Based on a few tests that can be done in and out of the pool, you’ll be able to evaluate how to optimize your workout program in order to obtain the best results.
When looking around the pool or the gym, one sees amateur athletes that follow self-created workouts. Most likely, these people wouldn’t be able to explain why that they chose to work out in a particular way, with that amount of rest and those amounts of sets. This is because many people lack the basic knowledge on how to organize a workout not only in order to make it more efficient, but also to be able to evaluate if you’re obtaining results. For this you need physical test evaluations.
Today we’re suggesting three types of tests: One general test, one to be done in the pool and one to be done at the gym.
General anthropometric test
This first test is simply a test to gain personal data: height, weight, body composition and flexibility. This data is useful in order to understand your physical state and chose a suitable personalized workout. For example, if your body composition reveals that your body fat level is too high you can focus on reducing it. By repeating this test a few months later, you will be able to see very clearly if your type of workout has been effective.
