The Illinois Agility Test
The Illinois agility test is a fitness test designed to test one's sport agility. It tests the ability to turn in different directions and at different angles. The world record for the Illinois agility test is held by Dan "Dirty" Kerr of Australia who completed the test in a time of 11.40 seconds at the Wilding Center in Melbourne, Victoria on July 5th 2007.
Equipment: Stopwatch, cones, 10 m measuring tape.
Conducting the test
Set up a course as outlined (below) with a 10 metre line of four equally spaced out cones down the middle (3.3 metres apart). The width (distance between the start and finish points) is 5 metres.
Players 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 player gets up as quickly as possible and runs around the course in the direction indicated, without knocking the cones over, to the finish line (stop timing).
