“A high score on the performance index does not guarantee success because there are so many other factors in sports,” Epley said. “These tests are good indicators of potential to do well. Each sport has its own demands, and athletes have to be good at those things as well.”

Dang it! Where's auto-correct when I need it.

Thanks.

Is the scoring the same for male/female?

No. Look at Devine and Kadie.

I'm guessing it's weighted by gender and height for the vertical.

 

[The Dude]

It's Herbie Hancock.

These must be last year's stats. Cici Hall has graduated, and was playing ball overseas in January.

Almost like the old Husker Power. Almost. Still, in the off season, its almost like the game page.

Austin Rose earned the highest event score of all (men), 740, in pro agility. If he can't get on the field at RB hopefully they move him and see if he can do it at another spot.

Husker's website lists him at 6'1" and 225 so there are plenty of options.

Tommy's scores scream that he should run more (plenty of talk about that already of course).

Of course it is weighted differently. Women are anatomically dissimilar from men (what a shock). For example, in aerobic capacity, which is not measured in this system, a woman has a lower limitation in cardiac output (the volume of blood per unit of time) that they can generate. Since oxygen delivery is primarily dependent on the number of red blood cells (actually the amount of hemoglobin) circulated, a woman is at a disadvantage due to a smaller maximum cardiac output and a tendency to have a slightly smaller red blood cell mass per unit volume. Slightly less hemoglobin per cc and less cc/min circulated = less oxygen delivery and therefore a slightly smaller aerobic capacity. The performance index attempts to adjust for these differences.

Oh man...I know one poster that is about to come here and freak the F out.

Armstrong is a beast athlete. No blame. It's just a shame he got lost in the shuffle of the coaching change, in a sense.
