Who usually books 30 Minute Footballer Fitness Testing
- Players preparing for pre-season or returning after a break.

How the 30-minute fitness testing session runs
- First few minutes: quick check-in and warm-up guidance.
- Main block: you complete the selected tests with short recovery so results stay meaningful.
- Final minutes: quick debrief on strengths, gaps, and what to work on next.
After the test: using your scores to plan training
Use the results to set a starting point, then re-test at regular intervals to see what is improving. Many footballers re-test every 6 to 8 weeks, or after a training block, to confirm the work is translating into measurable change. If you are returning to training, your scores can also help you pace the step up in intensity.
