[@wyattcarlson7504]

It always amazes me how many different tests there are for the different performance indicators like agility and flexibility. You named a few in the video that I have not heard of a lot before.

[@macynunez4455]

Cool to dive into the examples of each factor of testing that we can use to analyze where athletes are at and adjust as needed!

[@jadenrea1109]

This video was helpful in explaining all the different factors that go into each test and was helpful in covering all the common types of tests for certain parameters of physical fitness. All the examples you incorporated from different sports and different types of athletes help clarify which test best for what type of athlete/sport.

[@kelli-lynroche8446]

This video was helpful for knowing the different types of tests to perform for specific athletes.

[@DevanneyBoyd]

This was a helpful summary of different sports performance testing parameters.

[@emilywalker9462]

This video was so fascinating and I appreciate how detailed you were in describing factors and considerations that go into testing. I love how you get to think outside of the box and cater or adjust to each athletes unique needs.

[@julianasum8481]

This video was helped me understand how to choose sport specific tests for performance testing purposes.

[@lucamarin8565]

This video made me realize how much a neglect balance work in my own training

[@MatthewDuPrey325]

I felt that going into the different types of tests was very useful for me because I am obviously still learning so learning about all the different types of tests was helpful.

[@Adam.gates_]

I never even thought that body composition and body measurements would be included in sport testing!

[@BrianaReynoso]

I found it very helpful to dig deeper into these tests especially because I’m not very familiar with most of them!

[@matthewwadley4348]

The differences between both anaerobic and aerobic capacities were fun to compare and contrast with.

[@madelinejewelnebril2871]

I liked how each test was explained to understand how it fits into their categories.

[@braedenmoore3743]

There are so many more different types of tests than I thought for each category. Thanks for going through each of these.

[@charmenatchison]

I just LOVE learning this stuff! I think I want to go all the way with this education.

[@lamarcusgrayson8923]

I feel the Margaria-Kalamon Stair Test would be appropriate for tactical athletes like firefighters, police, and the military.

[@kylesands9693]

I like the idea of testing speed and agility separately! These various categories of tests can all be useful in the right situations.

[@jakegonzales1367]

Thank you fro explainging the importance of ones body composition and how it is key in how you try and test athletes. Thank you for going over this.

[@celinegriffin3244]

I like how you showed that there were so many different types of tests for each selected test protocol as well as giving an example!

[@jupshaw]

Love how this video explains the in-depth characteristics of each factor going into sport performance testing. This will certainly help me structure my programming around what adaptation I am looking to elicit

[@jackmalone2757]

So many different things to test for and so many different types of test for each category, thank you for breaking this all down and giving example sin this video!

[@audreyoates3242]

Thank you for showing all the different types of tests for each protocol!

[@willhopkins4197]

I really like how many examples you gave for each category. I thought there were a limited number of tests for each category of performance, but you definitely changed my mind!

[@moirabryson5042]

I really like how you explained each aspect of what the tests are covering and how those tests applied to the specific concept. Thank you!

[@morganrolleri9198]

This video was great, thank you! I appreciated how many examples you gave and how well you explained each test.

[@torilucht5871]

The visual examples provided for each exercise was incredible helpful to see how they should be performed! These tester are a great way to assess strength and agility.

[@chynnakifer1218]

I have never heard of the Margaria-Kalaman Stair test before so it was interesting to learn that it can be used to determine high speed strength! Thank you for the video!

[@cameransherwood5157]

I think its so cool youre able to provide so many examples of different testing for different variables. Feel as if most people just think there's one way to test something when in reality there's a plethora and they should all be utilized!

[@hannahb872]

I didn't know there was such a variety of tests to measure maximums forms (in speed, strength, etc), cool to know that military physical testing is within muscular physical endurance (anaerobic capacity).

[@dereklinck2672]

Awesome lecture on the different types of testing agents and the sport-specific results they can benefit an athlete. This lecture shows that there is a plethora of tests that can be done for virtually any kind of improvement.

[@jakegellatly8261]

Balance testing is a type of testing that I definitely did not know much about before watching this video!

[@DeepakYadav-dc5hw]

Thank you so much Sir! For sharing these important information.

[@neumannjosh]

Great video!!! Thank you for making/posting these!

[@DrJacobGoodin]

More to come!

[@thelmasepulveda4481]

The explanation of each different performance test was really helpful to better understand each one.

[@asalhoseini]

Just wanted to let you know Dr. Goodin that I am digesting your videos. I'll be taking the test soon and Im learning an extra amount of practical experiences/examples that you're adding to it. Thank you and good luck.

[@markbisnauth3369]

Thanks Doc, you're the GOAT!

[@cjbuenviaje]

I think it is important for athletes to be aware of their body composition and primarily hydration. I think it is essential to measure this and to stress the importance of stability and balance to help prevent lower limb injury in sports. Not a lot of coaches focus on this aspect and we are seeing a lot of knee, hip, and ankle injuries

[@joyshang5670]

I liked learning the difference between the focused muscular tests versus the power output tests!

[@makennakaczmarczyk7563]

I was really interested in learning more about agility tests. It's important to include components such as anticipation to truly make the test sport or position specific.

[@makaylageorge9978]

I found it interesting to see where athletes need to spend more time training, thank you for sharing!

[@dimitricarrion6145]

I agree with your preference of a 1RM over a 3RM. It can be difficult to pick a weight that is truly someone's 3RM and they will probably pick something that is too light or too heavy which would not be safe.

[@alannabergherm8046]

It was interesting to learn about the ways high-speed strength can be measured, I've never heard of the Margaria-Kalaman Stair Test!

[@clairemasterson6031]

High speed vs Low speed was very interesting to learn about during this chapter.

[@tianguyen3897]

Learning about the differences between low-speed and high-speed strength was interesting.

[@brysonhashimoto2878]

I am very interested regarding speed tests and finding out the correct balance and volume when performing these tests. I feel that it is important to tests different distances in regards to a shorter-distance track and field sprinter, but we don't want the athlete to fatigue in such a state where their times get decreasingly worse.

[@khalidalbadr1329]

Thank you DR. Jacob for your contribution towards explaining these topics. If you test endurance you should test till failure. So how it is mentioned set up test (muscular endurance) is in one minute.? Regards

[@DrJacobGoodin]

You're welcome and good question! Muscular endurance can be tested to failure or for a longer duration (usually 1 minute or longer). A 1-minute rep max test can still be muscular endurance because performance is limited not by cardiovascular or force production ability, but by the muscle's ability to continually generate sufficient force.

[@bbabba2859]

great video!

[@kendaritaekwondo952]

Great content love it

[@chrisxszn6206]

Hey, these videos really help me out a lot! And I just got to chapters 14 and seen that you haven’t done 13. I was so happy when I seen this video pop up today lol! Will you be doing videos to Chapters 15 -16?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Glad they're helping! those chapters coming soon :)

[@ryanharris8481]

The Army has moved from push-ups and situps to adding in deadlifts and medicine ball throws to get a more accurate depiction of physical fitness.

[@tolitosjones3431]

He's back! You were missed

[@xmysteriousx3548]

Awesome lecture sir i have been preparing for CSCS and your videos help me a lot thanks you can you please make video on career opportunities after doing CSCS

[@DrJacobGoodin]

That's a great idea, I think I will!

[@madelinehernandez8838]

I have heard about/performed many of these different tests used in the examples. However, I have never heard of Margaria-Kalaman Stair Test.

[@caleighgarcia7792]

With the sit and reach test, I did not know that this not only tests for flexibility in the hamstrings but also within the lumbar spine.

[@saeternj]

I’m curious on how the ISAK certification would be beneficial in Olympic weightlifting!

[@ameliabrock]

It must also require a good level of people skills and organization to keep a whole team from descending into chaos if they are all testing at once

[@avajgallo]

I wonder how often coaches test their athletes because I have never experienced this!

[@alexo5190]

Unrelated question, but for sports performance, in a weight room is it necessary to have a leg press machine?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Not necessary by any means. A leg press is a great tool, but if the weight room is dedicated to sport performance, then there are a lot of other implements that should take precedence over a leg press. A belt squat would be a better use of the space, but even without it, most sport performance S&C programs make use of barbell and dumbbell squat/lunge/hinge variations for the majority of their lower body strength development

[@alexo5190]

@@DrJacobGoodin Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. If it's possible, how would I be able to see how the weight room for your classes is set up?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

@@alexo5190 Great question! I'll add it to my list of video ideas.

[@NAKMUAYACADEMY]

Very curious what tests / fitness and parameters would be good for older generation (40-65 years old)

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Mostly the same to be honest, if you have access to the equipment. However, if you're concerned about being able to hit maximum intensities without sustaining injury, you may try a load-velocity profile where you plot your bar speed at incremental loads. That way you don't have to do any rep maxes, but still have objective data to train with.

[@NAKMUAYACADEMY]

@@DrJacobGoodin thanks a lot for answering Ps do you have an insta page or an email for contact ?
