In order to determine the aims of the training, it is of utmost importance to have an insight into the condition of the relevant abilities, characteristics and kinds of knowledge of the athlete. Therefore, diagnostics is necessary for a modern approach to the supreme sport. That is why it is important to determine and follow morphological, biochemical, biomechanical, motoric, social and psychological indicators of the state of trainedness. Diagnostics is the grounding factor in the planning and programming of each training session and only with its help we are able to get to know the level of abilities within the athlete, that is to say, their deficit which we have to improve in order to make the athlete reach the supreme level of performance.
Diagnostics is very important in the prevention of injuries, as well. Actually, the obtained bits of information on probable postural, muscular and biochemical deficits enable the designing of individual preventive programs, which decreases the probability of injuries and increases the ability of faster regeneration within the athlete.
Diagnostics in sports includes an initial testing which is necessary for the designing of a training program, as well as transitional and final kinds of measuring which determine the advancement of the athlete and the efficiency of the program.
Diagnostics in the Body & Mind Studio is an integral system which encompasses numerous methods on the basis of which we are able to get a complete picture on functioning of the athlete’s body and to plan and design an individual training program on the basis of obtained results.
PROGRESSIVE® sports diagnostics includes:
- anthropological measurements
- the measurements of lactic elements
- static and dynamic postural measurements
- the biomechanical analysis
- diagnostics of the mechanics of walking and running
- Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization kinds of testing (DNS tests)
- Neurokinetic kinds of testing (NKT tests)
- Functional Movement Screening (FMS)
- PROGRESSIVE® batteries of tests for the assessment and estimation of motoric abilities
- EMG
- the testing of cognitive abilities by the Witty system
- OptoGait system
The diagnostic overall picture is determined on the basis of the obtained results. In accordance with this overall picture, the individualized preventive protocol and the training program get elaborated, taking into consideration the period in the athlete’s season, their possibilities and aims. Altogether with the designed program each athlete is educated in such a way that they understand the sense and the purpose of the program as well as the precise and exact performance of all its segments. The athlete with a solid education and literacy on motoric system becomes independent and competent, which contributes to their health and sports performance.
The Body & Mind Studio is a pioneer of such an individual approach based on meticulous analyses and dedicated to the education of the athlete. That is exactly why we are the first choice for a large number of professional and supreme athletes.
Beside our athletes, this service is available to all those who want to get an insight into their actual condition, so that they could develop an efficient system of conditioning preparation based on the obtained results.
