Equipment available at PaceLab UK
PaceLab UK is fortunate to have some of the finest fast bowling facilities in the UK. We use the following equipment to help supplement our training programmes. I believe in the philosophy of “assess don’t guess” and PaceLab UK has all the capabilities to do that.

- Athos live [EMG] - Used to measure muscle activation during bowling.
- Jump mat - Used to identify where you sit on the force-velocity curve.
- Lila Exogen suit - Used for specific speed development. The only place it currently is being used.
- Speed gun - Used to identify limiting factors based on velocity discrepancy.
