Why do we carry out these tests?

Important, please read before starting the tests.

We perform these tests to establish baseline values that clarify the starting point of the season – in terms of explosive power, speed, and aerobic capacity. These are the first parameters we will use to build the foundation of our training programme.

When beginning a week of testing, especially after a long period of rest, it is important to understand that these tests are not meant to be performed at maximum intensity. The aim is evaluative: to assess the condition you are in as you start the training cycle.

Health and physical integrity always come before peak performance, particularly in week zero, the very start of our work.
