Understanding Your ABB Results

Use this quick reference to learn what each test in your ABB report measures. These metrics help assess your physical capabilities, track your development, and highlight training opportunities.

Overhead Squat (OHS)

Assesses mobility, control, and coordination in a full-body movement pattern.
A low score may indicate limited range or poor stability in the hips, ankles, or shoulders.

Squat Jump (SJ)

Measures pure leg power without the help of momentum.
Performed from a static position to isolate concentric force production.

Countermovement Jump (CMJ)

Captures explosive leg power using the stretch-shortening cycle.
Involves a quick dip before jumping to assess elastic energy utilization.

Reactive Strength Index (RSI)

Evaluates how quickly and efficiently you can absorb and reapply force.
Athletes step off a box and rebound upward immediately.

Eccentric Utilization Ratio (EUR)

A ratio of CMJ to SJ height that reflects how well you use elastic energy.
Higher scores suggest greater reliance on reactive strength.

Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull (IMTP)

Measures peak force output in a static pull from an athletic position.
Provides insight into maximal strength capacity, especially in the posterior chain.

Force: Bodyweight Ratio (IMTP)

Shows how much force you produce relative to your body weight.
Helpful for understanding how strength supports speed and power.

Punch Force – Jab & Cross

Measures peak force generated on a single rear-hand (cross) and lead-hand (jab) punch.
Highlights your ability to transfer power through a strike.

Punch Endurance

Assesses how well you maintain punching power and consistency over 50 or 100 reps.
Used to monitor fatigue resistance in repeated striking.

Anaerobic Shuttle Test

Measures repeat sprint ability and recovery under high-intensity efforts.
Good indicator of conditioning for explosive, short-duration efforts.

VO₂max Estimate

Estimated from your 2400m run time.
This score reflects your aerobic capacity—how efficiently your body uses oxygen during extended effort. A key indicator of overall endurance and conditioning.

Resting Heart Rate (RHR)

Average of 3 consecutive morning readings taken while lying down at rest. Lower values generally reflect better cardiovascular conditioning and recovery status. This is best used for long-term trend monitoring.
