The AthletesEDGE System
Through nearly a decade of research, development, programming, and implementation, AthletesEDGE is a system that personifies the evolution in modern athlete development. Focused on high quality results, AthletesEDGE delivers a unique system of customized programming through advanced sports medicine methodologies and strict training and conditioning principles. Our team of sports medicine and exercise specialists take you through a continuous improvement program based on periodic analysis and physiologic monitoring. Careful program selection is incorporated into training phases utilizing rehabilitation, development, and performance cycles.
The AthletesEDGE System is a specialized process of programs designed to optimize the performance and maintain the health of the high level athlete. AthletesEDGE maintains the standard that a great training program is injury prevention with the goal of achieving high performance potential. This method of developing an athlete not only prepares them for the rigors of a sports season, it develops habits of preparation, readiness, and continual improvement.
Utilizing continuous biomechanical and physiological monitoring systems, AthletesEDGE Athlete Development Programs are scienticifically accurate to produce durable, confident, and powerful athletes.

Analysis
The foundation of AthletesEDGE is a continuous monitoring system that enables our professional staff to carefully select the proper training or treatment programs.
| Test | |
| Musculoskeletal Testing | Various physical assessments are utilized to create a 'base line' picture of each athlete including posture, alignment, flexibility, movement, assymetries, and strength. Functional Movement Screening and Selective Functional Movement Assessments are utilized to create individual programming protocols. |
| Omegawave Monitoring | Omegawave technology monitors the function of multiple biologic systems and provides a comprehensive picture of physiologic changes and adaptations to training, injuries, life choices, and stress. Omegawave is also used in our concussion rehabilitation protocols. |
| Performance Testing | Many teams and organizations utilize pre and post season performance testing to measure the speed and strength of their athletes. A variety of performance tests are used to measure the base line and improvement of each athlete dependent on their needs and level of programming. |
| Computerized Muscle Testing | Computerized muscle testing can be performed to measure absolute strength differences between right and left. This testing is also performed to assess core strength ratios and quad to hamstring strength ratios as a predictor to proper body stability and balance from core. |
Rehabilitation
Precisely timed rehabilitation sessions are necessary when analysis, athlete performance, readiness or physiologic adaptation demonstrate unanticipated results. Rehabilitation protocols are incorporated for injury rehabilitation as well.

Performance
The end result. The system of performance output addresses speed, strength, power, and energy systems development in preparation of season readiness. This phase of work relies exclusively of physiologic readiness and monitored through individually assessed heart rate training zones.
