The child doesn't see a test — they see a journey with Leos the lynx cub. Every question is picture-based, with minimal text, and no rush.
Multisport diagnostics based on 39 indicators across 4 components. The child completes short picture-based tasks, and the family receives 2–3 sport categories worth trying first.
More about the program →Create a profile: name, age, gender — 1 minute. The system automatically selects the mode based on age.
The system suggests an age-appropriate mode and shows the parent a day-by-day plan. Everything is completed in short sessions, without trying to finish the diagnostic in one sitting.
Four stages: "My Movement," "What I Like in Sport," "What I'm Like," "Me and Water." Progress is saved after every answer. If the child gets tired, Leos offers a break.
After completion you get a report on 39 indicators and 2–3 sport categories to try, with an explanation of why they fit your child.
During the research program, the methodology's authors personally discuss results with every family, answer questions, and help build an action plan.
After the child profile is created, the system suggests a mode automatically, by age. The parent can change the choice — except for a "1-day" mode, which doesn't exist in AthLEOS at all.
Each day the child completes only one block: movement, motivation, personality, or water. This keeps sessions short and avoids mixing different task types.
The longest method is completed on its own day, while shorter methods are paired. This is the main mode for older children when the family is not in a hurry.
For older children who can hold attention for longer. Day one is the movement block; day two combines motivation, personality, and water, with required breaks.
| Day | Block for the child | Test / items | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | My Movement | PL-C Quest: 30 items | 15–25 min |
| Day 2 | What I Like | CSMSQ: 9 items | 10–15 min |
| Day 3 | What I'm Like | PPTQ-C: 15 items | 10–15 min |
| Day 4 | Me and Water | CWSQ: 10 items | 10–15 min |
| Day | Block for the child | Test / items | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | My Movement | PL-C Quest: 30 | 25–30 min |
| Day 2 | What I Like + What I'm Like | CSMSQ: 9 + PPTQ-C: 15 | 20–25 min |
| Day 3 | Me and Water | CWSQ: 10 | 10–15 min |
| Day | Block for the child | Test / items | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | My Movement | PL-C Quest: 30 | 25–30 min |
| Day 2 | What I Like + What I'm Like + Me and Water | CSMSQ: 9 + PPTQ-C: 15 + CWSQ: 10 | 25–35 min |
Internal rule for all modes: after every 5–7 items the system offers a break. If the child answers too quickly in a row, Leos gently suggests stopping for the day rather than continuing for the sake of "quantity."
Choose the mode, the first date, and a convenient time. The site will download an .ics file that can be added to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or a phone calendar.
The calendar will include separate day-by-day events and a reminder 2 hours before each session.
The algorithm doesn't evaluate the child by the content of their answers — only by behavioral signals during the session.
Possible random clicks or loss of interest. The system offers a break.
Possible fatigue or confusion about the task. The system shows a gentle hint.
A sign of doubt or distraction. The parent is offered the option to pause the session.
An explicit signal from the child or parent. Progress is saved, the date to continue is up to them.
System tone: Leos never tells the child "you're tired." He says: "Let's rest for a bit. I'll save everything you've already done." The system tells the parent something different: "It's better to continue later, so the answers stay attentive."
It's the same scientific apparatus — 4 tests, 64 items, 39 indicators. But the interface shows it differently depending on who's looking at the screen.
Not a score and not a percentage, but a clear map: a 4-component profile and 2–3 sport categories to try, with a word-based match level — not a number, which would create an illusion of precision the model doesn't have.
See a full example report →The report is not for judging the child. It supports a calm decision: which directions to try, what to discuss with a coach, and when to return for a repeat diagnostic.
The family receives a clear summary: 2–3 sport categories to try, a component profile, and first-session recommendations.
The parent can show key signals: motivation, group behavior, response to tasks, and reaction to load.
A repeat diagnostic in 6–12 months helps see how interest, confidence, and readiness for new trials have changed.
The diagnostic is currently free for research program participants.
