This will be measured by hand held dynamometer pre and post training intervention. Will testing major muscles such as the quadriceps, hamstrings, biceps, triceps.
Aerobic Capacity	Before training and after completion of training at The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention. Training can last from four weeks to a year.	This will be estimated by the step test, done pre and post training.
Training Habits	After a subject undergoes training at The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention, they will complete a survey every 3 months for the next 10 years.	Surveys will answer if participants continue with their new training habits
Anaerobic Capacity	Before training and after completion of training at The Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention. Training can last from four weeks to a year.	This will be measured by a series of tests such as the vertical jump test and shuttle run. These measures will be tested pre and post training.
