Study on the effectiveness of a personalized training program based on the SciencePerfo profile

Speedtracker allows you to create a SciencePerfo profile for each field hockey player based on two comparative criteria:

  1. Efficiency, represented on the vertical axis;
  2. Acceleration, along the horizontal axis.

SciencePerfo has developed personalized training programs based on the athlete’s profile. The basic principle behind these training programs is that training athletes according to their strengths and weaknesses will improve performance and reduce injuries.

Participants:

2 similar groups of 13- to 16-year-old competitive field hockey players from high school physical education programs participated in the project.

SciencePerfo group: 26 athletes trained for 6 weeks with an individualized program based on their SciencePerfo profile.

Control group: 31 athletes trained with a generalized training program, as is common in sports studie

Protocol:

Results:

After 6 weeks:

  • More players improved in the SciencePerfo group
  • Significant improvement in time to 30 meters for the SciencePerfo group
  • Significant improvements in maximum speed at 30 meters from the SciencePerfo group
