In recent years, under the systematic development of sports, particularly football, emphasized by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the dedicated efforts of the leadership and officials of the Uzbekistan Football Association (O‘FA), significant work is being undertaken to ensure that our national teams participate regularly and competently in World Championships. This includes implementing modern technologies and scientific methods in Uzbek football.
The Uzbekistan U-17 national team players underwent physical fitness tests based on modern sports medicine technologies during their training camp in Moscow. These tests were conducted using the VALD Performance system.
Currently, VALD Performance offers cutting-edge technologies in sports medicine and rehabilitation that are actively employed by numerous sports clubs, national teams, and rehabilitation centers worldwide. These systems allow for precise assessments of athletes’ muscle condition, movement biomechanics, overall physical fitness, and mental capabilities.
What systems does VALD Performance offer?
– NordBord – Designed to assess the strength and balance of hamstring muscles. It is primarily used for evaluating injury risk and monitoring rehabilitation effectiveness.
– Modular Systems – Focused on testing and training various muscle groups (such as hips, knees, calves, necks etc.) based on isometric strength.
– HumanTrak 3D System – Analyzes movements in 3D format using cameras and inertia sensors. This system identifies a player’s technique, movement balance, and biomechanical issues.
– AirBands – An innovative band system that monitors blood circulation during training to ensure effective muscle performance.
– SmartSpeed – Measures speed enhancements.
– DynaMo – A modern dynamometer and inclinometer that measures strength and movement angles.
How does this system benefit Uzbek football?
The introduction of VALD Performance systems into Uzbek football provides several key benefits:
✅ Injury Prevention – Using NordBord and other testing systems allows for early identification of athletes’ injury risks, enabling coaches and medical staff to take precautionary measures.
✅ Individualized Rehabilitation – For injured players, each stage of muscle condition is monitored closely to manage the recovery process effectively.
✅ Maximizing Physical Potential – With HumanTrak and SmartSpeed systems analyzing technical skills and physical metrics deeply, players can fully develop their capabilities.
✅ Scientifically-Based Training Process – Training sessions based on precise data and biomechanical analyses serve to identify growth dynamics in players while optimizing their development.
Digital analysis and modern sports technologies are crucial factors for elevating Uzbek football to a global level. The use of VALD Performance systems undoubtedly contributes significantly to preserving our national teams’ health while scientifically assessing and enhancing our players’ physical readiness.
Test results serve as a foundation for team coaches and medical staff to devise individualized training and recovery plans for each player. This ensures young athletes’ health as well as their readiness for competitions while promoting effective mental and physical growth.
The utilization of such modern technologies by O‘FA aims to maintain young footballers’ health while organizing their preparation processes according to international standards—representing a practical expression of a scientific and innovative approach to football.
