Single leg balance

Balance & stability

Video placeholder — embed QT2 demo video here
Tests single-leg stability, hip control, and proprioception — all essential for the demands of run gait.
Pass: Hold for 20 seconds per side without excessive hip drop, trunk lean, toe gripping, or arm flailing.

Knee to wall

Ankle dorsiflexion

Video placeholder — embed QT2 demo video here
Adequate ankle dorsiflexion allows the body's center of gravity to move over the foot without compensation. Triathletes are particularly at risk due to time spent in a toed-down position swimming and in a locked ankle position on the bike.
Pass: Knee contacts wall with toe 10–15cm from wall. Marginal: Knee contacts wall with toe touching wall only.
Result

Single leg heel raise

Calf strength & endurance

Video placeholder — embed QT2 demo video here
The calves — particularly the soleus — produce approximately half of forward propulsive force during running. The Achilles tendon acts as a spring, storing and releasing energy. Calf strength is disproportionately lost with age, making this especially important for masters athletes.
Pass (rate: 1 sec up / 1 sec down): Under 50: >25 reps. Age 50–60: >20 reps. Age 60–70: >15 reps. Over 70: >10 reps.

Lateral step down

Hip, knee & pelvic control

Video placeholder — embed QT2 demo video here
A catch-all test of balance, hip strength, pelvic and trunk stability, quadriceps control, and ankle range of motion at angles required for running. Deficits in lateral hip activation have been linked to knee injury.
Pass: 10 reps per side without losing balance, toe gripping, excessive trunk lean, or pelvic drop. Hands stay on hips.
Result

Single leg bridge hold

Posterior chain & lateral hip

Video placeholder — embed QT2 demo video here
Assesses strength, stability, control, and endurance of the glutes, hamstrings, and gluteus medius. Deficits here can cause excessive trunk lean, lateral hip drop, and hamstring cramping during runs.
Pass: Hold 30 seconds per side with level pelvis — hips should not rotate or sink. Note where fatigue or breakdown occurs.
Result

Side plank hold

Lateral hip & trunk stability

Video placeholder — embed QT2 demo video here
Level 1 pass: Standard side plank 45 sec/side, pelvis level, no hip rotation.

Level 2 pass: Raise top leg and hold 20 sec without pelvis dropping or rotating.
Result

Adductor plank hold

Adductor strength

Video placeholder — embed QT2 demo video here
Pass: Hold position 20 seconds without pelvis or hips dropping, or excessive pain.
Result

Trunk rotation

Thoracic mobility

Video placeholder — embed QT2 demo video here
Pass: Seated back on heels, elbow closest to wall down, rotate shoulders to greater than 45–50 degrees from horizontal.
Result

Kneeling hip flexor mobility

Hip flexor length

Video placeholder — embed QT2 demo video here
Pass: Kneeling inside a doorframe with midback touching it, tuck pelvis so low back is flush against the frame without strong pulling in the front of the hip or thigh.
