Meet Dr. Ferdinand Delgado

Founder, Move, Measure, Analyze

This practice is built and run by one applied scientist, not a franchise or a call center. Every assessment, every projection, and every report comes from the same person who designed the methods behind them.

Why This Practice Exists

From the sprint track to the spreadsheet

I didn't set out to build an assessment business. I set out to understand how people move, and to get better at explaining what the data actually says once you measure it.

That started with a degree in mathematics, then over a decade coaching track and field, earning USATF and USTFCCCA certifications along the way. The master's added the research side: a thesis testing whether a four-week sprint training protocol changed jumping performance, and the first studies on balance. The PhD focused the lens on older adults: fall prevention at the intersection of cognition, movement, and aging.

Move, Measure, Analyze exists because that combination, someone who has coached, who has run the research, and who can build the statistical models underneath a report, is rare to find in one person. Most practices split it across a lab, a gym, and a data team. Here, it's one person end to end, which means nothing gets lost in translation between the measurement and the recommendation.

Background

Research, teaching, and coaching

Research

Postdoctoral research studying human movement, including wearable sensor data, gait analysis, and fall-risk modeling in older adults, alongside earlier biomechanics research in athletic performance.

Teaching

University-level kinesiology instruction, including coursework in applied biomechanics and exercise physiology.

Coaching

Over a decade coaching track and field, working directly with sprint and hurdle athletes on the same speed and power principles this practice consults on.

How It Shows Up In The Work

Research behind the reports

The two sides of this practice come from two different research threads.

Force & Power / Track & Field Projections

Built on years of biomechanics and sprint performance research, from an early thesis on a sprint training protocol's effect on jumping performance to the statistical modeling behind hundreds of thousands of tracked athlete performances.

Balance & Fall Prevention

Built on research into gait, balance, and fall risk in older adults, including wearable sensor studies and community fall-prevention presentations for older adult groups.

Objective Data. Informed Decisions.

Every claim on this site is one I can defend with the data behind it. A projection report tells you how well a model has matched real outcomes in the past, not a promise about any single athlete's future. A balance report compares your results to published research thresholds, not a guess dressed up as a diagnosis. I would rather undersell a result than overstate one, because the value of measurement disappears the moment the claims stop being accurate.
