Abstract
Pre-seasonal assessment and performance diagnostics involve biomechanical, physiological and functional testing. These assessments help coaches and the medical team to derive information on athletes’ health and risk of injury as well as well as individual performance capacity. In case of an injury, performance diagnostics data from the uninjured state in the competitive phase of the season can reveal information about an athlete’s individual maximal functional capacity. During rehabilitation process, these values can be used to monitor the rehabilitation process and might serve as target values.
