Sport-specific Training

Sport-specific training is a highly differentiated, targeted training approach that focuses on the specific requirement profiles and biomechanical movement patterns of a particular sport. It is based on a detailed analysis of sports-relevant components, such as characteristic movement patterns, energetic and neuromuscular demands, typical stress patterns and common injury mechanisms.

The core principle is the functional transferability of training exercises to the specific requirements of the respective sport, which is achieved by integrating characteristic movement patterns, speeds, force vectors and tactical elements. This high specificity results in optimal training adjustments through the principle of training adaptation towards the required performance.

In physiotherapy, sport-specific training plays a decisive role, particularly in the late phase of rehabilitation and in return-to-sport. It bridges the gap between general rehabilitation and full athletic ability by moving progressively from controlled, isolated movements to complex, competition-related situations.

Areas of application:

• Return-to-sport after injuries
• Sport-specific performance enhancement
• Simulation of competition-related situations
• Injury prevention in sport
