Introduction[edit | edit source]
The Pro-Agility Test, also known as the 5-10-5 shuttle or 20-yard shuttle test, is a popular protocol used across many sports. Developed in 2000 by Harmann et al., it became a component of the battery performance tests for the US National Football League (NFL) and US National Hockey League (NHL) combine testing, as well as the SPARQ rating for basketball, baseball, hockey, and American football[1].
Purpose[edit | edit source]
Despite its name and historical beliefs, the Pro-Agility test does not measure agility. Instead, evaluates the change of direction speed.
Technique[edit | edit source]
Equipment required:
- Testing area (at least 15m in length)
- Timing gates (preferred, but not essential)
- Measuring tape (≥ 10m)
- Stopwatch
- Marker Cones
- Performance recording sheet
Instructions:
- Subject assumes a 3-point position on the start-line. Feet are shoulder-width apart and placed on either side of the line. The hand touching the floor during the 3-point position will be the direction to which the subject will go. For example, if the subject is going right, then the starting position would involve placing the right hand on the start line.
- On the command ‘GO', the subject must run at maximum speed to the first line. Upon reaching the turn-around line, the subject must touch the line with their lead foot and hand while the other hand (inside hand) must not touch the floor.
- The subject will accelerate to the second turn-around line.
- The subject will finish the test by going back to the starting line.
- A minimum of 3 trials must be performed, separated by 2-3 minutes of rest.
Scoring[edit | edit source]
The test results to a total of 2 mean scores, one for each direction change. The equation used to calculate the mean score:[1]
Mean score (seconds) = (trial 1 + trial 2 + trial 3) ÷ total number of trials (eg. 3)
