A pretty interesting article about how Stanford's football trainer looks at a lot more than just bench press and 40-yard-dash training.
"Turley pays particular attention to his players’ Functional Movement Screen scores. The F.M.S. is a durability index, what Turley calls “a predictive, quantitative analysis of quality of movement.” That is the first test he conducts. It evaluates seven movements and scores players as balanced, functional, overpowered, dysfunctional and injury prone. It shows if a player executes a movement better with his left leg than his right, pointing out asymmetries."
I have always found it tough to work out with an eye to achieving everything; strength, endurance, flexibility, core, balance, etc. Interesting to see this idea at a big-time Division I football program.
