Segments to Improve:

• Roxzone: Scott's Roxzone time was slower than average, indicating that he spent more time resting or transitioning between exercises. To improve this segment, Scott should focus on enhancing his overall fitness and reducing transition time. Incorporating High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) into his routine could help improve his endurance and speed. Practicing quick transitions between different exercises during training sessions could also help reduce his Roxzone time.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Scott's Burpees Broad Jump time was 00:31 slower than average. To improve in this area, Scott could incorporate more plyometrics and functional training into his routine. Exercises like box jumps, standing long jumps, and weighted squat jumps could help increase power and speed.
