Testing and Assessment
Testing &
Assessment
Measure what matters. Objective, data-driven insights into how your body moves, produces force, and performs — giving you clarity whether your goal is performance, rehabilitation, or long-term health.
Train with
purpose.
At 4D Health and Performance, we don't guess. We assess.
Testing gives you clarity. Clarity drives results. Book your assessment and take the guesswork out of your training and rehabilitation.
Our process.
Four steps from data to action.
Objective data using world-class technology
Understand your strengths, limitations, and risks
Build a personalised strategy
Track progress and keep improving
VALD Technology
ForceDecks
Force, Power & Movement Analysis
ForceDecks provide a detailed insight into how you produce and absorb force.
We assess:
- Strength and power output
- Movement efficiency
- Left vs right asymmetries
- Balance and control
- Landing and force absorption strategies
To help:
- Identify movement limitations and inefficiency
- Guide safe return to exercise and sport
- Reduce injury risk in everyday activities
VALD Technology
DynaMo
Strength & Range of Motion Testing
DynaMo allows us to measure muscle strength and joint mobility across the body with precision.
We assess:
- Isometric strength (hips, knees, shoulders, etc.)
- Joint range of motion
- Muscle imbalances and weaknesses
By combining ForceDecks and DynaMo, we build a clear picture of how strong you are, how well you move, and where your risks and limitations are.
This allows us to individualise training and rehabilitation, track progress objectively, and build confidence in your body.
Objective Data for Every Body
Using industry-leading technology from VALD, our testing isn't just for elite athletes — it's for everyone.
Whether you're returning from injury, building strength, managing pain, developing as a young athlete, or simply wanting to move better — VALD testing allows us to meet you where you're at and make informed decisions based on real data.

Lactate Threshold
Testing
Train smarter, not just harder. High-level conditioning isn't built on effort alone — it's built on precision.
Our lactate testing provides a deep understanding of how your body produces and uses energy during exercise, giving you a physiological blueprint for performance.
What We Measure:
- Lactate threshold (when fatigue begins to rapidly increase)
- Aerobic capacity (your ability to sustain effort)
- Anaerobic contribution (high-intensity output)
- Energy system efficiency
- Individualised training zones
No more generic heart rate zones. Your program is based on your physiology, allowing you to train at the right intensity for the right adaptation.
You'll know when to push intensity, build aerobic base, and recover properly — leading to faster improvements with less wasted effort.
For runners, cyclists, and field sport athletes: understand sustainable speeds, avoid early fatigue, and perform more consistently.
We can identify whether you need to improve aerobic capacity, repeat sprint ability, or high-intensity output — then build your program accordingly.
Retesting allows us to see real physiological improvements, adjust your program as you adapt, and keep progressing without plateaus.
Endurance athletes, field sport athletes, hybrid athletes, and anyone wanting structured, effective conditioning.

Movement Assessment
Gait &
Movement Analysis
How you move matters. Your walking and running patterns provide critical insight into how your body functions.
We assess:
- Stride mechanics
- Load distribution
- Joint movement patterns
- Compensation strategies
Why it matters:
- Identify inefficiencies and overload patterns
- Reduce injury risk
- Improve running and walking efficiency
- Support long-term movement health
Rehabilitation & Performance
Lever Movement
System
Controlled load. Smarter rehabilitation.
The Lever system is a unique tool that allows us to precisely control bodyweight and loading during movement. This makes it highly effective in both rehabilitation and performance training.
We use Lever to:
- Reduce load during early-stage rehab
- Gradually reintroduce movement under control
- Build confidence in injured areas
- Progressively overload in a safe, structured way
Who This Is For:
- Athletes looking to optimise performance
- Clients returning from injury
- Youth athletes developing foundations
- General population wanting clarity and direction
