TecnoBody | Move Different – Sports Performance Assessment in Tennis. The project featured in Scienza & Sport
At TecnoBody, we believe that technology delivers its greatest value when it is part of a shared methodology and a multidisciplinary ecosystem of expertise. This is the principle behind Move Different, our network of selected partners who embrace the TecnoBody philosophy and leverage our complete technological ecosystem to deliver advanced functional assessment, injury prevention, and performance pathways.
Within this framework, the project on sports performance assessment in tennis was developed and has recently been featured in the latest edition of Scienza & Sport, a leading publication for professionals in strength and conditioning, sports medicine, and applied sports science.
The article presents the project carried out by Move Different Vicenza in collaboration with the FITP – Italian Tennis and Padel Federation, through a multi-year assessment and monitoring program involving young national-level athletes.
From Measurement to Actionable Insights
The project's objective was to integrate objective functional assessment with the tennis performance model and an athletic training program developed in collaboration with the FITP medical team, creating an evaluation framework capable of supporting a more personalized approach to athlete management.
Using our ecosystem, several key performance components were assessed, including:
• Running and foot-contact analysis
• Dynamic balance and neuromotor control
• Lumbopelvic function
• Biomechanical analysis of tennis-specific movements
• Explosive power and jump performance
• Reaction time
The goal was not simply to capture a snapshot of each athlete's condition, but to generate objective, repeatable data that could effectively support strength and conditioning coaches, technical staff, and healthcare professionals in their decision-making process.
The integration of advanced functional assessment, data analysis, and multidisciplinary collaboration enables more accurate and individualized training pathways, supporting both performance optimization and more effective injury risk management.
Through the Move Different network, TecnoBody continues to promote a culture of assessment based on objective data, shared methodology, and interdisciplinary expertise, providing sports centers, healthcare professionals, and sports organizations with advanced solutions for athlete and human performance management.
