PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING.
OYM Performance Engineering is an integrated approach, where interdisciplinary teams work together in a coordinated way. The goal is to maximize an athlete's individual athletic potential by applying our four competencies: OYM Athletic Training, OYM Athlete Health Management, OYM Nutrition and OYM Scientific Testing. The program is customized to align with each athlete‘s annual season, with athletes spending between 16 and 42 weeks per year at OYM, depending on their sport.
OYM ATHLETIC TRAINING.
At OYM, our mission is to fully and sustainably unleash each athlete's individual athletic potential by maximizing and maintaining their functional capacities. We provide our athletes with our expertise, which is always up-to-date with the latest research findings, to ensure their success. OYM Athletic Training leverages personalized, cutting-edge training methods and technologies. Every athlete undergoes a tailored, cyclical process of analysis, training, adaptation, and performance enhancement, ensuring continuous progress. The focus is always on delivering tangible, real-world results.
ATHLETES POWERED
BY SCIENCE.
What makes OYM unique is the close integration and interaction of the four core competencies: OYM Athletic Training, OYM Athlete Health Management, OYM Nutrition and OYM Research & Development. Discover more by choosing the respective core competence.
NUTRIENTS FOR SUCCESS.
The focus of the innovative OYM Nutrition concept is on optimizing training-induced adaptation processes, maximizing competitive performance, and increasing and maintaining long-term health. All scientists and cooks address the question of quality and preparation of food with a goal-oriented approach. For this, all aspects of quantity, type and timing of nutrient intake are taken into account. The result is OYM Nutrition – cuisine personalized for the individual needs of the athlete with optimal, timely nutrient intake.
FIT FOR LONGER, HEALTHY FASTER.
OYM empowers athletes to be as successful as possible for as long as possible and to maintain good health beyond their athletic careers. To achieve this, OYM offers a unique, three-level Athlete Health Management System for athletes to remain injury-free and competitive in the long-term at the highest levels of athletic performance. At the first level, the prevention of injuries is the main focus. The secondary level consists of acute measures that allow for safe participation regardless of existing functional restrictions or compromised activity. The tertiary level includes all rehabilitative measures for the restoration of physical function. The goal here is a timely, safe and sustainable return to sport after injuries.
ADVANCING WITH SCIENCE.
OYM Research & Development strives for an effective, time-efficient, sustainable and reproducible performance increase for athletes. This requires a deep understanding of the interactions between training, nutrition, predisposing factors and athletic performance. These interactions are complex and must be broken down for each athlete individually. That's why OYM experts integrate innovative methods from a variety of scientific disciplines to generate scientifically valid and reproducible test, training, therapy and nutrition data. This information is then combined with the individual performance data during competitions and analyzed and interpreted using data science methods. As a result, algorithms for optimum training and nutrition processes as well as personalized training, nutrition and rehabilitation methods are developed.
SYSTEM-BASED ATHLETIC PERFECTION.
The goal of OYM is to fully and sustainably develop the athlete’s individual athletic potential by maximizing and maintaining their underlying functional capacities. OYM Athletic Training uses personalized, highly effective and safe training methods and technologies. All OYM athletes undergo an iterative process that's tailored to their own personal characteristics and uses a unique system. The revolving process consists of analysis, training, adaptation and athletic performance improvement. We always focus on the athlete as a person and their practical benefits as an athlete. We make our know-how available to our athletes and ensure that it's always up to date with the latest scientific research and knowledge.
OYM RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT.
Advantage through science: OYM R&D aims for sustainable performance improvement of athletes. The key to achieving this is a deep understanding of the interactions between training, nutrition, individual conditions, and athletic performance. These interactions are complex and must be analyzed individually for each athlete. To achieve this, OYM experts apply innovative methods to capture scientifically valid and reproducible data on testing, training, therapy, and nutrition.
OYM NUTRITION.
The focus of the innovative OYM nutrition concept is on optimizing all training-induced adaptation processes, maximizing competitive performance, and enhancing and maintaining long-term health. Our team of scientists and chefs work together with a clear goal in mind: to ensure the quality and preparation of food. Every aspect as quantity, type, and timing of nutrient intake is carefully considered. The result is OYM Nutrition: A culinary experience tailored to the individual needs of each athlete.
OYM ATHLETE HEALTH MANAGEMENT.
OYM empowers athletes to achieve long-term success in their discipline while maintaining their health beyond their sports careers. For this reason, the three-tiered OYM Athlete Health Management system encompasses all methods to remain as injury-free as possible at the highest level of competition. The primary level focuses on injury prevention. The secondary level consists of immediate measures that allow for safe participation despite existing functional or activity limitations. The tertiary level includes all rehabilitation therapies designed to restore physical functions.
