COACHING SHOULDN'T START WITH A GENERIC TRAINING PLAN.
It Should Start With Understanding the Athlete.
Two athletes can have vastly different physiological responses to the same training load. A plan that works for one may be ineffective or even counterproductive for another. That is why Adams Peak Performance integrates physiological testing and athlete assessment when appropriate and available. We go beyond perceived effort to analyze real data—measuring how your body responds in real-time. This ensures your training is precisely targeted to your specific physiological limiters, maximizing efficiency and performance gains.
VO2 Max & Aerobic Fitness
Measurement of maximal oxygen consumption and aerobic capacity.
Lactate Threshold
Pinpointing the intensity where lactate begins to accumulate in the blood.
Metabolic & FatMax Testing
Analyzing substrate utilization to determine your optimal fat-burning zones.
Running Gait Analysis
Biomechanics evaluation to improve efficiency and reduce injury risk.
Strength & Movement Assessment
Identifying imbalances and gauging force production capabilities.
Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitoring
Real-time non-invasive measurement of oxygen saturation in the working muscle.
Surface EMG (sEMG) Analysis
Monitoring muscle activation patterns and neuromuscular coordination.
Sweat Rate & Hydration Assessment
Determining fluid loss and electrolyte needs to optimize fueling strategies.
VALD ForceDecks
VALD ForceDecks is a dual force-plate system that provides objective measurements of strength, power, balance and force asymmetry. The results help identify side-to-side differences, establish baseline measurements and track changes in performance over time.
We utilize VALD performance technology to go beyond the naked eye, providing a high-definition view of how your body moves and produces force.
VALD HumanTrak
3D computer vision and movement analysis to objectively measure joint angles and movement quality during dynamic tests.
VALD DynaMo
Handheld strength testing for objective measures of isometric and eccentric force production across specific muscle groups.

Training plans are delivered via TrainingPeaks, providing a clear roadmap for every session. But coaching is more than just a plan—it’s a dynamic process. As your life, fitness, and recovery change, your training adapts with you.
PERIODIZATION
Strategic phases of training designed to ensure you peak at the right time for your goal event.
REAL-TIME FEEDBACK
Continuous review of your data and workout comments to refine next steps and optimize results.
01
ASSESS
Initial physiological testing and movement analysis to establish your baseline.
02
UNDERSTAND
Reviewing metrics, lifestyle, and goals to build the optimal strategy.
03
TRAIN
Executing the plan with specific targets for intensity, duration, and technique.
04
MEASURE
Tracking performance data to monitor progress and physiological adaptations.
05
ADAPT
Modifying the training phases based on real-world outcomes and recovery markers.
Your training plan should evolve as you do.
