At FAST Athletics, we believe that speed is the game-changer for any athlete, no matter the sport. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the USR Speed Lab, a data-driven, athlete-centric system designed to track, test, and train speed like never before. By using cutting-edge technology developed by former track athletes, sports scientists, and tech experts, the Universal Speed Rating (USR) helps athletes improve their performance while keeping them healthy and injury-free. Here’s how the USR Speed Lab can take your athlete’s speed to the next level.
1. Trackable Progress with Baseline Testing
The first step in any performance journey is knowing where you stand. The USR Speed Lab begins with an initial baseline test that measures your athlete’s current speed capabilities. Whether it's max velocity or acceleration, this baseline gives you a clear starting point.
Measure top speeds, acceleration, and deceleration capabilities
Establish benchmarks for ongoing improvement
Identify strengths and areas for growth
2. Personalized Speed Training Based on Data
One of the major benefits of the USR Speed Lab is its ability to create customized training programs based on each athlete’s data. Rather than one-size-fits-all programs, we tailor the training to improve specific areas of your athlete’s speed performance, making every workout purposeful.
Focus on areas needing the most improvement (e.g., acceleration or max velocity)
Ensure efficient use of training time with targeted drills
Adjust plans based on real-time data and progress
3. Injury Prevention and Workload Management
Speed isn’t just about running fast—it’s about maintaining speed safely. Overtraining is one of the biggest risks athletes face, leading to fatigue and injury. The USR Speed Lab helps monitor your athlete’s workload, ensuring they’re training at the right intensity without risking burnout.
Regular speed testing to monitor fatigue and readiness
Prevent injury by balancing training intensity and recovery
Ensure your athlete stays fresh and healthy for competition
4. National Speed Ranking for Competitive Motivation
One of the most exciting features of the USR Speed Lab is the Universal Speed Ranking, where athletes can see how their speed compares to others across the country. This creates an additional layer of motivation for your athlete, as they work to improve their ranking and achieve personal bests.
Compare your athlete’s speed with peers nationwide
Track improvements over time and celebrate progress
Foster a competitive edge that pushes athletes to go faster
5. Comprehensive Data Tracking for Ongoing Improvement
The USR Speed Lab isn’t just a one-time test—it’s a continuous journey of improvement. Our system tracks all aspects of your athlete’s speed over time, offering insights into how they’re progressing and what adjustments need to be made to reach new milestones.
See progress through regular speed tests and evaluations
Use data to adjust training plans and improve overall performance
Identify trends and patterns in your athlete’s speed development
The USR Speed Lab at FAST Athletics is your athlete’s key to unlocking their speed potential, staying injury-free, and staying ahead of the competition. If you’re ready to see your athlete hit new speeds and climb the national rankings, it’s time to get started with the USR Speed Lab!
