The Y Balance Test™ (YBT) is a simple, yet reliable, test used to measure dynamic balance and a person’s risk of injury (1). The test can be performed on both the upper and lower quarters of the body. It was developed to standardise the modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT), improve its practicality, and make it commercially
Summary. Designing a systematic, progressive, and integrated sports performance program can only be accomplished by developing an understanding of the athlete’s goals, needs, and abilities. This requires the sports performance professional to administer a battery of tests in a safe and organized fashion. Assessments can range from detailed

The Nintendo Wii Fit was released just over five years ago as a means of improving basic fitness and overall well-being. Despite this broad mission, the Wii Fit has generated specific interest in the domain of neurorehabilitation as a biobehavioral measurement and training device for balance ability. Growing interest in Wii Fit technology is likely due to the ubiquitous nature of poor balance
The FMS is a tool used to identify asymmetries which result in functional movement deficiencies. The FMS aims to identify imbalances in mobility and stability during seven fundamental movement patterns. These movement patterns are designed to provide observable performance of basic locomotor, manipulative and stabilising movements by placing an
For example, rowing is a strength endurance type of sport that needs high degree of endurance, strength, power, cordination, speed and balance. Of course it is not useful to test all those parameters always together, but in some cases it is useful. Therefore, an example of the 2 day testing battery for a rower may look the following:
Anaerobic endurance can be measured relatively easily in the laboratory using a 30 second Wingate test and, in the field, you can use a repeated sprint test. Since there is a high correlation between the speed of a single sprint test (20 meters) and repeated sprint tests (e.g. 10 x 20 m.), a single sprint test is usually sufficient. 3. Strength
Stand on your left foot and lift your right foot in front of you a few inches off of the ground. Hold for 2–3 seconds, then return to the starting position. Follow the same steps as you lift
Balance exercise is one of the four types of recommended exercise along with strength , aerobic and flexibility exercises to improve health and physical ability [5]. Balance training is undertaken in order to:* Prevent falls /injury [6] Improve standing balance and locomotor performance in older adults [9]
First, how to test your balance. Before you get started, try these three stability challenges to find out where your balance falls right now. —Test 1: Stand still with your feet lined up heel to
A fitness test, also known as a fitness assessment, comprises a series of exercises that help evaluate your overall health and physical status. A wide range of standardized tests is used for these exams, including body composition tests, cardio stress tests, endurance tests, and range of motion tests. The tests are considered the starting point

The upper quarter Y-balance test (UQ-YBT) is a screening tool to assess unilateral upper body function and mobility in a closed kinetic chain. 39 It is usually performed by having participants adopt a pushup position, with feet placed shoulder-width apart (Fig. 3 a). 40, 41 Participants are then asked to place their test hand on a stance
