Competitive Edge Sport Science is a sport science service at 6a Sea Spray Drive in Bucklands Beach, Auckland. The website describes it as a sport science service for elite athletes, future stars, committed amateurs and weekend warriors. It specialises in lactate, physiological and performance testing. The website says its lactate testing uses newer equipment and needs no blood sample, and that this means testing can happen in more places and more quickly. It also uses the Functional Movement Screen to look for movement limits and imbalances. Training plans are built week by week around each person's life, and the website says that a free trial session is offered.
Customers praise the coach, Ian, for knowing his stuff, for simple and thorough testing, and for adapting plans around injuries. One says their testing showed they had been working too hard on recovery runs, and that they now have more energy. Another credits the coaching with helping them complete their first ultramarathon. One customer describes the environment as quiet and peaceful, with good security.
