The need to profile is essential for health and performance. The changes in physical strength and body size affect an athlete's mechanics. Only specific sports movement-based tests can provide an adequate foundation for assessing the athlete’s progress and progression. It narrows the focus and spots red flags. Developing such a Profling strategy can offer an effective solution for monitoring changes in movement and technique in response to training and coaching intervention as well as return to play.
Research has shown that biomechanics analysis can help predict injuries. It also tells us that when returning to play, it doesn’t matter how strong you are in the gym; it’s what you apply to the ground running that matters. Only a running-based test can provide an adequate foundation for assessing the athlete’s progress.
