We are delighted to finally be able to offer performance testing at Praxis Aklin as well.
These examinations and consultations are carried out at Praxis Aklin by Roger Vogel (Board Certified Specialist FMH in Orthopedic Surgery, Sports Medicine (SGSM)), Certified Elite Sports Coach and Sports Physician. In principle, all examinations are designed individually and tailored to the needs of each athlete.
Performance tests are used to assess an athlete's current level of performance, for example during training or after an injury. Based on the test results, training recommendations can be given, the progress of training or rehabilitation can be monitored, and overtraining can also be identified.
When a performance test is carried out under conditions that are as standardized as possible and repeated at regular intervals, it allows for a longitudinal comparison, meaning it can provide insight into an individual's performance development over time.
When a performance test is carried out according to official guidelines, in other words, in a standardized manner, the results also allow for a cross comparison, meaning a comparison with other athletes from the same sport, or even from other sports.
For these reasons, we primarily offer standardized performance tests based on the guidelines set out by Swiss Olympic.
A performance test usually only assesses a specific aspect of a given sport. Many other factors that influence performance, such as the specific demands of a particular sport, as well as psychological factors during an important competition, are not accounted for in a performance test carried out "in the lab." The results of a performance test are therefore always only an approximation of actual performance in competition.
