Testing Youth Fitness and Sports Performance

by Coach Dave

All to often youth fitness programs assess their young athletes by measuring flexibility, strength, speed, power etc while using adult protocols including 1 rep max tests (or adjusted 1 rep max), sit and reach, shuttle runs and vertical jump…to name a few.

Watch this video to find out why this approach does NOT work when working with developing, young athletes.

I want to know your thoughts.

Til next time,
