Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010088529A1] In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to an athleticism rating method for normalizing and more accurately comparing overall athletic performance of at least two athletes. Each athlete completes at least two different athletic performance tests. Each test is designed to measure a different athletic skill that is needed to compete effectively in a defined sport. The results from each test for a given athlete are normalized by comparing the test results to a database providing the distribution of test results among a similar class of athletes and then assigning each test result a point number based on that test result's percentile among the distribution of test results. Combining the point numbers derived from the at least two different athletic performance tests for an athlete produces an athleticism rating score representing the overall athleticism of each athlete.
