What is Athlete Performance Enhancement?
One of the most effective ways to achieve high performance in athletes is to prevent injuries. The first step to increasing performance is to identify athletes' biomechanical deficiencies and make them less prone to injury. This process not only keeps athletes healthier, but also maximizes their performance.
The way to high performance is to avoid injury.
To improve your performance, we first analyze your athlete and identify any biomechanical deficiencies that may make you prone to injury.
Your features that we examine during the athlete analysis examination:
- If your joints can move at the required angles,
- If your muscles are flexible enough,
- If your muscles are strong enough,
- If the muscles have compatible strength and flexibility levels relative to each other,
- If your body parts can move in harmony with each other,
- If your overall balance and control is good, we expect fewer injuries.
Corrective and Preventive Exercise Programs
After the initial analysis, athletes are usually subjected to a corrective and preventive exercise program that lasts at least six weeks. This program aims to eliminate identified deficiencies, strengthen the athlete's physical abilities and prevent possible injuries. After this stage, athletes can safely move on to more intense types of training.
Moving to Advanced Training and Sport-Specific Exercises
Once basic strength, flexibility and balance are well established, athletes can begin advanced forms of training that focus on improving specific performance metrics, such as speed and agility. Additionally, exercises specific to their sport are included in the program to help athletes hone their skills and improve their competitive performance.
Performance Enhancement in Athletes
These comprehensive assessment and training programs specifically designed for athletes help protect them from injury while maximizing their performance. These programs, tailored to each athlete’s unique needs, have the potential to increase an athlete’s success on the field and career longevity. Performance enhancement not only enhances strengths, but also strengthens weaknesses, allowing the athlete to reach their best potential.
