Conduct physical fitness tests at your school and find the sport potential and individual aptitude of your students.
Idea of the project
Sport Super Power project aims to encourage young people, both with and without disabilities, to lead active lifestyles by discovering their individual potential – Sport Super Power – which will become the basis and driving force in the area of improving physical fitness, health, and mental health, as well as their personal weapon and ticket to social inclusion.
UNLOCK YOUR ATHLETIC POTENTIAL WITH SPORT SUPER POWER - MOTOR SKILLS
Discover your unique athletic capabilities through tailored fitness and sports aptitude tests. Our comprehensive assessment includes 12 exercises targeting 7 motor skills. At Sport Super Power, we believe in unleashing the full spectrum of sporting potential of each person.
Our tailored fitness and sports aptitude tests are designed to evaluate individual strengths across 12 exercises, targeting 7 fundamental motor characteristics.
Strength is our ability to overcome resistance by our muscles - whether lifting weights or performing a push. Training is not about being the strongest around, but about developing strength enough to serve us well in everyday life.
Type of Resistance: We can work out with weights (dumbbells, barbells) or using our own body weight (push-ups, squats).
Selection of Resistance: How much to lift? This is an individual matter. This can be determined by the Lovett test, which will help you choose the right weight.
Type of Exercise: They can be dynamic (with movement) or static (holding a position).
Mode of Movement: Concentric movements are those where the muscle contracts (such as lifting a weight), and eccentric, where the muscle lengthens under load (e.g., lowering a weight).
Exercise Parameters: It's better to do short series with heavier weight than long series with lowweight. This increases strength more effectively.
When to Stop: Exercise until the muscles start to get really tired, but without overdoing it.
REMEMBER! The key is to find the golden mean - not too strong, not too weak. And it's always a good idea to consult a physical education teacher or trainer, to exercise safely and effectively.
HOW TO WORK ON FLEXIBILITY?
Flexibility is the ability of our body to perform high-amplitude movements. It is not about becoming an acrobat or a gymnast, but to move freely and without pain-free movement on a daily basis.
Type of Exercise: Stretching, yoga or Pilates are great examples of exercises that help increase flexibility.
Frequency: Regularity is key. It's better to exercise a few times a week a little at a time, rather than once a once in a while very intensively.
Pace: Exercises for flexibility are done slowly and every movement is controlled. There is no space here for rushing.
Range of Motion: Don't force yourself. Perform movements within a range that you are comfortable with, but try to to gradually increase it.
Duration: Try to hold each position for a certain period of time, such as 15-30 seconds, instead of dynamically changing positions.
Relaxation and Breathing: Remember to breathe deeply and calmly while exercising. This will help you relax and better stretch your muscles.
REMEMBER! Flexibility is not only a matter of muscles, but also of joints and ligaments. That's why it's important to approach it with your head - not to overexert yourself, but also not to neglect regular exercise. And as always, it's a good idea to seek advice from a teacher of of physical education or a trainer to exercise safely and effectively.
How to work on endurance?
Endurance is the ability of our body to exert effort for an extended period of time without feeling severe fatigue. It's not about running marathons, but about, to be able to actively and energetically function throughout the day.

Frequency: Regularity is key. It's best to exercise several times a week.
Pace: Choose a moderate pace to start with, which you can gradually increase.
Duration: Start with shorter units of time and gradually increase them. You don't have to immediately run for an hour - start with 15 minutes.
Rest: Remember the recovery days. Muscles need time to recover from the exercise.
Nutrition and Hydration: Take care of a balanced diet and remember to drink water, especially before, during and after your workout.

Type of Exercises: Sprints, jumps, coordination ladder exercises or interval training are all good ways to improve speed.
Frequency: 2-3 speed workouts per week is a good start.
Intensity: Exercises should be performed with full commitment, but for short periods of time.
Rest: Intervals are necessary between series of exercises to allow the muscles to recover.
Technique: Pay attention to how you perform the exercises - correct technique is essential.
Warm-up and Stretching: Before speed training, it's important to have a solid warm-up, and stretching after training.
REMEMBER! Speed is not just "running as fast as possible." It is also reaction speed, i.e. the ability to react instantly and effectively to different situations. And as always, it's a good idea to consult your physical education teacher or trainer to practice safely and effectively.

MOBILE APPLICATION
Telemetry technology
The Sport Super Power project with SVT technology is the ideal solution to respond to the coming trend of hyper-personalization.
Intelligent applications and sensors that monitor people/employees' body parameters in real time will inform, through a third-party application, about daily physical activity needs, so that trainers, with the support of AI, will create a workout that responds to a students individual health needs and preferences.
Coming soon
Testing methodology
The Sport Super Power is a set of physical exercises within the main motor characteristics, so that any school regardless of location and number of students can regularly and reliably monitor the level of physical activity of its students.
What is the step-by-step test of sports fitness and aptitude?
1
Physical fitness tests checking the level of main motor characteristics (tests to be carried out at schools and universities / ultimately also available an online/real-time version)
2
Individual and group report (detailed analysis of the results) - as part of the report everyone receive their sport index - a number defining the general level of efficency
3
Recommendation of sports disciplines: The fitness test enables individual selection of recommended disciplines resulting from natural predispositions and the current level of physical fitness
4
Recommendation of exercices thanks to which each student will receive a tool for regular work on improving their level of motor skills and sport index
5
Real time cyclical test: Ability to repeat tests cyclically from anywhere and anytime, thanks to the use of telemetry technology
Project goals
The overall goal of the project is to encourage students to lead active lifestyles by discovering their INDIVIDUAL POTENTIAL - SPORTS SUPER POWER - which will become the base and driving force in the area of improving physical fitness, health and mental health, as well as their personal weapon and ticket to social integration.
Finding a natural predisposition, a strength (super power) is an important part of building awareness among young people in the area of psycho-physical correlation, and building self-confidence, including health prevention. At the same time, the project shows the capacity of sports, where everyone can find their place.
Long term vision
The long term vision of the Sport Super Power is:
Global Sports Service
Creating a global, universal sports service that will provide the same data on the fitness level of the population.
Health Care Prevention
Creating a sports service that, through the use of AI and ML, will be an effective tool for preventive health care.
Hyper Personalisation
Creating a sports service that will address the bigges gap in the market: a sports benefit that on the one hand will provide a hyper personalized, effective and attractive service regardless of the sports level, and on the other hand will be easy to implement regardless of the size of the school, the number of students and the dispersion of youth through the use of AI and ML.
Data Research
Creation of a service that will be scalable and usable in the same format in different social groups (adults - health preven-tion, motivation for regular activity/ children and adolescents - inspiration for sports, search for young talents and cooperation with sports clubs).
