JMTA Athletic Assessment and Risk Assessment Screenings

This assessment can be beneficial in several ways:

Movement Competency Evaluation: JMTA ‘s athletic training staff evaluates athletes’ movement patterns, biomechanics, and both overall physical capabilities and capacities that are specific to tennis. This evaluation provides a baseline understanding of athletes’ strengths and weaknesses, including speed, agility, strength, and power.

Injury Risk Identification: By assessing JMTA player movement competency, the JMTA athletic training staff identifies areas of increased injury risk. This includes analyzing movement patterns or weaknesses that lead to increased injury risk during training or competition. This information guides the implementation of targeted injury prevention strategies and training plans.

Performance Improvement: The assessment identifies areas for improvement that enhance on-court performance. The athletic training staff designs customized training programs that address weaknesses and limitations, including exercises, drills, and techniques aimed at improving speed, strength, power production and overall movement efficiency.

Overall, the movement competency assessment conducted by JMTA's athletic training staff plays a crucial role in optimizing athlete performance by leading to targeted training plans that reduce the risk of injuries and that maximize JMTA athletes’ potentials on the tennis court.
