Sports-Specific Fitness Testing
Fitness testing could be classed as the first stage of a training plan.
Regular testing can improve athlete motivation, assess strengths and
weaknesses and provide an integral benchmark of progression. However, it

to validate results.
This workshop will teach you how to:
• Perform a range of basic fitness tests to assess athletes strengths and
areas for improvements
• Interpret and assess results in relation to normative data to establish
effective programme design
• Evaluate the validity and reliability of the tests
• Assess which tests are most appropriate to perform according to the needs
of the sport / athlete
After attending this workshop you will have gained an insight into the
methods and advantages of fitness testing.
This practical-based workshop is geared towards athletes and coaches of team
and court sports, and lasts 3 hours. All candidates will receive workshop
notes and a certificate of attendance.
Cost: £59 per person (concessions for full squads can be negotiated)
