Are You Testing Your Players the Wrong Way?
A free 35-minute masterclass with Dr. Martin Buchheit. One of the world's leading applied sport scientists and co-founder of HIIT Science.
The Problem
Most coaches are making conditioning decisions based on flawed data.
Not because they lack experience or haven't done the right reading...
But because the tests used across elite sport: the 6-minute run, the YoYo, the 1km time trial, introduce far more individual error than most practitioners realise.
At the group level, they look fine.
At the individual level, they over- and underestimate fitness by margins large enough to send your prescription in the wrong direction entirely.
And if your test is off, everything built on top of it is off too.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
In this free masterclass, Martin walks through:
-
Why sport-specific fitness tests often tell you less than you think and what to use instead
-
The problem with time trials as a proxy for maximal aerobic speed, and why the data has been pointing this out for decades
-
How prescribing intervals at the same percentage of MAS produces dramatically different physiological responses across your squad
-
Why the 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test handles testing, prescription, and player profiling in a single protocol
-
How to train fast and explosive players differently. The question Martin calls "the million dollar problem" in team sport conditioning
-
This is not an introduction to HIIT. It is a precise, evidence-based challenge to some of the most common practices in elite team sport conditioning, delivered by the researcher who has spent decades studying them.
ABOUT MARTIN
Founder, HIIT Science
Martin Buchheit
Dr. Martin Buchheit is an applied sport scientist, researcher, and co-founder of HIIT Science alongside Prof. Paul Laursen.
He has worked at the highest levels of professional sport across football, rugby, and endurance, and is the author of some of the most cited research in team sport conditioning, GPS monitoring, and high-intensity training.
The 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test, now used across professional sport worldwide, is his.
AFTER THE MASTERCLASS
If the masterclass changes how you think about testing and prescription, the full Metabolic Conditioning for Team Sports course goes considerably deeper.
Across 11 modules and more than 20 hours of content, Martin builds a complete system for designing, implementing, and monitoring metabolic conditioning in team sport environments, from Zone 2 and HIIT fundamentals through to individualisation, player profiling, and the full HIIT Science model.
From Zone 2 and HIIT fundamentals through to individualisation, player profiling, and the full HIIT Science model.
It is the most comprehensive applied resource on team sport conditioning available anywhere.
Metabolic Conditioning for Team Sports: $299. Lifetime access, CEU-accredited, self-paced
WHAT COACHES ARE SAYING
Peter Glas
"The information presented has changed my way of individualising training for my players. It's truly a resource that all strength and conditioning coaches should use."
Daniel Peso
"After finishing the HIIT Science material, you will grow as a professional like never before."
