AxIT Strength Testing & Performance Assessment

Be assessed like a professional athlete.

Using technology previously reserved for elite sporting environments, we can now objectively measure exactly how strong, powerful and explosive your body is.

axit strength testing system

At SportsFit Physio & Health, our AxIT strength testing system helps take the guesswork out of rehabilitation, injury prevention and performance training.

Rather than relying purely on how something “feels”, we use measurable data to assess strength, identify imbalances, monitor recovery and guide return-to-sport decisions — similar to what professional athletes undergo.

What Makes AxIT Different?

Most clinics estimate strength based on observation or general exercise testing. AxIT provides objective data and measurable numbers — allowing us to accurately assess your body similar to elite sporting clubs and high-performance environments.

This allows us to:

  • measure exact muscle strength and force output
  • identify left-to-right imbalances
  • assess power and explosiveness
  • monitor rehabilitation progress over time
  • guide safe return-to-sport decisions
  • reduce reliance on guesswork

Instead of simply hoping you are ready to return to running, gym training or sport — we can objectively test and measure it.

How Does the AxIT System Work?

The AxIT devices can assess strength, power and performance across almost any muscle group and movement pattern in the body.

Using advanced pull, push and force plate technology, we can measure:

  • peak force production
  • explosive power
  • rate of force development
  • isometric strength
  • movement asymmetries and imbalances

Testing can include movements such as squats, deadlifts, hops, jumps, calf strength, hamstring testing, push-ups, lunges and sports-specific movement assessments.

The system also provides instant biofeedback and real-time results that you can clearly see and track over time.

Injury Rehabilitation

Objectively measure recovery following injuries such as ACL surgery, hamstring strains, calf injuries and tendon pain.

Performance Testing

Identify weaknesses and improve strength, power and athletic performance for sport, running and gym training.

Injury Prevention

Screen for muscle imbalances, strength deficits and movement limitations before they become injuries.

Stop Guessing. Actually Measure Your Strength.

Do you actually know how strong you are?

Without objective strength testing, many people focus on the wrong muscles, progress too quickly, or return to sport before their body is truly ready.

By understanding your strengths, weaknesses and asymmetries, we can create more targeted rehabilitation and performance programs designed specifically for your body and goals.

Just like elite athletes, you can now track measurable progress over time rather than relying on guesswork alone.

What Happens During a Strength Assessment?

Your 60-minute strength testing assessment may include:

  • discussion of your goals
  • sport or injury history
  • strength and power testing specific to your activity
  • movement and functional assessment
  • identification of muscle imbalances or deficits
  • detailed baseline reporting and results
  • recommendations and targeted exercise planning

Follow-up testing can then objectively track your progression and help guide ongoing rehabilitation or performance training.

Who Is This Useful For?

  • athletes returning from injury
  • runners and endurance athletes
  • gym and strength-training injuries
  • ACL rehabilitation
  • hamstring and calf injuries
  • persistent tendon pain
  • junior athletes
  • people wanting to improve athletic performance

Our physiotherapists regularly integrate AXiT testing into rehabilitation programs to help people recover better, move better and perform better.

What Info Do I Get From Testing

You will be emailed all the results from your strength testing session, with data showing:

  • Peak force compared on both sides
  • Your numbers compared to actual research and evidence for your age
  • Progressions and trends over time when you repeat strength sessions
