Performance Assessment

One assessment. And you know what to work on.

Around 90 to 120 minutes of testing in strength, speed, explosiveness and change of direction, plus the 3D body scan. At the end you have numbers instead of assumptions, and the focus areas that shape your next months.

For you if you

  • want to know where you really stand instead of guessing
  • want to see your strengths and limitations objectively
  • want to point your training more precisely
  • want to prove progress later with a retest

Performance areas

Six areas that determine your performance.

Which of these we measure for you depends on your sport and profile. We settle that in a short call beforehand. A retest runs the same protocol in the same order; only then are the values comparable over time.

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.

Typical tests
  • 5-10-5
  • L-Drill
  • sport-specific COD setups
Metrics
Total time · Split times · COD Deficit · Re-Acceleration

Explosiveness

How quickly you put force into the ground. Not how high you jump, but how that height comes about.

Typical tests
  • Countermovement Jump
  • Abalakov
  • Drop Jump
  • Broad Jump
Metrics
Jump Height · Peak Power · RSI · Impulse · Takeoff Velocity · Asymmetries

Maximal strength

How much force you can produce at all, measured isometrically and therefore comparable from day to day.

Typical tests
  • Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull
  • Isometric Squat
  • Grip Strength
Metrics
Peak Force · relative Force · Left/Right Balance · Force-time curve

Endurance

How long you can sustain output and how quickly you recover between two efforts.

Typical tests
  • Ramp test
  • Step test
  • Repeated Sprint Ability
  • sport-specific ergometer protocols
Metrics
VO2max · Threshold · Heart rate zones · Performance decline · Recovery

Robustness

Where your body shows differences between left and right, and what shapes how much load you can take. The part of the profile that prevents time out.

Typical tests
  • Single-Leg Tests
  • Mobility Checks
  • 3D Body Scan
Metrics
Asymmetries · Movement range · Segment circumferences · Body composition

Measured on ForceDecks, SmartSpeed Gates, Dynamo, spirometry and 3D Body Scan.

Process

From booking to retest.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 04

    Review session

    We explain the reasoning behind the focus areas and what they mean for your training.

  5. 05

    Retest

    Same protocol, second data point. You carry on alone or we take over the coaching.

Formats

Assessment, Deep Dive or ongoing support.

The starting point is always the same testing. The difference is how deep we go and how long we stay with you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Anything not answered here, we usually answer by email the same day.

Who is VYTA for?

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.
