PLNU x Padres Biomechanics Lab
In February 2024, the PLNU x Padres Biomechanics Lab held its grand opening at the PLNU Balboa Regional Center.
Point Loma has partnered with the San Diego Padres to provide a state-of-the-art biomechanics lab, which features a pitching mound, hitting bay and runway with force plates, a ball metric simulator and motion capture cameras.
This top-tier technology helps collect valuable data, such as stride side and drive side ground reaction for pitchers and ground reactive force for hitters, helping athletes discover inefficiencies and deficits in weight or energy transfer.
