Athlete Profiling for Volleyball

Using CMJ, DJ and IMTP data to understand an athletes strengths and weaknesses in force production. Also analysing areas most relevant to the sport such as hip/ groin strength and shoulder internal/ external rotation.

Strength Testing for Basketball

IMTP - assessing lower body peak force
Hip Abduction/ Adduction - identifying any deficits in hip/ groin strength that may affect lateral movements and change of direction.

These metrics help us monitor physical qualities, identify right/left asymmetries and inform individualised training

Athlete Profiling

3 Key Metrics:
- Eccentric Utilisation Ratio indicates stretch shortening cycle efficiency
- Reactive Strength Index tells us how quickly an athlete reacts off the ground
- Dynamic Strength Index provides an insight into how well an athlete can use their strength in explosive movements

These metrics help us understand how the athlete produces force, allowing us to create individualised programs specific to the athlete’s needs.

In-Season Strength & Power Session for Swimming

Main Focus: max strength, rate of force development, hip flexion, anti-rotation and trunk stability

The reason your sprint times have stalled probably isn’t on the track.

Top speed is capped by physical qualities and technical competence.

The physical qualities: how stiff your calf-Achilles spring is, how fast you produce force under your own bodyweight, and your raw force ceiling at a sprint-specific joint angles.

If one of those is the limiter, more sprinting just rehearses it.

So we test before we program.

Calf isometric, countermovement jump, and isometric mid-thigh pull, then your Dynamic Strength Index: the ratio of jump force to max force. That one number tells us whether to build more strength or get you better at expressing the strength you already have.

It’s the difference between a training block that moves your sprint and one that just makes you tired.

Test it. Program it. Sprint faster.

Save this for your next block and send it to a teammate stuck at the same PB.

The strongest lifter in the room, might be the slowest on competition day!
RFD determines explosive power, acceleration, jumping ability, sprint speed and change of direction. Crucial elements in all sports.
Win with the speed of force, not the amount of force!

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT: James Kelso
James has been a member of our Athlete Development Program for over two years, where he has had significant improvements in strength and power. His dedication shows - National Silver Medalist in the 200m breaststroke, State Gold Medalist, and holding multiple records across Sydney East.

Recently invited to train with the NSW Sharks squad at the AIS, James prepares for the physical demands of swimming through consistent strength training. He continues to excel as he works toward his next big goal: earning a place on the Junior Dolphins team!
