BASELINE
Know where you are
Establish starting values for the physical qualities relevant to your training or sport.
TESTING & PERFORMANCE
TEST. TRAIN.
RETEST.
Measure the physical qualities that matter to you, compare your results with meaningful reference data and see whether your training is actually working.
MEASURE WHAT MATTERS
Progress should be
more than a feeling.
Credo brings structured performance testing into your programme, allowing you to establish a baseline, monitor change and retest the qualities that matter to your goal or sport.
BENCHMARK
See how you compare
Where reliable published data exists, compare your performance with appropriate normative and reference datasets.
PROGRESS
Track meaningful change
Retest periodically and see whether strength, speed, power, endurance and other qualities are improving.
PROGRAMMING
Use the result
Testing is not there just to create a score. Results can help inform your future training priorities.
SPORT-SPECIFIC TESTING
Different sports.
Different demands.
A runner does not need the same testing battery as a rugby player. Credo can select tests around the qualities that actually matter to the athlete.
FOOTBALL
Speed. Power. Repeatability.
Example testing can include sprint performance, countermovement jump, change-of-direction ability, aerobic capacity and repeated high-intensity performance.
RUGBY
Strength meets performance.
Testing can combine strength, lower-body power, sprint performance, conditioning and body-mass-relative measures relevant to the demands of rugby.
BOXING
Power that lasts.
A boxing-focused battery can examine explosive power, upper and lower-body performance, repeated-effort capacity and conditioning relevant to repeated rounds.
RUNNING
Track the engine.
Test race performance, aerobic fitness, pacing and running-specific progress across distances relevant to your goal.
STRENGTH
How strong are you?
Track key lifts, estimated or tested strength, relative strength and progression over time.
POWERLIFTING
Measure the total.
Follow squat, bench press and deadlift performance, individual lift progression and strength relative to body mass.
REFERENCE & NORMATIVE DATA
Don't just get a number.
Understand it.
Where suitable published datasets exist, Credo can give performance results context by comparing them with relevant populations and performance standards.
Compare with yourself
Your most important benchmark is often your own previous performance. See exactly how you change across a programme.
Normative data
Place results against published reference ranges where appropriate data exists for the test and population.
Trained populations
Where research provides suitable data, compare against trained or sport-specific populations rather than meaningless general averages.
Elite reference points
Some measures can be placed alongside published elite or professional-level reference data to show the standards seen at higher levels of sport.
Age & sex context
Where datasets support it, comparisons can use relevant demographic groups instead of treating everyone as identical.
Evidence first
Credo only presents comparisons where appropriate, defensible reference data exists.
HOW DO YOU STACK UP?
Test yourself against
higher standards.
Reference data can give an individual result meaningful context.
When reliable published data is available, Credo can show how a result compares with values reported in professional, elite or highly trained athletes.
The aim is not to suggest every user should perform like a professional athlete. It is to show what higher levels of performance can look like.

EVIDENCE-LED TESTING
Data needs
context.
Credo's testing approach is informed by established testing methods, peer-reviewed research and appropriate reference data rather than arbitrary performance standards.
