Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Hamstring Strength

    Vertical jumps: The person puts chalk on their finger tips to mark the wall at the height of their jump. The person then stands away from the wall, and jumps vertically as high as possible using both arms and legs to assist in projecting the body upwards. Attempt to touch the wall at the highest point of the jump.

    8 weeks

  • Anaerobic Capacity

    SPRINT FATIGUE TEST: A repeat sprint test of anaerobic capacity consisting of ten 30-second sprints. This is an anaerobic capacity test, which measures the ability to recover between sprints while maintaining the same level of strength.

    8 weeks

  • Agility

    5-0-5 AGILITY TEST: The ability to turn 180 degrees is measured by the 505 Agility test. The test can also be modified for sport-specific testing by having the subject dribble a soccer ball, a hockey puck, or a basketball through the course.
