Elite Sports Science Researchers Join Forces With Kinotek to Advance Movement Health for Athletes, Gym Members, and Every Human

Published: April 22, 2026

[Portland, ME] — Kinotek, the movement health technology company bringing professional-grade biomechanical analysis to fitness and wellness professionals, today announced that two globally recognized experts in human performance have joined the company as scientific advisors: Dr. Darin Padua, a leading expert in human performance and injury prevention, and Dr. Mark Sakr of the University of Arizona, widely recognized for his leadership in elite athletic medical programs and his recent appointment to a major international role in functional fitness. Both have reviewed Kinotek’s platform and offer an unambiguous endorsement: this technology should be in the hands of every fitness and sports professional — and ultimately, within reach of every human.

“Every fitness and wellness professional should be using this kind of advanced approach to measure human movement health,” said Dr. Padua. “Kinotek has made the impossible possible — elite-level movement analysis available to any gym, any club, any professional who cares about long-term client outcomes.”

“Kinotek’s technology is a game-changer,” said Dr. Sakr. “Whether you’re working with elite athletes or everyday gym members, understanding how someone moves is foundational to keeping them healthy, performing well, and living longer. What Kinotek has built makes that understanding achievable at scale.”

Movement health is increasingly recognized as a critical biomarker of longevity. Dr. Padua’s research has demonstrated a clear link between movement dysfunction — particularly in the knees and ankles — and injury risk. Dr. Sakr brings deep expertise in elite athletic performance medicine and a broad international platform through his leadership in functional fitness. Together, both advisors will collaborate with Kinotek’s Chief Movement Officer, Dr. Marty Miller, and the product development team to enhance and expand the current platform and champion the importance of movement health across the fitness, wellness, and longevity sectors.

“Adding Dr. Padua and Dr. Sakr to our advisory team is a powerful reflection of the credibility Kinotek has built,” said Dr. Marty Miller, Chief Movement Officer at Kinotek. “Our mission has always been to help fitness and sports professionals give their clients an objective window into how they move — and to act on that insight. These partnerships validate that we are on exactly the right path.”

While both advisors’ backgrounds are rooted in elite sport, Kinotek’s technology democratizes that expertise. The same advanced level of movement analysis available to professional sports organizations is now accessible to any fitness professional, gym owner, or wellness practitioner — for any client, any body, any goal.
