Optimizing Performance Through Precision Testing!

At the Centre for Human Performance and Health (CHPH), we use Biodex Isokinetic Testing to assess muscular strength, balance, and asymmetries that may contribute to injury risk.

This evidence-based approach helps athletes, clinicians, and researchers move beyond assumptions โ€” using measurable data to enhance performance, guide rehabilitation, and reduce injury risk across all levels of sport.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Measure. Strengthen. Perform.

Meet Professor Chad Sutherland!

Prof. Chad Sutherland is the Director of Operations at the Centre for Human Performance & Health (CHPH) and a leader in the fields of Sport & Exercise Biomechanics and Strength & Conditioning.

At CHPH, Prof. Sutherland oversees programming and research in three key areas โ€” Active and Healthy Living, Sport Performance, and Workplace Training & Safety. His work focuses on developing performance testing and individualized training programs that help athletes reach peak performance while minimizing injury risk.

His research explores the effects of fatigue on knee joint mechanics during sport movements, and how exercise prescription can reduce ACL injury risk. Beyond sport performance, Prof. Sutherlandโ€™s community-based involvement โ€” including APEX, UWorkItOut-UWin, and ReNew โ€” use exercise as medicine to improve physical and mental health across populations.

Weโ€™re proud to have Prof. Sutherland leading CHPHโ€™s mission to bridge research and real-world impact in sport, health, and human performance. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’›

Meet Professor Andrew S. Perrotta, Ph.D.!

Dr. Andrew Perrotta is an Assistant Professor within the Faculty of Human Kinetics at the University of Windsor and a key member of the Centre for Human Performance and Health (CHPH). He supervises both undergraduate and graduate trainees who conduct applied research within Lancer Athletics programs.

His research focuses on sport science and sport medicine, emphasizing how exercise dosage impacts health and performance outcomes. A major component of his work examines the dose response to exercise, using wearable technology to measure cardiovascular and musculoskeletal adaptations in athletes.

Before his academic career, Perrotta pursued a professional soccer career and has since held multiple sport science positions with Canadian National Sporting Organizations and U Sport athletic programs.

Through his work at CHPH, Dr. Perrotta keeps bridging the gap between research and practice at CHPH by promoting evidence-based strategies to enhance athletic performance and wellbeing.
