Which of the following items are included in the Steps of the Evaluation Process?

• A. Health History
• B. Nutrition History, Movement Screen, ESD Qualities
• C. Movement Screen, Strength & Power Qualities
• D. Health History, Nutrition History, Movement Screen, Strength & Power Qualities, Speed Qualities, ESD Qualities

Answer: (D)

A complete evaluation looks at multiple domains to capture safety, readiness, and performance. The Steps of the Evaluation Process include health history, nutrition history, movement screen, strength and power qualities, speed qualities, and ESD qualities. Health history reveals past injuries and conditions that influence what you can safely do. Nutrition history shows fueling, hydration, and recovery patterns that affect training response. A movement screen checks fundamental movement quality and flags patterns that might lead to injury. Strength and power qualities quantify how much force you can produce and how explosively, guiding appropriate loads and progressions. Speed qualities measure sprinting and acceleration to inform technique and conditioning needs. ESD qualities examine energy system development, ensuring the program addresses the aerobic and anaerobic demands of the sport. Together, these components provide a full picture of capacity and safety, which is why this option is the best choice. Other options omit one or more essential areas and don’t fully represent the evaluation process.
