What is the point?
In most sports, agility is typically required when the athlete is moving at speed. Thus a test such as the 505 Agility test is particularly useful as it tests the agility of an athlete who is already moving at speed.
What do you need?
-
6 cones
-
Non slip surface
-
Stopwatch
-
An assistant
How do you do the test?
The course should be marked out as follows – the distance from A to B is 10 metres, from B to C is 5 metres.
-
Start running from the start line (A) to build up speed
-
The timing starts when you pass line B
-
Run at full speed on to line C, then turn and run back towards the start line
-
The assistant stops the timing when you pass line B once more
-
Rest two minutes and repeat – record the best time
