The programme included a medical check-up with Dr Pierre-Etienne-Fournier, head of the sports medicine department at the CRR and doctor to the naional Swiss football team, jumping tests to assess explosiveness and an endurance test on a treadmill. In a second phase, each player underwent an isokinetic test and a physical check-up to highlight any muscular imbalances
These evaluations are important and help to optimise the preparation programme. The tests are carried out individually and the data is used by the FC Sion staff to adjust the next weeks of preparation.
As a reminder, this type of test is also available to all amateur sportsmen and women who are concerned about their fitness and interested in practising sport in the best way.
