Download or read book Predicting Playing Time for Offensive Football Players from Pre season Physical Tests written by Charles W. Syverson and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaches use physical tests to assess specific performance attributes. However, there is little data on whether specific physical tests predict game participation. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not pro-agility (PRO), forty-yard sprint (40), bench press (BP), vertical jump (VJ), and Beaver run (BR) can predict the numbers of plays played by offensive players and to determine whether one test can predict the success of another. The subjects were male offensive football players at Bemidji State University, a NCAA Division II Program. The subjects were divided into the position groups which consisted of offensive linemen (OL), offensive backs (OB), and receivers (REC). There was a significant relationship between plays played and 40-yard sprint r(10)= -.795, p=.006, vertical jump r(10)= .693, p=.026 and Beaver run r(10)= -.670, p=.034 for the receiver group. VJ was significantly correlated with PRO, 40, and BR, r(27)= -.873, r(27)= -.879, and r(27)= -.842 respectively; BR was significantly correlated with 40 and PRO, r(27)= .898, r(27)= .821, respectively; and the 40 was significantly correlated with PRO r(27) = .812, p = .000. The results of this study suggest that some tests are strongly related to playing time. However, testing remains an evaluation tool, not the determining factor for player selection.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In recent years the National Collegiate Athlete Association has lessened the amount of time they allow their participating football members to practice in the preseason. Consequently, coaches look for ways to best utilize the time they do have. This study was conducted to determine if there was a significant difference in preseason testing results between the starters and non-starters. Seventy-two members of the Bemidji State University (BSU) football team, 24 in three separate positions, were studied over a three years span, encompassing 33 games to determine of [sic] the starters performed significantly higher than the non-starters in the five fitness tests performed. No such study had been performed at BSU longer than three games prior to this research. Athletes were tested on the 40 yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, pro agility, and the Beaver Run. Results were entered into an SPSS program and compared using an independent samples t-test. There were significant results between the starters and non-starters of the linebacker and the wide receiver group. No such results were found in any of the five preseason fitness tests amongst the defensive back groups. The results of this study indicate there are differences between starters and non-starters in certain position groups and certain tests within those groups. Not all tests were significant and are able to be used to help determine potential starters over non-starters"--Abstract.

Book excerpt: The thrilling behind-the-scenes account of how the NFL's most sensational scandal culminated in sports history's greatest comeback, featuring dozens of exclusive interviews with Patriots players -- including Tom Brady himself. In January 2015, rumors circulated that the New England Patriots -- a team long suspected of abiding by the "if you ain't cheating you ain't trying" philosophy -- had used under-inflated footballs in their playoff victory against the Indianapolis Colts. As evidence began to build, however, a full on NFL investigation was launched, exploding an unsubstantiated rumor into an intense scandal that would lead news coverage for weeks. As shockwaves rippled throughout the NFL system, the very legitimacy of one of the league's most popular teams and their star quarterback began to erode, even as the Patriots and Brady went on to win that year's Super Bowl. But as the celebrations gave way to the offseason, the investigation only intensified, reopening old wounds between the Patriots' powerful owner, Robert Kraft, and the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell. Brady was devastated and seemingly more nervous in front of a judge that on a game-winning drive. When the dust settled, Brady would be able to play again - but only after watching the first four games of the 2016 season from his couch. The pressure couldn't have been more intense: Brady's legacy was at stake. If he failed to return to his usual self, all the critics and even the history books would have to put a giant asterisk next to his name, signifying one thing: he was a cheater. 12 is the propulsive story of this gritty comeback. It's a drama that unfolds in the locker room, the court room, and under the brightest lights in all of sports -- the Super Bowl. Now for the first time, readers will have an exclusive look into Tom Brady's experience and the NFL's shocking strangle-hold on their players. With unprecedented access to Brady himself, his teammates, and his lawyers, we will see just how a football legend went up against one of the largest corporations in the world to stage the greatest comeback in NFL history and emerge a god of the gridiron.
