At Vmax Elite, we are dedicated to bridging the gap between academic research and high-level athletic performance. Our name, Vmax, derived from the scientific abbreviation used in peer-reviewed journals, represents maximum velocity—a key factor in sports performance. However, for us, Vmax is more than just a measurement in meters per second. It also symbolizes power development, movement efficiency, explosiveness, quicker reaction times, and the endurance to maintain maximum effort. Vmax Elite represents pushing the boundaries of human potential.
At Vmax Elite, we are committed to always educate and elevate to dominate.
While our future vision includes offering in-person strength & conditioning coaching and athlete testing, we are starting with a strong foundation in online research reviews. As founder Elizabeth Melanson pursues her Master of Science in Kinesiology with a dual focus in Strength & Conditioning and Sports Performance & Psychology, this blog will serve as a platform to share academic research, insights, and exploration of new topics at the forefront of sports science.
Elizabeth's ultimate goal is to cultivate a community of performance-driven individuals who resonate with the ethos of Vmax Elite, but who also bring their own unique experiences and expertise. Together, the Vmax family will be recognized not only for their exceptional strength, speed, and power, but also for their mental toughness, high-level sports intelligence, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
