“Human performance is at the core of the Under Armour brand. With UA COMBINE, we envisage this to be more than just a competition of testing skill and athleticism; it will be a unique and exciting experience for athletes around the region to really challenge themselves mentally and physically and become better versions of themselves.”
Justin Olivares, Marketing Director for Under Armour South Asia-Pacific.
Competing athletes will put themselves through the 8 toughest tests our sports scientists can devise, challenging their agility, stamina, vertical, power, endurance, strength, speed, and cognition. Points will be earned for each completed test and athletes will be ranked according to their final result.
UA Combine 2022 medals and cash prizes of S$5,000, S$2,500 and S$1,000 will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed athletes in both the men’s and women’s divisions respectively.
The 8 tests will focus on:
- AGILITY: Arrowhead Change-of-Direction Speed Test
- STAMINA: Pull-up Beep Test
- VERTICAL : Standing Vertical Leap Test
- POWER: 20m Sled Push
- ENDURANCE: 20m Beep Test
- STRENGTH: 3RM Bench Press
- SPEED: 40 Yard Dash

“Reaching your peak performance is more than strength of body, but strength of mind, character and will. By combining disciplines into one test of fitness like we have with UA COMBINE, athletes will discover their true potential like never before. Every part of this competition is designed to satisfy the fundamental desire of an athlete to test the limits of what they think is possible for them to achieve.”
James Newbury, Under Armour athlete, four-time winner of ‘Australia’s Fittest Man’ title and UA COMBINE’s Competition Director.
