Basic Movement Patterns
Basic exercise movement patterns are exercise classifications that are the foundations of exercise selection.
Force-Velocity Profiling
Force-velocity profiling allows coaches to tailor specific programmes for their athletes by using detailed, objective information.
Monitoring Fatigue
Actively monitoring fatigue levels in athletes can provide the feedback needed to adjust training in order to improve overall performance.
Force-Vector Training
The force-vector theory allows coaches to identify training exercises which may have greater specificity to the competition movements.
Squat Jump
The squat jump is a simple, practical and very reliable measure of lower-body power, and is used widely by coaches and sports scientists.
Velocity-Based Training
Velocity-based training is simply a method of training which uses a piece of technology to track the movement speed of the exercise.

Coaching Cues
Every coach uses coaching cues, and different cues can have a big impact, but very few coaches give them a second thought.
Dynamic Strength Index
The dynamic strength index can show if an athlete requires maximal strength training, ballistic strength training, or concurrent training.
Plyometric Training
Plyometrics are often used to bridge the gap between strength and speed, and are a potent training method for enhancing athletic performance.
Star Excursion Balance Test
The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a simple, but time intensive, test used to measure dynamic balance/dynamic postural control.
Y Balance Test™
The Y Balance Test is a simple, reliable test used to measure dynamic balance and was developed to simplify the Star Excursion Balance Test.

Maximal Aerobic Speed (MAS)
Maximal aerobic speed (MAS) is the lowest running speed at which VO2 max occurs, and is typically referred to as the ‘velocity at VO2 max’.

30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test
The 30-15 IFT measures aerobic and anaerobic capacity, change of direction qualities, and ability to recover during intermittent exercise.
