    Sport Science Testing Consultation Disclaimer

    Members of Coventry University's Sport and Exercise Science Applied Research Group (ARG) are going to carry out a series of fitness tests to measure each player's ability to perform a variety of football specific tests. This will take place throughout the Performance Academy year (you will be told by Coerver® Coaching which session your child needs to attend). The purpose of this is to allow Coerver® Coaching to evaluate player development and personalise training programmes based on your child's individual response to each test and to help them develop your child to their full potential as a football player.

    Participation in this consultation will involve:

    All tests outlined below will be conducted whilst each child is wearing full football kit, in the presence of CRB checked coaches and investigators as well as other children. Parents are also welcome to be present throughout testing.

    Body measurements:

  • Height and body mass will be measured and body mass index (BMI) calculated.
  • Body fat will be measured at two sites (calf and tricep) with skinfold callipers and percentage body fat will be estimated using an equation specific to children and adolescents.
  • The circumference of the forearm will also be measured as an indicator of whole body muscle mass
  • Fitness tests:

  • Handgrip strength (as an index of body strength; best of three attempts)
  • Test conducted by athlete maximally squeezing the hand grip device for 5 seconds
  • Vertical Jump height: (as an index of ability to generate power)
  • A counter movement jump will be performed; the player will jump as high as they can by dropping into a squat position and springing up as high as possible whilst using the arms during one continuous movement
  • Core stability/ balance/ co-ordination (standing on a balance board)
  • Athlete will stand on a balance board (connected to a computer) and their ability to remain in a stable position will be measured for a 20 second period
  • Agility (assesses a player's skill and abilities to stop, start and change direction rapidly in a controlled manner)
  • The modified T-test assesses the player's ability to transition from forwards to lateral and backwards running over a 40m course. 5m sprint time is also measured within this test.
  • Speed (5m, 15m and 30m sprints; best of three attempts) for 11 years old and above only.
  • Athletes will run over a 30 m course in a straight line and split times for 5, 15 and 30 metres will be recorded
  • Medical Conditions

    You are required to inform Coerver® Coaching of any medical conditions your child may

    Foreseeable risks or discomfort

    It is possible that your child may experience some mild muscle soreness due to unaccustomed exercise tests. Such mild muscle soreness (aching symptoms) may last for 2-3 days after participating in the tests. An appropriate warm up will be included in the sessions to reduce the likeliness of this occurring.

    Benefits to the subject of participation

    Your child's involvement in this consultancy exercise is voluntary but will provide many benefits, such as assisting Coerver® Coaching with the development of a personalised football training programme for your child. An individual report will be written for your child by members of Coventry University's Sport and Exercise Science ARG. You will be able to track your Childs progress throughout the year (regular sessions have been agreed by Coerver® Coaching) on the Coerver® Coaching website (individual parent log in required) and you will also be able to compare your Childs results to the average values (age specific) obtained from the group of children who participated in the testing session (of the same age) as well as published normative values where available. This data will all be available to see when you log into your area of the Coerver® Coaching website and will be provided by the ARG.

    What will happen to your data

    Data/ Results will only be seen by the individuals involved with the testing on the day of the tests. Thereafter Dr. Samantha Birch, Dr. Doug Thake, Mr James Keenan and Mr Steve Fruer will be collating the data and calculating body composition/ age-group averages and will write an individual report for your child. The data will be passed onto Coerver® Coaching once the results have been collated and the individual reports written, this should take 2-3 weeks following the testing session.

    The data may also be published in scientific works, but you child's name or identity will never be revealed. Confidentiality will be maintained throughout the data analysis and storage process e.g. each child will be allocated with a number instead of using their name at all times. All data will be locked away in a secure filing cabinet and/ or coded electronic files.
