APB reveals relationships among physical qualities that underpin sport performance.

Do physical qualities limit performance?
By integrating results across multiple exercises, APB reveals relationships among physical qualities that cannot be identified from any single test.
Calculate the APB Index to identify the current physical profile.

APB (Athletic Physical Benchmark) is an index derived from the results of seven key exercises.

By combining results from multiple exercises, APB captures the physical profile that cannot be identified from any single test in isolation.

• APB is grounded in established training principles and exercise science.
• Each result is normalized to body weight and integrated to form a physical profile.
• The goal is not to maximize individual scores, but to determine the level at which physical qualities are less likely to limit performance.
• Each physical quality has an appropriate range, and the combination of these ranges creates the APB Index.

• The APB Index is a seven-digit score, with each digit representing the result of one specific exercise.
• Scores range from 0 to 5.
• A score of 3 represents the baseline threshold generally required for competitive sport performance with minimal physical limitations.
• The appropriate score for each component varies depending on the demands of the sport, position, and individual role.
