Are you an athlete or a coach?

Discover innovative approaches to functional testing in sports!

With professional testing, we can identify limitations and optimize the training load, focusing on sports performance enhancement and injury risk reduction.
Testing is therefore an essential part of strength and conditioning.
We use a series of motor tests designed to assess the level of athlete’s physical readiness to perform their sports specialization.

Services

We offer comprehensive services on several levels. The basis is professional testing with evaluation, which can be followed by consultations and targeted fitness training.

We adapt our services to your sports specialization and requirements.

1. Testing

Performance and musculoskeletal tests

2. Evaluation

Performance capacity and musculoskeletal system functionality overview

3. Consulting

Recommendations for training optimization

4. Training

Training sessions oriented to deficiencies that need to be addressed

Benefits

Our main goal is to bring the test conditions as close as possible to the competitive load. Therefore, we prefer field tests involving sport-specific movements to laboratory tests in an artificial environment, which are also more time-consuming and expensive. We ensure simplicity and maximum efficiency of testing.

Natural Environment

We test directly at sport venues and use tests reflecting sport-specific load

Reliability and Accuracy

We use professional testing equipment (Microgate)

Specificity

We adapt the tests to your sports specialization

Scientific Background

We rely on own research and recent studies in the fields of testing and training
