ISAK LEVEL 2

The ISAK assessment allows us to determine your Somatotype, which describes your body based on three shapes/compositions: Endomorphic/Thick, Mesomorphic/Muscular, Ectomorphic/Long. Everyone is a combination of these three traits, the ISAK can give insight into the distribution of typing. The value in this can help drive training, conditioning, and nutrition decisions, as well as identifying sport/positional direction. One high value component has the ability to calculate optimal muscle/bodyweight capabilities for athletes and their training plan.
In-person ISAK body assessment is available now for athletes in the western New York area or for teams/coaches that are interested in this information.
