About Adolescent Sports Metrics

Better Data + Better Research = A Better Future for All Children!

Adolescent Sports Metrics (ASM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to better define what "normal" (i.e. healthy) looks like in adolescent children. ASM’s mission is to collect health and vital sign data from young athletes during UIL Pre-Participation Evaluations in order to establish “normal” data ranges within this demographic group. Baseline data ranges are not currently available for various reasons, primarily because this age group does not see healthcare providers unless ill. As a result, the health data collected during sick visits do not improve diagnoses for providers or outcomes for sick children. By providing better formative health data to healthcare providers and researchers, we believe we will enable improved information and outcomes for providers as well as young patients.

Why Choose ASM

We are the Platinum Level health assessment we would want for our own children. Please let us serve your children with the same high quality assessment and help us work to improve medical outcomes for all children.

ASM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working under an IRB (research) collecting data to establish normal reference ranges on the pediatric and adolescent demographic. All students that participate are de-identified, meaning none of the data collected can be connected to their identity which completely preserves participant privacy.

By allowing us to serve your children, you will allow us to serve everyone's children in the future with better data, for better research and a better future!
