SPARQ Rating
In partnership with Nike, SPARQ (speed, power, agility, reaction, quickness) is a form of dynamic performance testing and training – explosive, athletically-based movements designed to help you, the athlete, get faster, quicker, stronger, and more explosive.
The SPARQ rating provides a benchmark of your athleticism and lets you gauge your progress. It is specific to your sport and geared to the abilities you need to dominate in your field. The SPARQ rating tells you how you rank against your peers in the same sport, playing the same position.
In partnership with Velocity Sports Performance, the Sentara Sports Medicine Program is proud to participate in SPARQ testing of area athletes in a variety of sports.
Get more information about SPARQ training and to get your SPARQ rating for you or your team, please contact Velocity Sports Performance online or by phone at 361-5850.
