ETC Testing Report
Overview of testing
Developing good strength, speed, movement skill and fitness is important to
a) help you perform your skill through the whole game
b) to enable you to train harder to become a better football player.
When football skill is similar, fast, strong and powerful players who can change direction quickly are likely to perform better in a game. The best female football teams have players who consistently achieve higher fitness tests scores than other teams. The ability to sprint fast is linked to goal scoring opportunities.
The results are broken up into 5 areas:
Strength: This is broken up into overall strength - the total amount of force you can produce. And relative strength (strength divided by your body weight). Being strong can help reduce the risk of injury and help improve power. To improve this keep working hard on your strength exercises in S&C.
Power: This score is calculated from your counter-movement jump test and important for stopping and starting quickly, jumping and changing direction. To improve this work on your strength exercise in S&C and your jumping and sprinting.
Bounciness: This is calculated from your repeated jump test and is important for sprinting and changing direction quickly. To improve this work hard on your “plyometric” training in S&C (Skipping, Pogo jump, Drop jumps, Hurdle Jumps etc.)
Speed: This is taken from your sprint test. To improve work hard on your running technique in warm-ups. For u12s you should generally improve as you legs grow as long as you can co-ordinate them well.
Fitness: Your fitness score is from the 30:15 fitness test. This is will become more important as you get older. As u12s it is important to learn how to do the test well and to give it your best effort.
Maturation status
Your maturity offset estimates where you are in relation to your peak growth - this is useful information to take into account when viewing your testing scores.
Results
Your results are listed below. Your “FIFA rating” is out of 100 and allows you to compare your performance across the different tests. Any score over 60 is really high and an area of strength.
| Test | Rating | Score | Descriptor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power | 47 | 21.3 cm | Average |
| Bounciness | 38 | 0.89 m/s | Area to improve |
| Strength | 42 | 242 N | Area to improve |
| Strength_to_BW | 50 | 25 N/kg | Average |
| Speed | 34 | 3.7 s | Area to improve |
| Fitness | 49 | 17 km/hr | Average |
Your strength is improving which reflects the work you put into S&C, keep going with this. Your speed has dropped off and your “bounciness” is an area to work. This can be due to fatigue at this time of year and may well bounce back after some rest and recover in the off-season.
Your hip strength, particularly your hip abductor strength (“pushing out”) is an area to focus on. Keep working hard to develop your hip / glute strength, single leg balance and jumping and landing strength.
The grey line is average, anything above the orange line is good and above the red line is a “super strength”
