'PLEASE NOTE! This version of the test is now out of date. We have updated the core test section to better reflect the requirements of roller derby. NEW test video is here:  https://youtu.be/EcLpp97zqsE  Please visit www.rollerderbyathletics.com/fitness-test for a full description of the test, and to record your results!  Why does it make sense to have a standardized fitness test for roller derby?  Most major sports have a benchmark indicator of the elements of fitness necessary to be successful in the sport. These tests, like the NFL Combine, are used most visibly for scouting and drafting purposes; but younger and up-and-coming athletes also have the benefit of using these tests for self-monitoring, tracking and development. Coaches and teams benefit from identifying individual and group weaknesses and modifying training focus accordingly.  Roller derby athletes, on the other hand, currently have little framework for comparison of fitness levels. The RDA Standardized Roller Derby Fitness Test attempts to create a unified standard that can be used by individual athletes, and by teams and leagues worldwide. Anonymous results (leaderboard and averages) will be posted on www.rollerderbyathletics.com/fitness-testing for reference and benchmarking.'
