Athletic Profiling/ Baseline Testing

What is Athletic profiling/ baseline testing?
High Performance Athletic profiling involves testing an athlete’s physical capabilities, identifying strengths and uncovering areas for improvement. It also can highlight potential movement patterns that may lead to an increased risk of injury. The testing battery is conducted with objective data on various performance metrics. The testing is a series of stations, using a force plate, a dynamometer for strength testing as well as tools to assess movement patterns. A corrective exercise program is then provided to each athlete based on the results. We would also like to include an opportunity for concussion baseline testing (SCAT6).

Why Athletic Profiling?

• Establishes a performance baseline
• Identifies strengths and weaknesses/areas of improvement
• Assists with injury prevention strategies
• Guides personal training/ S&C programming (can be incorporated into dryland)
• Informs return to play decisions to make the process more objective (ie. the player needs to achieve their baseline in jumping/ movement/ concussion testing before going back to games).

The 45min assessment cost for all tests is 135$ (special pricing for SMHA) which is covered by health insurance. For more information, refer to Sea to Sky Sports Physio for online booking (www.seatoskysportsphysio.com).
