ProForm Fitness Testing

Proform Fitness Testing is a mobile company based in Limerick with the objective of bringing quality fitness testing to team sport athletes in the Limerick, Tipperary and Clare regions. We are willing to travel to local clubs or community halls to conduct our battery of fitness tests. A club must simply designate a suitable indoor hall and a mutually agreeable time can be decided upon. The fact we are prepared to travel affords convenience and accessibility to sporting clubs. It alleviates a club’s transport costs and times and lessens the probability of work time constraints.

Our package consists of 5 of the following distinct tests assessing different critical components of fitness.

These include
• The countermovement jump which gauges lower body explosive power. This is tested on a Chronojump Mat (3 trials).
• A 15/20 meter sprint/acceleration test using Brower Speed Gates and Timer. (3 trials)
• 5-10-5 Agility test using Brower Speed Gates and Timer (2 trials on left leg and 2 trials on right leg)
• 20 meter shuttle run using cones and pre-recorded CD to test aerobic capacity.
• 150 meter Anaerobic Shuttle run using sets of cones (6 trials with an accumulative score).
• Maximum push-up test which measures upper body local muscular endurance.

Other fitness tests can be facilitated upon request.

Each player/athlete will be screened using a Participation Questionnaire. Body Measurements such as height/weight/BMI will be recorded prior to each testing session.

Following each testing session all results will be collated and graphic eye-catching charts will be designed based on each test demonstrating individual player scores in comparison to all team mates, a team average and established norms. These will be colour coded in other to categorise each player.
Within 4 days of tests a power point presentation will be sent to the clubs with a brief cover page including club, date, time and venue, player results and also a brief commentary page highlighting areas in need of improvement and key suggestions.
