Cape Town Lab
World-class performance testing, biomechanical bike fitting and endurance coaching — at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa.
The Sports Science Institute of South Africa
Science to Sport's Cape Town lab is based within the Sports Science Institute of South Africa — one of Africa's foremost sports science research and testing facilities. The SSISA provides the institutional infrastructure and clinical standards that underpin the quality of our testing protocols.
Working from within SSISA gives our athletes access to the same testing environment used by national sporting bodies, elite programmes and world-class researchers — with the added benefit of S2S's proprietary coaching and biomechanics methodology layered on top.
