Pre Season testing was taken out on the Pro Plymouth Raiders and also the Student Raiders. These tests were to see new and old players fitness levels after time off from training (summer). Tests data will also be used to base players training programmes on, strength and conditioning programmes for example. These test can also be used as a comparison for a player returning to play from on injury.
The following are the tests taken out:
Height, Weight, BF% & Muscle Mass
Isokinetic Dynamometer
Postural Assessment
SCAT Test
Agility – Forward Sprints, Low side Step and Backwards Running.
Vertical Jump
Beep Test
The Raiders had a lot of fun taking out these test together and showed a lot of support for one another, the test day ran very smoothly and was a very interesting opportunity for me to be a part of.
