Minnesota Aurora FC on Instagram: "Wellness Wednesday 🩵
This week, our players went through advanced performance testing designed to help them move stronger, recover smarter, and perform at their highest level! 💪
The jumping assessments use Bertec Force Plates to measure jump mechanics, and force production. These tests help identify movement patterns, asymmetries, and areas where players can improve explosiveness, stability, and injury prevention. These elements are all important for acceleration and changing direction during a match.
The strength assessments use isokinetic and isometric testing to evaluate quadriceps and hamstring strength, comparing left vs. right side power output and overall strength relative to body weight. This gives insight into muscle balance, control, and power generation, helping athletes improve passing consistency, acceleration, and overall on-field performance while reducing injury risk."
