How can we test out our speed and agility?
Illinois agility run
• The length of the course is 10 metres and the width (distance
between the start and finish points) is 5 metres. On an athletics
track, you could use 5 lanes.
• 4 cones can be used to mark the start, finish and the two turning
points. Each cone in the centre is spaced 3.3 metres apart.

How to conduct the test
The Illinois Agility Run Test is conducted as follows:
The athlete lies face down on the floor at the start point
On the assistant's command the athlete jumps to his/her feet and
negotiates the course around the cones to the finish
The assistant records the total time taken from their command to the
athlete completing the course
