Strength diagnostics
We offer different test procedures for strength diagnostics. For the exact content and process, please contact the respective center.
Core strength test
The core strength endurance test according to Swiss Olympic is a standardized strength test for the core muscles. It consists of three dynamic strength exercises performed using just the individual’s own body weight. This method is used to test and assess the strength of the anterior, lateral and posterior group of core muscles.
Weak core muscles negatively impact on the individual’s performance in numerous types of sports and are often also the cause of muscular imbalances as well as overstraining of the musculoskeletal system. The core muscles form an important component in the efficiency of athlete in numerous endurance and strength sports; they also contribute to the stability of the body and movement precision in many types of ball games, contact sports and martial arts.
Jump test
The standardize jump test according to Swiss Olympic provides accurate findings on the speed, jumping ability and endurance of the test person. The height and speed of the individual’s jumping capabilities can be precisely measured with the integration of the force-time record from a force platform, as other systems use the time in the air. In many types of sport, the jump test is used as the “data bearer values” and are often more useful than isolated strength tests as it tests the entire muscle group.
Isokinetic strength tests
Isokinetic strength measurements record the strength and performance of joints at specific angles. An important area in which such a test would be used is for the detection of muscle imbalances, for example in the knee, ankle or shoulder. These may not just hinder an individual's performance, it may also over strain their musculoskeletal system. If necessary, this can be counteracted with the appropriate training resources.
In addition to strength testing, isokinetics can also be used in isolated training; the option of eccentric training units for athletes is of particular interest.
