ObjectiveThe objective of this test is to monitor the athlete's ability to efficiently accelerate from a standing start. Required ResourcesTo undertake this test, you will require:
How to conduct the testThis test requires the athlete to sprint as fast as possible over 20 metres.
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 acceleration.
Target GroupThis test is suitable for sprinters but not for individuals where the test would be contraindicated. 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
