Field Tests and Their Correlation With Injury and Performance

Field tests are convenient, simple tests that serve as estimates of components of athletic
performance like power speed, and agility. It is thought clinically, that those who do best
at these tests will perform the best in their sport and/or be the least likely to get
injured. The converse is also thought to be true. The objective of this study is to
administer field tests to athletes at the beginning of each season and then follow athletes
over several years, tracking their injuries and their performance statistics. In this way,
the investigators can determine if the clinical supposition is true and that the results of
field tests are associated with injury or performance
