Functional Testing- Victoria

Helen Cheung

SOBC functional testing is a set of 18 tests used to test and track an athlete’s fitness level, exercise form, flexibility, and functional movement patterns. It is used by major sport organizations to improve athletic performance and measure athlete progress. The test is organized and run by a professional with a sport, strength and conditioning background. The entire functional testing takes approximately 1-1.5 hours and should take place every 6 months. After each functional test, athletes will be given a corrective exercise guide specifically tailored to improve their weaknesses.
Functional testing is important as a starting point for an athlete’s training. Through functional testing, we can determine any muscular imbalances an athlete may currently have that can lead to future injuries. Furthermore, we can help an athlete develop proper form for key movement patterns by assessing flaws and correcting them through the various functional tests.
It is imperative to continue attending functional testing as it allows an athlete to track their progress and learn how they can improve. There are specific strength and athletic tests that an athlete should be able to improve on each time they attend a functional test. After an athlete has attended a functional test we hope they have performed their corrective exercises and improved their weaknesses. At this point, we can start challenging the athlete by giving out harder exercises for him or her to work on.
