We Tried the Premier League Fitness Test - Can We Make It Pro?

[@abhishektodmal1914]

Love the effort, Coach! :)

[@elizabethtaylor4201]

Great methods of testing Sam, interesting stuff. It was great to see the tests in action and how to do them properly.

[@PrecisionAthletica]

Glad you like it!

[@athletemktg8608]

This is awesome, love it! Solid effort from the coach...

[@PrecisionAthletica]

Thanks! Was fun to go through the testing - Sam put in a solid effort.

that's at sydney olympic park

Lucas moura's pushup form was woeful

[@linuspiontek2481]

It's part of the FMS (Functional Movement Screening) test battery. It's not a classic push-up. I think it's called "Trunk stability test" or something like that anyway. The aim of it is to assess how well the athlete can recruit the core muscles to not over-extend in the spine

[@robinjohn9632]

Thanks for the information

[@dzejkob_coach4817]

Great stuff ! how about the average values ? Where did you get it ?

[@SohamChetanGandhi]

Hi do you have a source for your premier league average values you've mentioned in the video? thanks

[@maurotesta59]

Hi, my questions are; why develop tests that require performance when we don't know if from a biomechanical/morphological point of view there is something that prevents it? (e.g. alterations in the length of the lower limbs or functional limitations, altered muscle rigidity, muscle imbalances, etc.). Furthermore, why not try to develop tests that respect the specific sport gesture (in which sport you jump like in the squat jump and rarely in football you run in line, or change direction by 180°) and the performance model (shoe field used in sports practice or calculate Vo2 on a treadmill that cannot reproduce real running)? Don't you also think (this is my concern) that we are collecting data that is not a photo of our athlete? and they cannot be since we involve muscles different from those that the athlete then uses on the pitch, just compare the tests shown with the videos of what the athletes do on the pitch. Thanks for your answer.

Mate level 9:8, what happened 😂 great video nonetheless!!!!

[@lnedelcu66]

Hi, great job , you look in good shape. At 13.9 Beep Test the VO2mx is almost 60, at VO2max avg you put on screen 65-75, so what is the avg value, between 65 and 60 it is a big difference?

[@nightmare3564]

Hey if i work hard my physiquly all the year im 18 can i can have the premier ligue fitness level

[@PrecisionAthletica]

It's going to vary person to person as well as your starting point, bit training in the right way for an extended period will definitely result in big benefits for you! Are you a footballer?

[@nightmare3564]

@@PrecisionAthletica yes

[@PrecisionAthletica]

@@nightmare3564 Great, good luck!

[@juliealexander2583]

Great effort!! Do you know the source of the normative data? Thank you.

[@PrecisionAthletica]

Thanks Julie. The data came from a range of places, lot's of reading of papers and watching of various club and league videos. It's a good guide and indicative however it's not all from say one paper released via the league or a club.

[@freezingadventurer7607]

instead of the beep test didn’t they do the 2.4km run or the Yo-Yo test

[@PrecisionAthletica]

High chance that clubs vary what they do, hope you take this as a good guide and interesting insight though! Thanks for the various comments, love hearing from people.

[@ok_e3w]

Could I ask something? Do you think I could be scouted for top teams if I play D1 soccer when I go to college/university and what do you think my chances are?

[@tzortzkawaz6892]

If you keep improving without stoping u have a bright future.

[@ok_e3w]

@@tzortzkawaz6892 I will keep that in mind my man, thx

[@freezingadventurer7607]

I think the changed the beep test for the yo yo test

[@PrecisionAthletica]

It's possible, we tried to research and come up with the best we could. Highly expect each club will do variations though. Thanks for watching and commenting. Are you a footballer or big fan?

[@dineshkarthick8037]

For the plank, you are suppose to place your forearms parallel to each other instead of interlocking your wrists.

[@aaron1069]

terrible push ups

[@MMAFotball]

Haha
