Epley Advantage Index

How do your athletes stack up?

Boyd Epley, the original strength coach, developed the Epley indexes in the 1960s with Mike Arthur and Chris Eskridge. Once a secret of elite sports organizations, the index is now available to every coach through Dashr: generate reports in your Dashboard from your test results.

Unlimited reports for a year from $200

What goes into the report

Speed, agility, power and size

Each performance test counts toward the overall score. A 5-star system shows where athletes stand and where they need work when looking to play at the college level; the score needed for each star is sport specific. A triangle plot shows each athlete’s strengths and weaknesses.

Example

Why size matters

Two male athletes take the same three tests. The Epley API accounts for body size.

	Athlete 1	Athlete 2
Body weight	150 lb	205 lb
10-yard dash	1.70 s = 319 points	1.77 s = 347 points
Pro-agility	4.15 s = 416 points	4.23 s = 449 points
Vertical jump	30.5 in = 435 points	29.5 in = 445 points
Epley API	1170	1241

Athlete 1 was faster and jumped higher, but Athlete 2 scored higher because he is heavier, which makes his results more impressive. A simple leaderboard would miss this.

Epley ASI

Strength, pound for pound

Epley ASI accounts for physical attributes, so athletes compete pound for pound regardless of sport or gender. The report uses biometrics (height, weight and age), the squat and the hang clean.

Female basketball player

Weighs 175 lb and squats 300 lb: 514 Strength Index points.

Female shot putter

Weighs 200 lb and squats 320 lb: 513 Strength Index points.

Male football player

Weighs 250 lb and squats 540 lb: 512 Strength Index points.

All three scored over 500 points. Most high school athletes score in the 200 to 400-point range.
