Diagnostic of athletes

Diagnostic of athletes is an essential part of the process of planning, control and implementation of training process. It is intended for all those who recognize the need for a modern, scientifically based and verified way to check your current physical condition and on this basis to plan future steps

Regional Institute of Sport and Sports Medicine is according to Law on sport, has been appointed for an institution that controls current shape of elite athletes, without which today we can not imagine a modern training process. For realization of this activity, we are equipped with modern measuring apparatures, and all necessary material and human resources. In this work we have a 50-year positive experience and over 10,000 satisfied controlled athletes. In the diagnostic procedure, depending on the testing objectives and customer needs, we assess motor and functional abilities and assessment of psychosocial status and the degree of psychological preparation of athletes.

Selecting individual tests or creating a group of tests, we agree on that with the client / athlete / coach, according to pre-defined goals. In terms of objectives, testing may be in function of:

Determining the current state of sportmen shape and inform trainers with results,
Monitoring and quality evaluating of implementation of training-transformation process (getting information as to whether changes occured with planned and directed training process),
Forecasts of sporty potential of respondents (the identification of talent), selection or steering children towards certain sports disciplines,
Monitoring of motor abilities of children development (besides motor tests, an integral part of this process is regular health check with monitoring of postural status and identification of possible deformities [spine, feet]. Regular monitoring allows you to detect any imbalances in motor development, making it easier to work on correcting and continuous monitoring of the dynamics of progress),
Trainers and athletes education (properly interpreted test results provide insight into the weakness of respondents, perceive the specific requirements of the selected sports / sport disciplines and offer the possibility of applying the optimal load for the development of desired skills),
Control and monitoring of the rehabilitation process (initial measurement facilitated recognition of the current situation and designing of an appropriate program of training, while the later measurements in function of progress in recovery and adequate correction of the work plan).

Much of the testing is done in laboratory, and by arrangement can be implemented and on the "field" as well.

Packages:

Individual Tests (select one or more tests from a list),
Standard test group divided by sport.

Testing includes:

Preparation for test (testing schedule, information on the necessary prerequisites, the time and ways of testing, selecting appropriate methods, introducing participants with tests tasks),
Testing,
Analysis of results,
Display and interpretation of results,
Display of comparative results.

Our services can be used by:

Sports clubs and individuals,
Sports schools (control of postural status, psychomotor development and functional abilities),
Adolescents who are recovering from sports injuries or illnesses (such as planning and programming process of rehabilitation),
People with diagnosed health problems or those who suspect that they have potential limitations regarding the scope and intensity of physical activity (control of functional, postural and motor status).

CRD series of psychodiagnostic tests

CRD series of psychodiagnostic tests contains 38 standardized tests intended to determine (diagnosis and monitoring) perceptual abilities, thinking, memory, and various forms of psychomotor responses.
The standard battery of tests includes testing the following capabilities: fast reactions, coordination of movements, orientation in space and scope of attention, learning and memory. The battery of tests can be changed and adjusted to certain specific sport or sports events.

CRD series, compared to the classic psycho protocol, has many advantages and if required is possible situational and field testing because it allows:

economical testing (need short time for a large number of individual data),
automated processing of measured results, which allows servicing more athletes (very important when testing the whole team),
periodically checking the status of certain traits in relation to the initial test (test-retest).

Coaches receive a report that includes information on:

current level of development of tested mental ability (expressed numerically, for ease of comparison of results),
dynamic properties of the functioning of central nervous system (speed, stability, and fatigue),
how the identified properties are manifested in a specific sport situation,
indicators of functional or emotional disturbances for individual athletes.

Interpretation of Results

Any text within the expert interpretation of results, with rich documentation and recommendations for the type and manner of implementation of physical activity, and control other factors that directly or indirectly affect our health.

On the basis of precisely defined zone you can load your physical activity to be much more efficient, whether it comes to sport, recreation or the desire to reduce weight.
