The difference I saw in my daughter's
strength and jumping skill using this program over the past
year was amazing. Meghan increased her vertical jump 7 inches
which is key in volleyball. She had always played smart but
now she had the strength and confidence to play tough on the
court.
The Sport Injury
Test
Are
you at risk for a knee injury?
The Sports Injury Test
(SIT) measures several important factors relating to
an athlete's strength, coordination and body alignment.
This compilation of tests compares the athlete's performance
to a large research database of over 800 female
athletes. The database is used to understand factors
which may predispose an athlete to injury. These tests
also provide information that allows assessment of hip
and core strength stabilization.
The test includes:
•
History of Prior Injury and Sports Participation
•
Video Analysis of Jumping and Landing Mechanics
•
Functional Hop Tests
- Side-To-Side Timed Hop
- Crossover Hop for Distance
•
Vertec Vertical Jump Assessment

The SIT
requires minimal equipment and was designed to be portable
so that it can easily be taken to any school, sports
club or facility.
The test takes approximately 30 minutes and is
given at the beginning and end of each Sportsmetrics™
training program.
The pre-training test provides baseline information
for participants to benchmark progress and allows the
training to be tailored to the individual athlete's
needs.
The post-training test gives each athlete a tangible
record of improvement. Each participant is also provided
with a personalized report of their results. The Sport
Injury Test is be conducted by Certified Sportsmetrics
Providers.
