Speed and Agility in Sports Training

Speed and agility are important components of sports that require training. Speed is the ability to perform a movement quickly, while agility is the ability to rapidly change body position and direction using balance, coordination, speed, strength and endurance. The document describes the 40-meter sprint test to measure running speed and the hexagon agility test to measure the body's ability to move in different directions quickly. It provides the purpose, equipment needed, and procedures for administering and scoring each test.

strength, size, and power are developed in the weight room. It is true that no matter what
genetic disposition for speed and agility may be, you can enhanced these qualities to some
degree with proper training.
SPEED
-is the ability to perform a movement in one action in the shortest period of time.

-the ability to achieve a high velocity


40-Meter Sprint

Purpose- to measure running speed.

Equipment: Stopwatch, running area


(40 meter)
Procedure
*For the Performer
a. At the signal “Ready”, stand behind the take-off line, the tips of the shoes should not go beyond the line and assume a crouch position.

b. At the signal “GO” start the watch and


stop it as the performer crossed the finish
line.

c. Record time in the nearest 0.00.01


seconds
Scoring
- record time in nearest minutes and seconds.
AGILITY
-is the ability to move in different directions quickly using a combination of balance, coordination, speed, strength and endurance.

- is the ability to rapidly change the position and direction of the body or body parts (maneuverability of body).
Hexagon Agility Test
Purpose – to measure the ability of the body to move in different
directions quickly.

Equipment: Tape measure, stopwatch, chalk or masking tape (1


inch width)

Hexagon size: length-24 inches (60.5 cm) Each angle – 120 degrees
Option: (16 inches – Elem. / 20 inches –Sec. )
Procedure
*For the Performer:
a. Stand with both feet together inside the hexagon facing
the marked starting inside. ( facing 1 direction)

b. At the signal “GO” using the ball of the feet with arms
bent in front, jump clockwise over the line, then back over
the same line inside the hexagon. Continue the pattern
with all the sides of the hexagon.

c. Rest for (1) minute.


d. Repeat the test counterclockwise.
*For the Partner

a. Start the time at the signal go and stop once the


performer reached the side before the side where
he/she started.

b. Record the time of each revolution.

c. Restart the test if the performer jumps on the wrong
