Appropriate Tests..

Repeated Sprint

Test

Yo Yo Intermittent

Recovery


9/27

Yo Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Content

The test is based on a pre-recorded cadence thatprogressively increases eachminute of the test, requiring theathlete to progressivelyincreasing running speed over a

20-m course for as long aspossible

What does it test? Indicate individuals aerobic

capacity Ability to perform at high

intensities

Performing high intensity actionsintermittently


10/27

Repeated Sprint Test Content

Repeat 20-m maximal effort sprints 6 times with 20second recover in-between

The 20 seconds recovering consists of a walk to the startline ready to repeat the 20-m sprint

The aim is to limit the time deficiency between the first

and last sprint as much as possible

What does it test? Indicates individuals anaerobic

capacity Ability to reproduce high intensity

actions


11/27

Forceful punches toscore points or K.O.

Muscle to contractto exert force

Force Productionand Impulse

Appropriate Tests..

Medicine Ball

ThrowVertical Jumps


12/27

Vertical Jumps Content

Participants are required to perform two types of verticaljumps - Countermovement Jump (CMJ) and Squat Jump(SJ)

CMJ:Start from a standing position, quick dip of the hipsand knees accompanied by an arm swing to jump as highas possible

SJ: Start with knees flexed at 90 degrees with the femurparallel to the floor. Similar instructions are maintained inregard of hip extension, vertical jump and arm swing.

What does it test? Lower body force production Lower body impulse

Elasticity of the stretch

shortening cycle


13/27

Medicine Ball Throw Content

3kg medicine ball will be used for the test.

The participant is required to take a split stance with a

rotated trunk holding the medicine ball at shoulder level

of the same side of the rear foot with the elbows flexed

Participant throws the medicine ball as far as possible ina punching action

What does it test? Upper body and lower body

impulse

Ability to transfer forces through

the kinetic chain

Estimation of punching force

Weight Categories

Lowest body masspossible

Making weight

(body mass)Appropriate Tests..

Body Fat

Percentage

Anthropometric

Assessments


15/27

Anthropometric Profile Content

Body mass and stature are standardised procedureswithin any scientific test

The principal investigator will use skin callipers to

calculate the sum of skinfolds on 8 different sites of the

body (Triceps, Biceps, Subcapular, Iliac Crest,Supraspinale, Abdominal, Thigh and Medial Calf).

What does it test? Sum of skinfolds, along with body mass

and stature, can be used to calculatebody fat percentage.


16/27

Punching speedand evadeopponent

Repeated highvelocity actions

Acceleration

Appropriate Tests..

Push Up Test10-m Sprint


17/27

10-m Sprint Test Content

Participants will record 5- and 10-m sprint times byrunning through a series of timing gates

Participants are required to sprint maximally from a two

point stance

What does it test? Acceleration

Impulse

Transfer of forces through the kinetic

chain Ability to produce horizontal impulses

and force


18/27

Push Up Test Content

Participants are required to start with bodyweight restingon the hands and toes, with hands placed perpendicular

to the shoulder joint with arms and legs fully extended

with the trunk parallel to the floor.

Then, keeping the body straight, the participant lowers

until all of the body from the chest to the thighs contactthe floor.

Repeat the action until failure.

What does it test? Muscular endurance

Ability to reproduce forceful

actions
