Day 1, Test 1 - Illinois Agility Test



So are you ready to begin with the famous "Illinois agility test"? This test is a great test to get started with as it tests your agility and is simple to follow.


purpose: To test running agility


equipment required: flat non-slip surface, marking cones, stopwatch and measuring tape.


description: The length of the course is 10 meters and the width (distance between the start and finish points) is 5 meters. Four cones are used to mark the start, finish and the two turning points. Another four cones are placed down the centre an equal distance apart. Each cone in the centre is spaced 3.3 meters apart.


procedure: Subjects should lie on their front (head to the start line) and hands by their shoulders. On the 'Go' command the stopwatch is started, and the athlete gets up as quickly as possible and runs around the course in the direction indicated, without knocking the cones over, to the finish line, at which the timing is stopped.


Results: For results please email me and I will calculate how well you have done.
