Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Jump Height	Vertical jump tests is used to measure lower limb explosive power by measuring the height a client is able to jump in centimetre (cm).; Attempt to touch the wall at the highest point of the jump. The difference in distance between the standing reach height and the jump height is the score. The best of three attempts is recorded.	6-8 Weeks
Primary	Endurance	This test is used to measures endurance	6-8 Weeks
Primary	Ballistic push up test	This test is used to measure explosive strength for upper extremity.	6-8 Weeks
