  We present a calculation of the O(g^2,\lambda) perturbative corrections to
the coupling anisotropies of the SU(2)-Higgs model on lattices with asymmetric
lattice spacings. These corrections are obtained by a one-loop calculation
requiring the rotational invariance of the gauge and Higgs boson propagators in
the continuum limit. The coupling anisotropies are also determined from
numerical simulations of the model on appropriate lattices. The one-loop
perturbation theory and the simulation results agree with high accuracy. It is
demonstrated that rotational invariance is also restored for the static
potential determined from space-space and space-time Wilson loops.
