SPARQ - The Company

SPARQ Products, Inc. focuses on helping athletes improve their sports performance. Using science, innovation and design, SPARQ generates new methods of training and cutting edge products centered on five of the most important components of superior athleticism-Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness.

Conventional wisdom holds that athletes are born "fast" or "slow." However, science has proven conclusively that a conditioning program focused on retraining muscle fibers and neurons to react more quickly and accurately can greatly increase an athlete's speed, agility and explosiveness. SPARQ Products offers innovative products, performance training programs and concepts to athletes to help individuals improve the fundamentals of athletic performance.

Take your game to the next level by unleashing your athletic potential. SPARQ Products provides a wide range of innovative performance training products that help athletes be better. Products include the new Agility Web that duplicates in-game scenarios to improve agility, coordination, balance and foot speed. ID Magazine Design Distinction Award winning Speed Hurdles improve speed, power and agility for all sports. The Resist Vest adds weight to strength and resistance workouts to gain speed, power and quickness. The XLR8 Digital Timing System provides an accurate and reliable method to measure progress. These tools and many more help every athlete become faster, stronger and more explosive.

SPARQ Products is a licensee of SPARQ, Inc. SPARQ was founded under the premise that "What you can measure you can improve." Sports have evolved: One-dimensional athletes are a thing of the past, and the athlete with well-rounded and highly developed athletic skills is at a premium. Enter the SPARQ Rating. Created by SPARQ, Inc. with the help of nationally recognized trainers and coaches, the SPARQ Rating combines what were isolated, individual tests of speed, power and explosiveness into a single number characterizing overall athleticism. There are currently SPARQ Ratings for football, baseball, fastpitch, soccer, basketball and ice hockey. Each consists of four to five tests that measure the elements of athleticism specific to that sport. Testing, research and validation is being conducted on additional sports - stay tuned for updates.

Since 2004 when SPARQ was founded, tens of thousands of high school athletes across the country have calculated their SPARQ Ratings, received personalized training from SPARQ and compared themselves to other athletes by age, position, and geography. The key value of the SPARQ Rating is that it provides athletes of all ages with an invaluable tool for measuring and comparing results, focusing training, maximizing on-field success and, perhaps most importantly, staying motivated.
