Illinois Agility Test

Procedure

First do a good warming up of ten minutes during which you go through a couple of bursts of speed. This way your muscles get used to this. Start by lying face down on the floor with your hands beside your shoulders. After the start signal, you get up as quickly as possible and start the course.

The body may be turned during the test. It is important that the course is completed as fast as possible, without mistakes of course. If a cone falls over, the test result is invalid.

Tips

• Everyone has a preferred side. This can mainly be seen from the rotation speed. For this reason, it is also a good idea to swap the start and finish, to check whether there is a difference between left and right.
• Do not slow down before the end, but keep running until you cross the line.
• It is a relatively short test. Do not save your strength, but immediately give everything you have!
• Wear good shoes that provide a lot of grip. You need to twist and turn a lot in this test.
