Justification

1 rep max test

—The 1 rep max test gauges the athlete’s current strength level for the specific muscle group. With this knowledge the result of 1 rep max testing we can use the results to prescribe the precise weight the athlete can lift at different stages of their strength program.

Speed & Agility

—The Speed and Agility tests prescribed above should be used to test a squash  player’s speed, explosion, body control and their ability to change direction. This  is an important part of the game. With the ability to be more agile and  faster on the court it benefits the player to be more versatile in their shot selection.
