Help discover Canada’s next generation of Olympic Athletes
RBC Training Ground is a day of physical challenges for athletes between the ages of 14 to 25 to showcase their podium potential. To see if they’ve got what it takes to be Canada’s next great Olympic athlete, athletes will compete in four exercises that include:
POWER: Vertical Jump – to assess the explosiveness of the lower body
SPEED: 20m Metre Sprint – to assess running velocity
STRENGTH: Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull – to assess general full-body muscular strength
ENDURANCE: 20 Metre Multi-Stage Shuttle Run – to assess general full-body endurance
