Sports Performance Testing - Results 

PBR South Carolina's primary focus is providing athletes who attend our events a first class experience that continues to grow by implementing additional testing beneficial to the players and the coaches/scouts recruiting them. Players who attended the Preseason I.D. on December 14th were treated to specific sports performance testing drills to gauge strength, speed, & power output. Here is our first look at the results from these test. 

WHAT WAS TESTED

60 YD Dash - The 60 yd dash is a linear measurement of straight line speed. 

Vertical Jump - vertical jump was collected using a Just Jump mat. The Just Jump mat is a contact operated system. The mat calculates vertical jump height by measuring the time that the feet are not in contact with the mat, and from this calculates explosive leg power. 

 RSI - R.S.I. or Reactive Strength Index was collected using Push Bands, a small belt with a sensor placed on the athletes lower back.  The 10-5 jump test is done by performing 10 consecutive jumps, of maximal height and minimal ground contact time with power output in recorded in Kw. 

 Pro Shuttle - The Pro Shuttle or 5-10-5 starts with 3 cones placed five yards apart. The athlete starts in the middle and must sprint to the right cone (5 yds) and touching it with his right hand, change direction and sprint back to the furthest cone (10 yds) touching it with his left hand, change direction and sprint through the finish line which is the cone where they started (5 yds). The Pro-Agility Shuttle is a great way to assess a player's quickness and ability to change directions.

Broad Jump - The Broad Jump is a simple and effective test to measure explosive leg power in athletes. The athlete starts behind the line and takes off and lands with two feet. The distance of the jump is measured to the heels.
