SPARQ TESTS
Vertical Jump: (Countermovement)
Explosive power. That zero-60 stuff
they talk about in car commercials. The soccer athlete needs the first-step
explosiveness of a high-performance sports car.
The Vertical Jump tells a
bigger story than just how high you jump. It combines your weight with your
Vertical Jump height to reveal your lower-body Peak Power, which shows whether
you have the ability to throw it into overdrive and beat your opponent to the
ball, or if you're going to run out of gas.

20-Meter Sprint:
Speed is a difference-maker. Specifically, "off the
mark" speed – that instant explosion of power that propels you out in front of
your opponent so quickly, it's as if he was standing still. It'll get you on the
proper end of through-balls. It'll help you recover after a loss of
possession.
The 20-Meter Sprint measures your linear speed. The test is
simple - point A to point B - but the results tell quite a story. It's a
distance close to the average off-the-ball run, but still long enough to
discriminate the elite from the rest. The athlete who shows superior off the
mark eed is the athlete who will get to the ball, gain and maintain possession
and directly affect the outcome of the match.

Arrowhead Agility:
Agility is probably the key discriminator of playing
ability. If you can't change direction at pace and remain under control, you'll
spend a lot of time chasing the action. The game won't wait for you.
The
Arrowhead Agility test comes from several Top European Clubs and is an
outstanding measure of athletic agility assessing change of direction, postural
control and agility. Soccer athletes who have an edge in agility, have an edge
in the game.

Yo Yo Intermittant Recovery Test (YIRT):
The YIRT. What? Hear us out on
this.
When you think of endurance for soccer, think recovery
capacity.
A soccer game is made up of multiple bouts of high-intensity
exercise punctuated by brief spells of recovery. The YIRT mimics the
intermittent "start-stop-recover-start" nature of the game through a series of
shuttles paced by audible cues.
The YIRT will reveal in no uncertain
terms how quickly and consistently can your body recover from intense exercise.
If you want to learn a bit about who has the heart and guts to stick it out,
look no further.
