Sport-Tests (Switzerland) - objective and meaningful performance diagnostics in football, thanks to standardized tests and the most modern and accurate electronic time measurement combined with highly efficient management information system
In today's modern sport, performance diagnosis is an integral part of the sport, and it is becoming increasingly important, whether it is to assess the current performance and training progress of an elite sportsman, or to promote and develop young talents. With a systematic schedule of performance tests it is ensured that the resulting information can show the strengths and weaknesses of the athletes and can be improved by specific training.
The technology used by sports tests (Switzerland) plays a leading role in performance diagnostics in North America. For the past five years, all ice hockey players have been tested in the world's best junior ice hockey league, the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) In addition, the testing technology is also applied to various NHL organizations. The test disciplines were developed in collaboration with Hockey Canada and have become the global standard for ice hockey tests.
In football, sports tests (Switzerland) have gained further experience with tests with and without ball in Switzerland and Slovakia, as well as sufficient test objectivity for a high degree of reliability and validity, in order to achieve a maximum standardization of the test situation to ensure.
The performance-specific football-specific tests offered by Sport-Tests (Switzerland) and carried out in the future consist mainly of test disciplines, which have been applied since 2004 by the German Football Association (DFB) and Swiss Football Association (SFV).
Phase 1: Speed reaction
Linearsprint test over 10 meters without ball, purpose Measurement of the fast force such as maximum force, explosive force and starting force. (1 Review)
Linearsprint test over 30 meters without ball, purpose measurement of the acceleration capability and running coordination to stabilize the achieved speed. (1 Review)
Linear slalom test over 24 meters with and without ball, purpose measurement of forward mobility with different fast directional changes, and the ability to lose ball control at high speed. (2 Reviews)
Zig-zag sprint over 20 meters, with and without ball with four acyclic directional changes of 90 °, purpose in a few seconds to switch to another running mode including good ball treatment provided. (2 Reviews)
Agility and dribbling test with and without ball, purpose to complete five sharp acyclic directional changes between 120º and 180º with and without ball. 2 (Tests)
Phase 2: Reaction speed
1.Reaction test over 18 meters with and without ball, purpose measurement of reaction speed, concentration, explosive steps, movement speed good ball treatment provided. (2 tests) Phase 3: Balljointing1.Balljumping within 45 seconds is allowed only mutual juggling with both feet. The course (8 sections) is run by the players in the form of an eight. Each completed section is scored with a point. (1 test) TESTABJECTIVITY The norm-oriented tests are carried out by the staff of Sport-Tests (Switzerland), and they give the strict standardization of the design and implementation. On the basis of this criterion, the equality of conditions for the evaluation of the test results is ensured and thus guarantees a high test reliability and validity. In the summer the test records are on artificial grass, in the winter in the gymnasium.TEST ASSESSMENTThe various tests are controlled with the tablets on the football field and the test results can be tracked continuously in real time. Thus, large time deviations from standard values can be cleared and the athletes can be allowed a second attempt. The time measurement is accurately measured to a thousandth of a second (millisecond). After completed test, the test data can be immediately uploaded online to the database. The detailed test results can then be sent to the coaches via e-mail in Excel and / or PDF format. In addition, each athlete receives his or her own online account and can thus at any time query his test results in the database and compare them with team coaches. The test data are stored historically, which allows an athlete to track his athletic performance for years. Development of sports tests (Switzerland) Football tests
