Introduction[edit | edit source]
The Quadrant Jump Test is an agility test that measures an individual's ability to jump rapidly within a limited space while maintaining balance and control.[1]
Purpose[edit | edit source]
The Quadrant Jump Test is commonly used to test whole body agility of athletes from different sports.
Technique[edit | edit source]
Equipment: stopwatch, tape measure, chalk or tape
Instructions:
- Stand with both feet together at the starting line
- On the command 'go', jump into the first quadrant, then successively into quadrants 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, and so on for 10 seconds.
- Rest
- Repeat the trial (Total of 2 trials are performed)
Advantages: Simple agility test to perform, requiring limited equipment and space.
Disadvantages: Only one person can perform the test at a time.[1]
Variations
There's no standardised way of doing the test so there are differences in existing research:
- Some studies use 15 seconds for each trial
- Quadrant jumps may be performed
- Comparison of performing the test in the anticlockwise and clockwise directions may show if any imbalances exist between left and right movement skills.
- Scoring
Scoring[edit | edit source]
- 1 point is given every time both feet land in the right quadrant
- 0.5 point is subtracted every time the feet touch a line or land in an incorrect quadrant.
- There are 2 ways to compute the final score:
Evidence[edit | edit source]
There are limited studies measuring the validity and reliability of the Quadrant Jump
