The Process

Four steps from first assessment to measured progress.

  1. 1

    Balance Assessment

    See how well the athlete controls their body and holds a stable position.

  2. 2

    Movement Assessment

    Look at how the athlete moves, and find what limits efficiency and power.

  3. 3

    Benchmark Testing

    Measure capacity against benchmarks designed for the athlete’s age.

  4. 4

    Training & Retesting

    Train with tailored adjustments, then retest to measure the change.

Athlete Engineering Recode retests ACE benchmarks after 45 days, and again at 90 days, to confirm progress.
