300 yard Shuttle TestTesting and measurement are the means of collecting information upon which subsequent performance evaluations and decisions are made but in the analysis we need to bear in mind the factors that may influence the results. ObjectiveThe objective of this test is to monitor the athlete's intermediate anaerobic power (lactate system).
Required ResourcesTo undertake this test you will require:
How to conduct the testThis test requires the athlete to complete 10 shuttle runs between two cones 30 yards apart as fast as possible.
AnalysisAnalysis of the test result is by comparing it with the athlete's previous results for this test. It is expected that, with appropriate training between each test, the analysis would indicate an improvement in the athlete's anaerobic energy system. I have not found any normative tables for this test but a good time for men is 55 to 60 seconds and 65 to 70 seconds for women. Target GroupThis test is suitable for active individuals but not for those where the test would be contraindicated. This is a suitable test for games players (e.g. football, rugby, hockey, basketball, squash, tennis, badminton) as the shuttle format makes it sport specific. ReliabilityTest reliability refers to the degree to which a test is consistent and stable in measuring what it is intended to measure. Reliability will depend upon how strict the test is conducted and the individual's level of motivation to perform the test. The following link provides a variety of factors that may influence the results and therefore the test reliability. ValidityTest validity refers to the degree to which the test actually measures what it claims to measure and the extent to which inferences, conclusions, and decisions made on the basis of test scores are appropriate and meaningful. This test provides a means to monitor the effect of training on the athlete's physical development. Advantages
