TESTING

Fitness testing plays an important role in developing athletic abilities.  Testing is used to:

• Establish baseline scores
• Set goals
• Provide progress reports to coaches and athletes
• Identify strengths and weaknesses that will guide strength and conditioning programs
• Recognize differences and similarities between athletes of the same team, of different teams, of different ages and levels, and of different sports

Assessment of athletes should incorporate a variety of tests that measure the most important abilities of the athlete's respective sport.  Additionally, the demands of the tests should correlate highly to the demands of the sport.  Common tests include:

• Aerobic/anaerobic capacity
• Strength
• Power
• Muscular endurance
• Flexibility
• Speed

What are my options?

If you are currently using the S4LPC and/or a S4LPC-approved strength and conditioning specialist, fitness testing will already be a regular part of your program.  Please feel free to discuss in more detail with your service provider and/or the Sport Performance Manager.

If you are currently training elsewhere, but are interested in having your testing done at the S4LPC, contact the Sport Performance Manager for more information.

For any additional questions, please contact Adam Decker, Sport Performance Manager by e-mail adam.decker@sportmanitoba.ca or by phone at (204) 925-5926.
