Checking your own motor skills is an important aspect of training planning and managing athletes, both in amateur and competitive sport, but also in the context of rehabilitation. The identification of potential is central to every sport, whether team or individual sport. This is the only way to identify development potential and provide specific pointers. Biomechanical performance diagnostics can be used to identify where exactly the focus should be placed in training in order to improve, but also to prevent injuries.

Analyses for maximum strength, jumping power, speed, agility and coordination are the focus here. These tests also offer injured athletes an ideal opportunity to check and coordinate their rehabilitation. Our biofeedback training tools can also be used to provide specific information for therapeutic exercises, for example with regard to leg axis or pelvic stability.
info
Analysing the strength diagnostics provides information about the basic ability of the legs to generate force in an isolated situation. Maximum strength, strength endurance and the strength ratio are closely scrutinised here. Particularly relevant is the comparison of the right and left side as well as the comparison of the ratio of extensor to flexor muscles. In sport, strength symmetry is important to prevent injuries. In rehabilitation, valuable information can also be gained here about the success of the respective therapy on the way back to movement.

info
Analysing jumping power provides information about the ability to use the necessary strength and coordination in a dynamic situation in a targeted manner. The focus of the analysis is on speed, maximum strength, stabilisation ability and leg symmetry.
In a test battery of different jump forms, we create an overall picture here:
- Counter-movement jump (CMJ) with both legs
- Counter-movement jump (CMJ) one-legged
- Drop-jump (DJ) two-legged
- Plyometric jumps
Systems
Optional:
- 3D force plates
- 2D video analysis
- 3D joint angle determination (movement quality)
- 3D joint loading
- Electromyography (for specific questions)
Prerequisite:
Jumps must be authorised by a doctor for people undergoing rehabilitation.
info
Agility and coordination skills are particularly important in sports such as football, handball, hockey and tennis. Being able to move quickly, economically and skilfully from A to B while also being able to make various changes of direction, such as dodging the opponent or incorporating feints, often makes the difference between success and failure.
With our SpeedCourt and over 100 different protocols, we offer an ideal opportunity to carry out sport-specific tests and settings and incorporate cognitive elements. Depending on the protocol, we can specify side-to-side, forwards-backwards, various changes of direction or combinations of these movement tasks. Using force plates and contact mats embedded in the floor, we can provide even more specific information on the ability to change direction quickly and efficiently.
Additional modules can optionally be selected to clarify further aspects, such as 2D video documentation or 3D joint angles for specific movement tasks (e.g. 90° change of direction).

Prerequisite:
Running, jumping, quick changes of direction and quick stops take place here. People who are undergoing rehabilitation must be cleared by a doctor to jump and change direction quickly.
