With HaB Direct, you can get kitted out with fitness assessment equipment for your sports coaching business, professional sports team, sports science lab, medical clinic, and more. You can also use our fitness training products for self-assessment at home.
Regular use of fitness testing equipment helps identify areas of weakness in an athlete’s performance, which is crucial for injury prevention. Whether assessing agility with timing gates or measuring muscle strength with dynamometers, knowing your limitations can help you avoid overtraining or imbalances that may lead to injuries.
Types of fitness testing and training equipment
Fitness testing and assessment equipment is used to assess people’s health and help to train athletes to perform at their best. Some of the types of testing and training that can be achieved with our products include:
Altitude Training
Altitude training simulates the hypoxic air levels found at high altitudes without the need to travel to these altitudes. This type of fitness testing equipment product makes your workout more challenging but will improve performance at sea level. You can view our range of altitude training products here.
Timing Gates
Timing gates offer speed and agility tests for a variety of sports. Our wireless timing gates are compact and portable making them ideal for training and testing indoors and outdoors. Browse our timing gates today.
Step Test
The step test is designed to measure aerobic fitness. This fitness testing equipment is trusted by professionals and is easy to complete. Shop the Step test here.
Strength Testing
You can perform strength testing with a dynamometer. A handgrip dynamometer will test grip strength by measuring the isometric strength of the hand and forearm. This is useful in throwing, catching or lifting sports and as a screening tool for health conditions associated with ageing. Our back and leg dynamometers help to assess improvements in strength or the rehabilitation of individuals. Explore our strength testing products here.
Benefits of fitness testing equipment
Exercise testing equipment has various benefits. Here, we’ll run through the top three.
Establish strengths and weaknesses
Exercise testing equipment helps you establish the fitness of an athlete compared to others in a training group or sport. Analysing the results of fitness tests allows you to spot areas for improvement and adjust coaching/training programmes accordingly.
Monitor progress in fitness
When you run a training programme, you need a method of showing clients/athletes the progress they are making. This helps to build trust and confidence in the sports coaching. Use exercise testing equipment to assess fitness levels throughout the intervention, and the results should speak for themselves!
Identify underlying health issues
Exercise testing equipment can also uncover underlying health issues, and you can point individuals in the direction of medical screening. This is thanks to the thorough analysis of the tools – it may be harder to identify health issues with manual methods.
At HaB Direct, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality physical fitness testing equipment designed for durability and accuracy. With years of experience, our products have been trusted by professionals in sports science, healthcare, and personal fitness.
Whether you’re a professional athlete or someone just starting your fitness journey, the right fitness testing equipment can help you achieve your goals. From measuring endurance with step tests to assessing strength with dynamometers, our tools support fitness journeys of all types.
But our fitness testing equipment isn’t limited to sports teams and athletes. Our products are also ideal for healthcare providers who require reliable data for rehabilitation and pre-surgical assessments.
