Testing measures the level of skill or knowledge that has been reached. ̶Evaluation is the process of making judgments based on criteria and evidence. ̶Assessment is the process of documenting knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs, usually in measurable terms. The goal of assessment is to make improvements, as opposed to simply being judged. In an educational context, assessment is the process of describing, collecting, recording, scoring, and interpreting information about learning.“ Adobe Systems ̶Purpose? ̶Reliability? ̶Validity? ̶Rules? ̶Order? ̶Comparison?

These findings have practical application for athletic trainers and strength and conditioning professionals tasked with conducting preseason injury risk assessments in, and developing foundational training programs for, high school athletes. The authors support the use of FMS and YBT to identify deficiencies in functional movement patterns and dynamic balance from which targeted interventions can be implemented. An important goal of a strength and conditioning program is to improve the performance of key movement patterns (i.e., adding strength, power, speed, and agility). The development of better quality in these movement patterns is crucial to the efficacy of the overal program.
