Baseline data is essential for individual exercise prescriptions. The development of proper strength and conditioning programs is based on the scientific evidence gathered through quantitative fitness assessments.

​

Appropriately selecting and administering tests, interpreting results from assessment, and understanding their results are all important to appropriately designing your program.

​

A Client evaluation needs to be interpreted in relation to a number of factors, including body size, injury history, and training status.

​

The selection of a testing battery is based on the relevance of each particular component of fitness. A typical testing battery may include tests for the upper and lower body, assessments for balance, cardiorespiratory endurance, body composition, and flexibility.

​

Once testing is completed, the information obtained must be communicated to you, the client. Post-training results are compared to pre-training results to evaluate progress in the conditioning program.
