Strength Tests
1) One repetition max -- The standard strength test for all athletes.
2) Sit up test -- A good indication of core strength.
3) Press up test -- Used to test strength endurance. Speed and Power Tests
1) 30m sprint -- A simple fitness test to measure power.
2) 30m sprint fatigue -- Excellent for multisprint sports such as Basketball, soccer, hockey etc.
3) Illinois agility test -- Another great fitness test for multisprint sports.
4) Standing long jump -- A simple test to measure explosive, ultra-short term power
5) Standing Vertical jump -- The standard fitness test used to measure explosive power. Particularly relevant to basketball and volleyball.
6) Hexagon drill -- Excellent test to measure quickness, agility and balance. Endurance Tests
1) Balke 15 minute run -- A fitness test to measure aerobic power (VO2max) indirectly.
2) Cooper 12 minute run -- As above
3) Multistage shuttle run -- Also used to estimate aerobic power but more appropriate for multisprint sports. Also effective for testing large groups at a time.
4) Rockport test -- A simple walking test for less active individuals. Flexibility Tests
There are only a few reliable tests to measure flexibility. The best instrument is a goniometer (a very simple and cheap type of protractor). It can be used to measure the flexibility of most joints and the range of motion for dozens of movements.
1) Sit and reach test -- The standard flexibility test that measures lower back and hamstring flexibility.
2) trunk rotation test
3) Groin flexibility test
