Dynamic correspondence is the ‘training effect’ that training programs have on athletes’ sports performance, but measuring it is difficult.
The force-velocity curve represents the relationship between force and velocity, which is vital for strength and conditioning professionals.
Understanding and monitoring Salivary Immunoglobulin A (S-IgA) can help coaches and athletes minimise illness.
The Pro-Agility (5-10-5) Test is an extremely popular protocol, but there are several glaring issues with it.
The 5-0-5 Agility Test, a commonly recognised agility test, is actually a change of direction speed (CODs) test.
The 20m Sprint Test is a reliable predictor of linear speed, but only if administrators carry out the test correctly.
The 10m Sprint Test measures an athlete’s ability to accelerate, and is often included in performance testing batteries.
The 5m Sprint Test is a simple and popular test because short-distance accelerations are common in a large variety of sports.
The Incremental Drop Jump Reactive Strength Index (DJ-RSI) Test is a valid and reliable measure of jumping ability, but is inherently flawed.
The Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test measures anaerobic power and capacity. It is simple, valid, reliable, and requires little equipment.
The Wingate Anaerobic Test has been repeatedly proven to be a valid and reliable predictor of anaerobic capacity and power.
The Multistage Fitness (Beep) Test is a continuous sub-maximal test that has become the most recognised tool for measuring aerobic power.
The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 2 is a valid and reliable predictor of high-intensity aerobic capacity and VO2 max.
The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 test is a valid and reliable predictor of high-intensity aerobic capacity and VO2 max.
