Athletic Profile
66. The athletic profile is:
a. Group of test results related to sport-specific abilities that are important for quality performance in a sport or sport position
67. When evaluating athletes, the strength and conditioning professional should follow these six steps:
-Select tests that will measure the specific parameters most closely related to the physical characteristics of the sport or sports in question.

-Choose valid and reliable tests to measure these parameters

-Administer the test battery with as many athletes as possible
-Determine the smallest worthwhile change for the tests and compare to normative data where appropriate
-Conduct repeat testing and use the results to present a visual profile with figures
-Use the results of the testing in some meaningful way
