Zig Zag Test
-
equipment required: marker cones, stopwatch, non-slip surface.
-
description / procedure: Similar to the Shuttle Run test, this test requires the athlete to run a course in the shortest possible time. A standard zig zag course is with four cones placed on the corners of a rectangle 10 by 16 feet, with one more cone placed in the centre.
If the cones are labelled
1 to 4 around the rectangle going along the longer side first,
and the centre cone is C, the test begins at 1, then to C, 2,
3, C, 4, then back to 1. -
modifications: This test procedure can be modified by changing the distance between cones, and the number of circuits performed.
- comments:The total distance run should not be too great so that fatigue does not become a factor.
