Athlete Profiling Service

At Acer House Practice, we offer a specialised Athlete Profiling Service designed to enhance the performance and injury resilience of athletes across various sports. This comprehensive service has attracted a diverse range of athletes, including many Team GB sprinters and Olympians as well as athletes from abroad such as Olympic hurdlers from Ireland and professional footballers from Denmark, all seeking to optimise their performance through detailed profiling.

Athlete Profiling Service

Our profiling system integrates advanced assessments of physical capabilities, biomechanics, and strength to tailor an approach that not only enhances performance but also identifies and addresses potential injury risks. Whether you’re an elite sprinter, footballer, or team sport athlete, we create a personalised profile to uncover your strengths and areas for improvement, allowing you to perform at your peak while minimising injury.

Strength Profiling for Performance and Injury Prevention

The foundation of our Athlete Profiling Service lies in our Strength Profiling System, which evaluates key physical capacities, including strength, power, and reactivity. Through a series of targeted tests, we identify an athlete’s physical potential and any limitations that may hinder performance or increase the risk of injury.

For example, in sprinting, the ability to generate force at high speed is essential. Elite sprinters often exhibit incredibly brief ground contact times—around 0.1 seconds – requiring exceptional technique and strength. We assess this through force plate tests like the Countermovement Jump (CMJ) to evaluate lower-body power, and the drop jump and repeated hop test to assess reactive strength. These tests help us understand how well an athlete can absorb and generate force quickly, crucial for sprinting performance.

Additionally, we evaluate maximal strength in sport specific positions as well as isolating muscles using dynamometry to identify limb asymmetries and calculate muscle imbalances between opposing muscle groups. This gives us insight into how an athlete’s strength profile can affect their performance and influence their risk of injury, particularly in high-speed movements.

Tailored Training Plans and Injury Risk Reduction

Once we’ve developed a comprehensive profile, we work closely with athletes and their coaching teams to aid in the development of individualised training programmes. These programmes aim to address identified weaknesses while enhancing the athlete’s overall performance. We focus on improving mobility, strengthening key muscle groups, and optimising technique to reduce the risk of injury.

Our service has helped athletes achieve faster times, increase their strength output, and improve their overall mobility—all while mitigating the risk of injury during training and competition.

Advanced Biomechanics and Technique Assessment

Our profiling goes beyond strength and power testing. We also conduct an in-depth analysis of biomechanics and sprinting technique, especially for athletes aiming for peak performance in speed-based events. A small technical flaw, such as improper hip extension or excessive dorsiflexion at the ankle, can lead to significant reductions in speed and an increased likelihood of injury.

Recognised in the Sports Medicine and Sports Science Communities

Our Athlete Profiling Service has gained recognition not only in the sports science community but also in the field of sports medicine. We are proud to have been featured by the British Association of Sports and Exercise Medicine (BASEM), which highlights our work’s significance in the broader conversation around injury prevention and performance optimisation. This recognition underscores the scientific rigor behind our profiling process and our commitment to providing evidence-based solutions for athletes at all levels.

A Global Reputation for Excellence

Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for excellence that has attracted athletes from all over the world. Our clinic has been visited by Olympic-level athletes, including sprinters and footballers, seeking to refine their performance through our advanced profiling services. Our work with athletes from Denmark, Ireland, and beyond highlights our ability to deliver world-class assessments and training plans that cater to the unique needs of elite athletes.

Our Athlete Profiling Service has helped athletes overcome technical deficiencies, enhance their physical performance, and significantly reduce the likelihood of injury, ensuring that they can continue to push the boundaries of their sport.
