Every football player aspires to perform at their best on the field. At North West Physio Eatons Hill, we help you do just that with our comprehensive Football Performance/Fitness Testing.
Why is Football Performance/Fitness Testing Important?
Our Football Performance/Fitness Testing is crucial to elevate your performance. It provides insight into muscle weaknesses or imbalances and can help predict potential injuries.
The data collected in these tests aid in improving your lower limb and core control, making you a more versatile and resilient player on the field.
What Do We Assess in Our Football Performance/Fitness Testing?
Our testing process is thorough yet efficient. It involves a three-stage protocol where you’ll perform tests on three VALD machines to assess both dynamic and static measures of strength.
In conjunction with VALD technology, we also evaluate the range of movement, flexibility, and coordination of your major joints.
We leave no stone unturned when it comes to assessing your football fitness. We use Force Decks to assess your explosiveness, balance, side-to-side muscular differences, and landing control.
The NordBord is also implemented to assess your hamstring strength and control – crucial for high-speed running and injury prevention.
To top it off, we use the Force Frame helps us examine your groin and glute strength, key for generating change of direction and high-speed control.
The Benefits of Regular Testing
Regular football performance/fitness testing is recommended to provide real-time insight into your current strength and fitness.
It also helps us identify any potential injury risks and guides your strength work and training schedules to keep you at peak performance.
Making Your Training More Effective
The data we collect is compared against a database of both amateur and professional teams, matching players to their age range and skill level.
This allows for targeted training to be implemented, aligning your current strength and performance values with top players.
