Modified Calf Raise Capacity Test Toolkit
The Modified Calf Raise Capacity Test Toolkit, developed with Romain Tourillon, gives you a practical and evidence-based way to assess calf and midfoot lever capacity in the field. The test protocol is driven by current research, tightly standardised to control technique and compensation, and supported by clear setup guidance and scoring criteria. Anchored by normative benchmarks, the toolkit helps you move beyond simple repetition counts and translate calf capacity scores into meaningful clinical and performance decisions
Soleus (Seated Calf) Strength Test Toolkit
The seated soleus isometric strength test toolkit, developed with Dr Romain Tourillion, gives you a practical and evidence-based way to assess the plantarflexor profile of the soleus. The set-up is driven by research, supported by simple check-sheets, and anchored by clear benchmarks that help you translate raw force scores into targeted interventions.
First Ray Foot Strength Testing Toolkit
Dr Romain Tourillon's Foot-Ankle First Ray Foot Strength Testing Toolkit provides a practical, evidence-based method for assessing the foot and ankle complex using dynamometry. Focused on the metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPj) it delivers reliable, objective data to replace generic testing and remove the guesswork from decision-making. Research-driven set-ups, check-sheets, and clear benchmarks help link raw force scores to targeted interventions.
Invertors/Evertors & Dorsiflexor Strength Testing Toolkit
Dr Romain Tourillon's Foot-Ankle Inversion/Eversion & Dorsiflexor Strength Testing Toolkit provides a practical, evidence-based method for assessing the foot and ankle complex using dynamometry. Focused on the invertors, evertors, and dorsiflexors, it delivers reliable, objective data to replace generic testing and remove the guesswork from decision-making. Research-driven set-ups, check-sheets, and clear benchmarks help link raw force scores to targeted interventions.
5-2-180 Change of Direction Test Toolkit
Anthony Turner's 5-2-180 COD Toolkit turns a single 15 m shuttle with two 180° turns into a complete audit of an athlete’s braking and COD capacity. Research-backed set-up guides and video check-sheets keep the test reliable and repeatable, while clear benchmarks turn raw kinematics into specific COD training information
Anaerobic Speed Reserve Toolkit
The Sportsmith Anaerobic Speed Reserve (ASR) Toolkit offers a simple and reliable way to profile an athlete’s "conditioning" qualities in the field. Built on research-driven methods, it shows you exactly how to measure and track anaerobic speed reserve step-by-step. With clear instructions and benchmarks, it helps coaches run accurate, consistent tests and apply the results directly to training.
S-MAS toolkit
The Sportsmith Sprint Mechanics Assessment Score (S-MAS) Toolkit provides a practical, in-field screening tool to assess and enhance sprint technique with objective, research-backed criteria. This toolkit walks you through a step-by-step approach to video-based sprint analysis, ensuring accurate and repeatable assessments with clear benchmarks.
The S.H.I.T recovery framework
Choosing the most appropriate recovery method(s) for our athletes can be very individual. But what if we had a framework that helped us choose the method that was going to give us the biggest benefit based on what the athlete was feeling. Enter the S.H.I.T recovery framework from Peter Tierney.
Understanding acceleration in team sports
It may be easy to find out how fast an athlete accelerates, but how can we get a more detailed assessment? Then how can we use that information to guide gym based interventions and technical development? This cheat sheet will help you understand this process
Eccentric loading and progressions
How can we decipher all the information available on eccentric training and create a programme? This cheat sheet helps you to do that by showing each method of training followed by recommended reps, sets and exercise examples, plus the adaptations your athletes will get from each method
Resisted sprinting loading guidelines
Resisted sprinting is one of the most potent ways to improve acceleration. But how do you load effectively and safely to get the stimulus you want? This cheat sheet gives you loading, speed targets to focus on different qualities and sample sessions.
Isometric loading prescription table
Isometric strength training has a number of benefits which compliment traditional strength training. But how can we programme the different types of isometrics effectively. In this cheat sheet we give you the loads, reps, sets and expected adaptations with each method.
Weightlifting derivatives prescription table
There are many weightlifting derivatives to choose from, all sitting somewhere on the force-velocity curve. But which derivative produces what adaptation. This cheat sheet breaks that down for you, showing percentage of 1RM, example cues and the expected adaptations.
Ankle iso-push exercise setup
The ankle iso-push is one of the staple exercises of run-specific isometric training. But how do you set up effectively get the most out of it. Leaning on the expertise of Alex Natera, this cheat sheet gives you the exact set up to use with your athletes for this exercise
Hip iso-push exercise setup
The hip iso-push is one of the staple exercises of run-specific isometric training. But how do you set up effectively get the most out of it. Leaning on the expertise of Alex Natera, this cheat sheet gives you the exact set up to use with your athletes for this exercise
