ADP Performance Testing Day!

Thursday 4th March was our bi-annual ADP Performance Testing Day!

All student athletes involved in the ADP underwent a battery of performance tests including:

- Anthropometry - height, arm span + hand span- Vertical Jump (power)- 5m, 10m + 20m Sprint (speed)- 5-10-5 Agility Dash (agility/speed)- Max. Push-ups (upper body strength/endurance)- Nordboard (eccentric hamstring strength)- Med Ball Throw (upper body power)- Yo-yo test (endurance)

Our ADP testing days are always a wonderfully insightful experience for students athletes to see what it's like to be an elite athlete.  Furthermore, the data obtained from the testing helps athletes and coaches gain information on students strengths, weaknesses or any underlying dysfunctions.  The testing information, combined with the biomechanical screening, injury histories and S.M.A.R.T goal setting is used to guide the development of the individualised training programs for each student athlete in the ADP. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and valuable day with both our senior group (pic 1) and our junior group (pic 2) proving that they are real contenders athletically.  Even more pleasing, was the professional conduct and encouragement student displayed towards one another. 

A big congratulations to all our courageous students involved in the testing and special thanks to our amazing ADP coaches and the team from Core Advantage Athletic Development who assisted on the day.
