What is a Combine?
Let's face it, "just doing-it" isn't going to get you to the next level anymore. Scientific, data-driven training is what athletes are turning to. Our Sport-specific combines provide the perfect solution to any athlete's performance needs.
Used by many professional sport teams, a combine is a physical test of sport-specific skills and athletic variables used to evaluate prospects in a standardized setting. Its origins have evolved from the National, BLESTO and Quadra Scouting organizations in 1977 to the dominant evaluation tool that it has become today. POTENTRx™ staff have created combines in most team sports that assess the athletic talents of participants across an array of variables including acceleration, speed, agility, coordination, anticipation, reaction time, and as these variables are needed and used in each sport.
Each combine is inteded to gather critical biomehanical and physiological data to help diagnose performance defficiencies and ultimately enhance potential. They consist of a series of tests, specific to each sport, which help paint a non-biased and accurate picture of each athlete. From there, POTENTRx™ staff members, coaches and/or trainers can determine what training variables need to be adopted and or modified to produce the highest level of success and lessen the chance of injury.
U.S. Men's Olympic Rowing Team
Functional Aerobic Capacity (Live)
The U.S. Rowing team asked us to monitor their practice and provide critical feedback regarding their functional aerobic capcity. To do this, we used our portable Cosmed K4b2 VO2 max system. We obtained streaming data via telemetry while following their boat in the water. The live data was used to alter their training.
