The Universal Speed Rating (USR) is the world's first standardized speed ranking system for athletes. At VO2Peak, we are the only certified USR Speed Lab in Northern Ontario, giving athletes an official, globally comparable speed score.
What Is It?
Just as VO2max gives you a precise, comparable measure of aerobic fitness, the Universal Speed Rating gives athletes a standardized, globally comparable score for their speed and athleticism.
The USR system uses a scientifically validated testing protocol to assess multiple dimensions of athletic speed, including acceleration, top-end velocity, first-step quickness, and change-of-direction ability, and converts them into a single, standardized score.
Your USR score is not just a number. It's a diagnostic tool that tells you exactly where you rank among athletes in your age group, sport, and position, and precisely where to focus your training to climb the ranks.
USR Rank Tiers
