Testing Protocols for HP Dev Athletes

The High Performance development athletes have the opportunity to receive Maximum Aerobic Power (MAP) tests up 3 times per year.

The SCA will pay the fee for the MAP directly to the approved tester; athletes book their own appointments. It is suggested that athletes be tested in the Spring, during your Peak, and in the Fall. All results collected will be treated in a confidential manner. Only the athlete, the tester, your personal coach, and the Director of Elite Programs will have access to the results. The SCA Executive Director will maintain a Results spreadsheet. The intent of this testing is to provide a tool for the athlete and coach to determine training zones, individual strengths and weaknesses, and program effectiveness. The HP committee will be able to use MAP tests for monitoring athlete progress on an annual basis and eventually from year to year.
