Performance tests can be used to see if an implemented training program is working for the athlete or if the program needs alterations. They can also assess current abilities in specific athletic areas to help the athlete choose what to focus their energy on improving.
ok my answer was They measure an athlete's performance in that area being tested. This is done to compare to past performance evaluation tests and to measure if the athlete is getting better or worse. It also determines if the athlete should stop or keep doing his/her sport.
