Performance Science

Performance Science harnesses cutting-edge performance analysis, movement science and physiology to deliver data-driven insights and tailored strategies, empowering coaches and athletes to maximise potential and excel in training and competition.

Performance Analysis

  • Performance analyst’s observe, analyse, and deliver objective feedback live in training and competition environments to accelerate athlete learning through match analysis and individual skill assessment.
  • Work collaboratively to make analysis more accessible and impactful, upskilling key users in the core performance principles.
  • Leverage innovative technology to enhance understanding of key performance drivers for athletes, coaches, and sports programs.

Physiology

  • Identify key performance benchmarks and drive individual adaptations through evidence-based strategies.
  • Apply research-informed approaches to optimise recovery and performance in travel, heat, and altitude conditions.
  • Assess athlete performance through targeted physiological testing in both lab and field environments.
  • Interpret data and translate it into clear, actionable guidance for athletes and coaches.

Movement Science

Biomechanics

  • Apply mechanical principles to understand how the body moves, helping athletes refine technique to improve movement efficiency, optimise performance outcomes and reduce injury risk.
  • Conduct biomechanical analyses combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, using tools like image-based analysis, wearables, computer simulations, robotics and computer dynamics to provide athletes and coaches with technical insights to influence training design and prescription.

Learning Design

  • Optimise skilled performance by assisting coaches in the design of training environments that are intentional, individualised, innovative and evidence-based.
  • Integrate principles from learning design, coaching science, pedgogy and other specialist domains to provide athletes with a learning environment that allows them to develop the necessary tools to perform under a wide array of circumstances.
