The testing numbers that can be most effective in helping athletes get a gauge for where they stand can be the basics such as sprint speed, vertical/broad jumps, agility runs, and strength tests such as the bench press.
Once these tests are are performed, a proper training program can be built around the results of the tests, and the specific sport you are training for. Here are some suggestions to follow:
- Make sure the tests you perform are applicable to your sport
- Test one drill per skill (one sprint, a vertical jum, an agility drill, a strength drill)
- Be as accurate as possible when recording you results
- Test before you start a program, and about 4-6 weeks later
SPARQ Training has a great set of testing protocols to follow that are extrememly sports specific at SPARQTraining.com.
Good luck!
