Physical Challenge: 10 meter shuttle run and Exercises
What is agility?.....to be agile. Agility is the ability to change the body's direction of movement quickly and efficiently. Agility is a key metric used by professional scouts, coaches, and managers to identify athletic performance. Agility is a metric that combines static and dynamic balance, coordination, strength, and SPEED.
How can we test this? Watch the video below, as we demonstrate the 10 meter shuttle run test. This test is important for a number of reasons, it measures your ability to accelerate, decelerate, & change directions. This skill is extremely important in sports that require changing directions frequently (think football, basketball, soccer, tennis, etc..).
