Flexibility tests

We use tests to provide essential information about the effectiveness of our training programs.

There are various categories of tests, the main ones being:

Flexibility
Strength
Power
General fitness
Body/Agility test
General running

Tests are used at various points in the training cycle, including:

At the start of training, to provide a baseline
During training to monitor the ongoing effectiveness
Before a big event to assess readiness

The information gained allows coaches to make changes and monitor if these changes are having the desired effect.
