The SPEED Lab had an amazing time at East Career & Technical Academy, giving sports medicine students a hands-on look into the world of kinesiology and sport performance testing.
Students explored:
• Timing gates ⏱️
• Force plates 🦶
• Motion capture 🎥
• Grip strength testing 💪
They experienced first hand how these tools are used every day to evaluate performance, track progress, and enhance athlete development!
