Title: Fitness Testing Made Easy;
Venue:
Sports Insititute of Northern Ireland @ Jordanstown (Track & Throws
Area);
Date: Wednesday 3rd November;
Time:
8pm - 9.30pm;
Summary: As our games get
ever more competitive, most, if not all coaches, look to gain any edge
possible
over the opposition. For most coaches this starts with fitness testing.
The fitness testing market has grown in the recent past, with some very
expensive options available for testing GAA teams. However, fitness
testing does not necessitate an expensive outlay on behalf of the club.
There are numerous simple, effective and inexpensive methods to fitness
test club teams.
This session will review basic principles of
fitness testing, designing a fitness testing session, demonstration of
basic tests, practicalities of testing & equipment required,
compilation, feedback and application of results.
Target
Audience: This session is open to all active club and/or county coaches,
regardless of level, code and/or age group. This particular
session is open specifically to coaches from Antrim, Down, Derry and
Armagh. Further sessions will be going ahead in Tyrone and Cavan over
the following weeks.
What to Do: This
course is provided by Ulster GAA and is free of charge. In order to get
a better idea of numbers attending it would be appreciated if you could
