For athletes, teams and coaches: we measure strength, speed and explosiveness on lab equipment and turn the values into a report that gives your training a reason.
Testing in Winterthur, mobile across Switzerland for Combines. Results and history in the VYTA App.
Priority for this block: Endurance. The strength values are there, they just do not hold up over the length of a game.

Starting point
Anyone can train hard. Knowing what to train is the hard part.
Most athletes who come to us have trained seriously for years. What is missing is not effort. It is the information about where the effort belongs.
01
The stopwatch lies
Hand-timed sprints vary by up to 0.24 s. That is more than the difference between a good season and a bad one. Without timing gates you are measuring noise.
02
Jump height does not tell you why
Two athletes both jump 40 cm. One gets there with a fast, stiff take-off, the other with a long dip. Each needs different training. A tape measure cannot see that difference.
03
Everything at once means nothing done properly
Strength, speed, endurance and robustness in the same block gives you small gains everywhere over twelve weeks and none where it counts.
04
Without a retest it stays an opinion
A single test day is a snapshot. Only the second data point, with the same protocol, shows whether the training worked.
Approach
Measure. Interpret. Retest.
Three steps, always in this order, always with the same protocol. That is the whole trick, and the reason the numbers stay comparable over years.
01
Measure
As many values as your profile needs.
Force plates, timing gates, isometric strength testing, 3D Body Scan. Which stations we use depends on your sport and profile. Each one follows a fixed sequence, so the next test stays comparable.
02
Identify
Focus areas, not a data list.
Your values compared with your sport, your profile and your previous tests. From that we name what comes first, and just as clearly what you can leave alone this year.
03
Improve
Retest with the same protocol.
You keep training on your own or with us. The retest runs the same protocol. If nothing moves, we change the plan, not the expectation.
Performance areas
Six areas that determine your performance.
Which of them we measure for you depends on your sport and profile. We settle that in the initial call. At the retest, the same protocol runs again.
Linear Speed
How quick you are over the first few metres and how fast you are at top speed. Those are two different things and they need different training.
Typical tests
5 to 30 m sprint
20 Yard Dash
Flying Sprint
Metrics
Split times · Acceleration · Max Speed · Speed Drop-off
Change of Direction
How quickly you change direction, and whether the time is lost while braking or while accelerating again.

Process
How a test day runs.
On the left the route for individual athletes, on the right the one for teams.
01
Booking and initial call
Sport, profile, phase of the season and injury history. Ten minutes in an online meeting, so we choose the right protocol.
02
Test day
Standardised warm-up, then the tests at the stations that tell us something about your profile. The Assessment always runs in a group, the Deep Dive always 1:1. We guide you through every station.
03
Results in the app
The measured values are in the VYTA App almost live. The analysis, interpreted for your sport and profile, follows as soon as it is ready.
04
Review session
We explain the reasoning behind the focus areas and what they mean for your training.
05
Retest
Same protocol, second data point. You carry on alone or we take over the coaching.
01
Briefing with the staff
Team size, sport, phase of the season and what you want to decide at the end. Then you receive a quote.
02
Defining the test protocol
We choose the stations that tell you something for your sport and leave out whatever only costs time.
03
Combine on site
Three to eight stations in parallel, groups rotate. Two to six hours, depending on team size and test scope.
04
Team Report and Leaderboard
Within three days: team overview, leaderboard, Metric Winners and the individual profiles in the app.
05
Debrief and retest
Review with the coaching staff, optionally a retest after pre-season or at the end of the season.
The difference
What sets us apart from a fitness test at the gym.
The equipment is one thing. What matters more is what happens afterwards, and that next time is measured in exactly the same way.
Measuring precisely, not estimating
We work with professional measuring equipment such as ForceDecks, SmartSpeed and Dynamo. That lets us record performance objectively, not by gut feeling.
Comparable conditions
The same protocols, clear procedures and documented conditions make sure results still mean something at the next test.
Only measuring what is relevant
More data does not automatically mean more insight. We choose tests by the questions they answer and what they are worth for your training.
Clarity instead of a flood of data
You do not get an endless spreadsheet, but a clear interpretation of your strengths, your deficits and your most important areas for development.
Results that lead into training
The measured values turn into concrete priorities and recommendations. You know what to work on and how to check your progress later.
Making progress visible
A single test shows where you stand now. Repeated assessments show whether your training is actually having the effect you want.
Feedback
What athletes and coaches see with VYTA
Feedback from Assessments and Combines.
Combine
Before the Combine, we mainly had our own impressions. Afterwards we could see clearly for every player where she stands and what we need to work on specifically in pre-season. It was organised professionally and took very little effort on our side.

Built by athletes. For athletes.
VYTA grew out of our own frustration: lots of training, little knowledge. We are building the testing we would have needed ourselves.
Roman is an athlete, coach and developer. He knows performance-oriented training from his own experience and combines that understanding with precise diagnostics, clear analysis and his own software. His standard: data must not only be correct, it must enable concrete decisions for training.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Anything not answered here, we usually answer by email the same day.
For anyone who takes their performance seriously: from ambitious recreational sport to elite sport. You do not need to bring a particular level. What matters is that you want to know where you stand instead of guessing.
Does the Assessment run in a group or individually?
The Performance Assessment always runs as a group or workshop session. The Performance Deep Dive is always an individual session, 1:1.
How long does an Assessment take?
The Performance Assessment takes around 90 to 120 minutes. The Performance Deep Dive, with endurance analysis and a detailed 3D Body Scan, takes about two hours.
Which tests will I do?
That depends on your sport and profile. We measure in the areas of strength, speed, explosiveness, change of direction, endurance and robustness. Within those, we choose the tests that tell us something about you. At the retest, exactly the same protocol runs again, otherwise the comparison would be worthless.
Do I get my results digitally?
Yes. The measured values are in the VYTA App almost live. The analysis with interpretation and focus areas follows as soon as it is ready. You can share the report with your coach, physio or club.
What happens after the testing?
You receive your strengths, your limitations and the focus areas in the order you should tackle them, each with the reasoning behind it. From there you choose: keep training on your own and come back later for a retest, or start Performance Coaching.
What does an Endurance Screening cost?
VO2max or lactate on its own costs 249 CHF, both combined 349 CHF. The Performance Deep Dive includes the endurance analysis; lactate testing costs an extra 100 CHF there. Endurance testing always takes place with us in Winterthur.
Can a whole team be tested?
Yes, that is our Combine format. It makes sense from around ten people and works for up to a hundred. Our largest test day so far had 65 people. Every person gets their own profile, and the coaching staff also receive a Team Report and Leaderboard.
What does a Combine cost?
The price depends on team size, test scope and location. After the briefing we send you a quote with a fixed day rate for the test day. That means no surprises. Send us the key details and you will have a figure within two working days.
Can VYTA come to our venue?
Yes. The equipment is mobile, and we set up the stations in your hall, on your pitch or in your weights room. What is needed depends on the protocol: a hard, level surface for the jumps, and for sprints ideally the surface you play on, or a hall. For endurance testing and the detailed 3D Body Scan, you come to us in Winterthur.
Ready to make performance visible?
One test session tells you more about your performance in a morning than three months of training by feel.
