About the Sports Physiology unit
Sports physiology (game sports)
The team supports the physical performance development of Swiss elite and emerging athletes in game sports through performance analyses and training recommendations.
Sports physiology (strength)
The Sports Physiology section currently supports the physical performance development of Swiss national teams across ten different sports requiring explosive strength. It uses a variety of performance tests, some of which have been developed in-house, to determine maximum and explosive strength, and derives training recommendations from the results.
Sports physiology endurance
The Sports physiology (endurance) section supports elite sport in Switzerland through its provision of practice-centred services, teaching and research and development.
