Translating Athlete-centered Research into Practice
NEW YORK CITY’S PREMIER EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY LAB
GUIDED BY AN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE APPROACH (EBP), WE DELIVER GROUNDBREAKING ASSESSMENTS AND EXERCISE TRAINING TO ADVANCE HUMAN HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE
What is Evidence-based Practice?
EBP is a problem-solving approach that leverages the best available evidence from well-designed research studies, practitioner competency, and client perspective. The primary aim of EBP is to bridge the gap between practice and scientific evidence. Some benefits of EBP include improved training and performance modalities, reduced training errors (e.g., injuries or inappropriate training), helps to balance known benefits and risks in decision-making, and challenges belief-based views with evidence.
A Portable Lab Concept
We Deliver Laboratory Grade Testing, Anywhere!
What We Measure
We operate under the premise that the physics-related components of human performance precedes the physiology. This is why measure airflow, force production and how you manage gravity to optimize your health and performance.
-
This is a standard lab measurement
During the biomechanics assessment, we will assess your movement quality by looking at the position of your bones and measuring the relative range of motion of your joints.
Tools: Inclinometer & Goniometer
-
This is a standard lab measurement
Spirometry is a common test used to assess how well your lungs work by measuring how much air you inhale, how much you exhale and how quickly you exhale.
Tools: COSMED microQuark
microQuark is a medical device

This is a standard lab measurement
Peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) is an objective measurement of nasal patency by measuring the airflow during maximal inspiration.
Tools: Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) Meter - GM Instruments

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Tools: MDPRO Microcap9 Handheld Capnograph and Oximeter

The respiratory rate is the rate at which breathing occurs. The aim is to identify the presence of Hyperventilation or Hypoventilation.
Tools: MDPRO Microcap9 Handheld Capnograph and Oximeter

Please note that Locomotor Function testing is optional
Price: TBD
Testing is done offsite
30 Meter Sprint Test
We will measure your sprint speed with laser testing technology
WR Capacity Protocol
The WorkRate Capacity Protocol is a standardized graded exercise test (GXT) that evaluates the integrated cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and neuropsychological systems. The 21-stage running protocol is designed to objectively measure exercise performance in free-living humans.
This is a proprietary protocol. Participants must sign an NDA to use this product.

Our Services
Health & Fitness Lab
$300+
The Health & Fitness Lab is a comprehensive assessment that aims to gather baseline data on respiratory function and movement quality. The data collected will be used to design a highly individualized exercise program.
Elite Athlete Performance Lab
$300+
The Elite Athlete Performance Lab was designed for athletes who want to take their athletic performance to the next level. We will collaborate to identify your rate limiting factors and design highly individualized programs to supercharge your performance.
Virtual Programming
$150
Over two 1-hour video sessions, our Sports Scientist will design an individualized 3-month training program for you to complete based on your goals, needs, and biomechanical assessment.
Respiratory Muscle Training
Do you have a difficult time breathing during everyday life or during intense exercise? This could mean that your respirtory muscles are not functioning properly. Join our Respiratory Muscle Training Program to enhance your breathing function.
Performance Training
Participants of lab assessments gain direct access to work 1-on-1 with a WorkRate Exercise Physiologist to achieve their health and performance goals. These sessions can occur at Hype Gym, the training pitch, your personal gym, or virtually.
