ForceDecks
Jump, force, power, balance and asymmetryUsed for tests such as countermovement jumps, drop jumps, isometric pulls and balance tasks to understand how an athlete produces and absorbs force.
See what movement usually hides.
VALD Technology
Technology does not replace coaching judgement. It gives that judgement better evidence.
VALD systems help Forge collect repeatable data across neuromuscular performance, isometric strength, hamstring capacity, sprint timing and movement. The equipment is selected for the question being asked, not used as theatre.
Results can be reviewed against the athlete’s own history and, where appropriate, contextualised through VALD reporting and normative reference data. Forge then connects the numbers to training, monitoring and communication with the athlete’s wider support team.

The right tool for the question.
Forge may use these systems individually or as part of a broader testing battery.ForceFrame
Repeatable isometric strength across major jointsSupports targeted assessment of areas including the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder and neck, with consistent positions for comparison over time.
NordBord
Eccentric and isometric hamstring strengthHelps quantify hamstring capacity and side-to-side differences for performance monitoring, targeted training and return-to-performance conversations.
SmartSpeed
Sprint, split and change-of-direction timeWireless timing gates provide objective acceleration, maximum-speed and agility results in field-based testing environments.
HumanTrak
Movement, range of motion and jump mechanicsCamera-based movement analysis can help examine multi-joint movement, compensation strategies and selected jump or functional tasks.
DynaMo
Portable strength and range-of-motion assessmentA modular handheld system for targeted strength and movement testing when flexible positions or field portability are important.
VALD Hub
Centralised profiles, results and reportingBrings compatible testing results together so trends, comparisons and reports can support a clearer athlete-development conversation.
How Forge works
Measure. Coach. Progress.
Select the right system
We begin with the performance question, then choose the equipment and protocol capable of answering it.
Standardise the test
Consistent setup, athlete familiarisation and repeatable protocols make future comparisons more useful.
Interpret in context
The result is considered alongside sport demands, training load, history and coach observation before action is recommended.
What this service is built to deliver
Useful outcomes, not empty activity.
- More objective performance baselines
- Consistent re-testing across training blocks
- Clearer visibility of asymmetries and force qualities
- Data athletes and coaches can discuss
- Better-informed programming and progression decisions
