Fitness testing
This is done to assess how good an athletes level of fitness is, across the different components.
Some people may find they are better in some areas compared to others.
There is what's known as 'normative data' which offers performers a chance to compare themselves to other people of a similar age, so they can see what their strength and weakness are in terms of fitness.
