SPORTS TRAINING AT
THE CENTER FOR HUMAN PERFORMANCE


Building a better athlete begins with a skilled analysis of how the athlete moves within his or her sport. At the Center for Human Performance, we assess athletes using the FEAD Movement Analysis System™. The FEAD System analyzes the following phases:

First Step
Athletic movement begins with the first step or change-of-direction. This needs to be quick and efficient.

Explosion
The athlete should explode into acceleration with as much power as possible.

Acceleration
Acceleration needs to occur rapidly, with mechanics that allow the athlete to beat even those opponents who may have a greater overall top speed.

Deceleration
Slowing down into the next first step should occur over the shortest distance possible allowing a quicker first step

Each element of the FEAD Movement Analysis System™ feeds the next.

At the Center for Human Performance, we can objectively assess these areas to improve arm, leg and trunk mechanics through all phases of athletic movement to create a faster, more explosive athlete.

Training involves not only correcting the mechanics of athletic movement, but also improving the ABCD's of the FEAD System.

Absolute Strength
Balance
Core Coordination
Dynamic Flexibility

Whether you are an athlete looking to improve performance, or a sports medicine patient looking to get back on the field, the FEAD Movement Analysis System™ and the ABCD's are an integral part of our approach to your success.
