interaction, our biomechanics researchers work closely with professional sports leagues, players associations, and footwear manufacturers to push the industry forward. Projects range from custom research projects and analysis, to footwear impact on injuries across leagues.
Our team of researchers, scientists, and engineers are the premiere experts in helmet technology and the use of such helmets in sports, and the impact on players health and safety. We conduct extensive testing and evaluation of football helmets on behalf of the NFL Players Association and the league, and are playing a lead role in driving future helmet research and development.
