OFFSEASON On-Site Athlete Performance Assessments | $10 per Athlete
We're excited to welcome OFFSEASON Physical Therapy & Sports Performance as an official partner of the 2027 Akinosun Elite Invitational! OFFSEASON will be on-site at AEI on January 9, offering athlete performance assessments right at the meet!
OFFSEASON is a Chicago-based physical therapy and sports performance clinic specializing in helping youth and collegiate athletes improve performance, reduce injury risk, and bridge the gap between rehabilitation and athletic development.
Want to learn more about how your body moves, where you're strongest, and what you can improve to become a better athlete?
For just $10, athletes can participate in an individualized movement and performance assessment conducted by the OFFSEASON team at the invitational venue during the meet.
Athletes will participate in a series of tests, including:
Range of Motion & Flexibility: Evaluate mobility in the hips and ankles to identify limitations that may affect running mechanics and movement efficiency.
Strength Testing: Measure lower-body strength, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and hip muscles, while identifying potential imbalances between the right and left sides.
Jump & Power Analysis: Use force plate technology to measure how athletes generate and absorb force during jumping and landing.
Explosiveness & Ground Contact: Evaluate how quickly athletes generate force and react off the ground, providing insights relevant to acceleration, sprint speed, and overall athletic performance.
What will athletes receive?
Each participating athlete will receive an individualized performance assessment highlighting their results, potential areas for improvement, and recommended exercises and mobility work tailored to their findings.
These results can serve as baseline measurements to help athletes better understand their bodies, track their development, and make more informed decisions about their training.
