Performance Monitoring

Track Progress
Every 6 Weeks

One test tells you where your athlete is. Six weeks of data tells you if the training is working. EPP monitors sprint times, agility scores and strength metrics on a 6-week cycle — so coaches and parents always have accurate, objective data on development.

Why 6 Weeks?

The Science Behind 6-Week Testing

Six weeks is the minimum period in which meaningful, measurable physical adaptations can be detected in youth athletes. Testing too frequently (less than 4 weeks) introduces noise — day-to-day variation masks real change. Testing too infrequently (more than 8 weeks) risks missing regressions or plateaus before they become embedded.

EPP's 6-week monitoring cycle is aligned with a standard athletic development block. Each cycle covers one complete training phase, allowing coaches to directly compare athletic output against training input.

Our research data across 300+ tested athletes shows an average 15% improvement in change of direction and 3% sprint time improvement within an 8-week period for athletes on structured programmes — both measured against their own baseline.

What Changes in 6 Weeks
  • Sprint mechanics improve with coaching — measurable in 10m split times
  • Change of direction efficiency increases as deceleration patterns improve
  • Bilateral asymmetry reduces with targeted strength work
  • Ground contact time decreases as neuromuscular efficiency develops
  • Force application rate (RFD) increases with consistent plyometric training

The Testing Battery

What We Measure Every 6 Weeks

Sprint Profiling

Photon Sports timing gates at 5m, 10m and 40m. Acceleration, top speed and split times tracked across every session for direct comparison.

🔄

Change of Direction

505 and T-test protocols. COD score comparison across sessions reveals whether agility is genuinely improving or just varying day-to-day.

⚖️

Bilateral Strength

Single-leg and bilateral assessments. Asymmetry ratios tracked — a key injury risk marker that changes meaningfully in 6-week blocks.

📊

Force-Velocity Profile

Determines whether your athlete needs to train more force-based or velocity-based. Profile can shift meaningfully in 6 weeks with targeted programming.

🏃

Sprint Mechanics

Video analysis of running form. Ground contact time, stride length and flight time measured. Technique improvements are objectively captured.

📄

Written Report

Full comparison report within 48 hours. Graphs showing progress over time. Specific recommendations for the next training block based on the data.
