Proteus Physical Velocity Assessment
The Proteus Physical Velocity Assessment is a 5-minute diagnostic test using 3D-resistance technology to measure an athlete's power, acceleration, and force production across natural movements. [1, 2, 3]
How the Test Works
- Quick Assessment: Takes 5 minutes or less using the Proteus Motion 3D-resistance device.
- Movement Breakdown: Evaluates specific foundational patterns (such as vertical land/push, rotational shot-put/trunk rotation, and PNF arm extensions) that mimic athletic delivery.
- Data Metrics: Measures peak power, acceleration, and force output in 3D space.
Key Insights Provided
- Velocity Gap Analysis: Compares your actual on-field performance (like pitching velocity and hitting) against your physical power foundation to see if you are "borrowing" velocity or truly producing it safely.
- Dominance Classification: Determines whether you are skill-dominant, power-dominant, or balanced.
- Leak Identification: Pinpoints exact physical limitations or energy leaks in the lower body, trunk, or upper body.
- Custom Programming: Generates targeted, evidence-based training recommendations to unlock speed and reduce injury risk.
