Seated Shot Put Test for Upper Body Power: Full Protocol and Norms
One seated throw isolates arm power from leg drive. Get ball weight by population, exact setup, and how to read a real distance change.
Sprint Kayak 200m Anaerobic Power Test: Ergometer Protocol and Power-Curve Scoring
A strong 1000m engine won't save a paddler at the 200m start line. An ergometer protocol that scores the full power curve, start to finish, with real cutoffs.
Sprint Velocity Plateau: How to Diagnose and Fix Stalled Speed
Stuck sprint times rarely mean the athlete needs more sprints. A field protocol to find whether force, technique, or stiffness is the actual limiter.
Surfing Paddle Sprint Power Test: Measuring the Explosive Pre-Takeoff Burst on a Swim Bench
Surfing paddle sprint power isn't a 400m time trial pace, it's the last 10-second burst before takeoff. A swim-bench protocol for peak power and fade.
Ultimate Frisbee Layout Agility Test: A Cone-Course Protocol for the Diving Catch Transition
A 4.4 sprinter can still blow the layout. Get the cone-course deceleration test that measures the brake-and-redirect skill behind every diving catch.
The Eggbeater Power Test: A Water Polo Protocol for Rise Power and Hold Time
Sprint times and shot speed get tested every session. The eggbeater's rise power and hold time almost never do. A pool protocol with steps and norms.
Wheelchair Basketball Propulsion Power Test: A Rim-Torque Protocol for the 5m Sprint Start
Two players hit the same 5m split — one used far more rim torque. A stationary-start protocol that scores propulsion power by classification.
Yo-Yo IR1 Field Conditioning Test: Full Protocol and Tracking Guide
One IR1 score tells you little. Get the field setup, protocol steps, safe retest timing, and how distance trends should reshape your next conditioning block.
30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test: Full Protocol and VIFT
Running the 30-15 IFT without correct audio pacing skews VIFT. Get track setup, calculation steps, norms, and how to build intervals from your score.
Cooper 12-Minute Run Test: Protocol and VO2max Estimation
Most first-time testers blow pace by minute 7 and lose 200m. Track setup, the real VO2max formula, and age-sex norms in one field protocol.
How to Conduct the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test
Not sure whether to run IR1 or IR2? Get the audio-cue setup, sport-specific norms, and a VO2max formula so your field-test numbers actually mean something.
How to Do the Beep Test (20m Shuttle Run): VO2max Estimation
Not sure which pace to hold at each beep test level? Get the pace table, VO2max formula, position-specific norms, and scoring errors to avoid.
