Introduction[edit | edit source]
The T-Test is one of the most important agility Test, used in a lot of different sports all around the world. The test is a combination of different sport specific pattern as forward, lateral, and backward movements. The Agility T-test was administered as originally set out by Semenick. [1]
Court setting and Equipment required[edit | edit source]
Set out four cones to form a T:
· 5 yards = 4.57m each side
· 10 yards = 9.14 m
Equipment required: cones, stopwatch or tools as timing cells
Procedure[edit | edit source]
Subjects were asked to sprint forwards 9.14 m from the start line to the first cone and touch the tip with their right hand, shuffle 4.57 m left to the second cone and touch with their left hand, then shuffle 9.14 m to the right to the third cone and touch with their right, shuffle 4.57 m back left to the middle cone and touch with their left hand before finally back pedaling to the start line. Time began upon subjects passing through the timing gates and stopped upon them passing through on return.
The test will not be counted if the subject crosses one foot in front of the other while shuffling, fails to touch the base of the cones, or fails to face forward throughout the test. Take the best time of three successful trials. [2]
