Pro Agility Shuttle (5-10-5)

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To test the athlete's ability to change directions at speed. It measures agility, including acceleration, deceleration, and neuromuscular control.

StarStarStarStar

Shoulder Mobility Test

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To assess bilateral shoulder range of motion, combining internal rotation with adduction and external rotation with abduction. It indicates shoulder flexibility, scapular mobility, and thoracic spine extension.

StarStarStarStar

Illinois Agility Test

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To assess the athlete’s speed, agility, and change-of-direction capabilities. It's indicative of the athlete's ability to perform complex movements with speed and precision.

StarStarStarStar

In-Line Lunge

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To assess lower body strength, flexibility, balance, and control. It also evaluates the stability and mobility of the ankles, knees, and hips. The test highlights asymmetries in movement that can indicate risk of injury.

StarStarStarStar

Active Straight Leg Raise

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To evaluate active hamstring and gastrocnemius flexibility while maintaining a stable pelvis. This test reveals asymmetries in hip flexion range of motion and potential issues in the pelvic girdle.

StarStarStarStar

Standing Long Jump

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To assess lower body strength and power. It can indicate an athlete's explosive power and also reveal any significant left-to-right imbalances in leg strength.

StarStarStarStar

Vertical Jump

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To measure lower body power output, specifically strength and explosive capabilities. It indicates the athlete's ability to produce power vertically and can be used for talent identification.

StarStarStarStar

300-Yard Shuttle Run

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To evaluate anaerobic capacity, which is essential for sports that require repetitive bursts of high-intensity activity. It also identifies the athlete's ability to recover during short rest periods.

StarStarStarStar

T-Test

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To evaluate an athlete’s agility, including speed, lateral movement, and coordination. It helps determine an athlete's ability to change direction effectively.

StarStarStarStar

Deep Squat

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To assess bilateral, symmetrical, and functional mobility of the hips, knees, and ankles. The test can reveal compensatory movement patterns, muscle imbalances and joint limitations.

StarStarStarStar

Single-Leg Squat

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To evaluate lower extremity strength, balance, and coordination. It specifically looks for differences between the left and right sides which could indicate unilateral weaknesses or imbalances.

StarStarStarStar

Overhead Squat Assessment

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To assess dynamic flexibility, core strength, balance, and overall neuromuscular control. It reveals potential compensations, imbalances, and weaknesses in the athlete's movement pattern.

StarStarStarStar

Hurdle Step Test

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To examine stepping and stride mechanics, which are important for identifying bilateral functional mobility and stability of the hips, knees, and ankles. It highlights muscle imbalances and mobility issues.

StarStarStarStar

Seated Medicine Ball Throw

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To assess upper body explosive power. This test is useful in revealing the athlete's ability to generate force from the upper body when the lower body is not able to contribute.

StarStarStarStar

Y Balance Test

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To measure an athlete’s risk for injury by testing balance and reaching ability on one leg in multiple directions. It can shed light on proprioception, strength, and coordination.

StarStarStarStar

Trunk Stability Push-Up

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To evaluate trunk stability in the sagittal plane while a symmetrical upper-extremity motion is performed. It reveals core strength and the ability to stabilize the spine.

StarStarStarStar

Rotary Stability Test

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To examine multi-planar trunk stability during combined upper and lower extremity motion. It helps in identifying deficits in neuromuscular coordination and core stability.

StarStarStarStar

10-Yard Sprint

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To assess acceleration and sprinting speed over a short distance. It can reveal an athlete's quickness and efficiency in start-up speed.

StarStarStarStar

Balance Error Scoring System (BESS)

StarStarStarStar

Purpose: To assess static postural stability and balance by counting the number of errors an athlete makes while holding different positions. It is used to identify balance issues that might affect performance or indicate a risk for injury.
