1. Name of Test: Agility T-Test 2. Specific Purpose: The T-Test is a test of agility for athletes, and includes forward, lateral, and backward running. The T-Test is an effective way for coaches to assess their players’ ability to change direction at speed. 3. Validity, Reliability, Objectivity Factors: Validity: The objective of the T-test is to measure agility. It portrays validity in that the individual has to stop and go, cut, and move quickly, which are all characteristics of validity. It is the same movements each time the test is run, so as a person improves agility, time should go down. The type of validity is criterion-related validity. It is also concurrent because the criterion is measure at the same time as the alternative measure. The time is measured to test the speed and agility at which the individual completes the test. Reliability: The T-test produces very reliable results. It obtains the same score or near the same score every time. This test is also easy to set up and displays specific measurements, which are hard to deviate from in any manner. One can replicate the test to retest an individual. One way to make the test even more reliable would be to use sensors that use motion detection to time the individual. This would time them exactly when they leave the start and as soon as they cross the line. It is also vital to use the same type of surface to ensure reliability. In one research article, Reliability and Validity of the T-Test as a Measure of Agility, Leg Power, and Leg Speed in College-Aged Men and Women, found in the Journal of Strength Conditioning, the reliability of the T-test was 0.98 across three trials. This proves that it is a highly reliable test. It was shown to measure agility, power, speed, and strength. Objectivity: Objectivity may occur in the timing. Depending on the stopwatch used and the person timing, results may vary. This is why utilizing motion sensors to time would be beneficial. 4. Funda
