CALCULATIONS
Average velocity (10 – 20 m) = (10 m)/(time at 20 m- time at 10 m) = (10 m )/(3.65 sec〖- 2.05 sec〗 ) = 6.25 m/s
Average velocity (0 – 5 m) = (5 m)/(time at 5 m) = (5 m )/(1.26 sec) = 3.97 m/s
Average acceleration (0 – 5 m) = (Velocity at 5 m)/(time at 5 m) = (3.97 …show more content…
It is rather hard to compare the participant’s data to the normative data as the normative data includes different type of sports. The participant’s data cannot be compared to the normative data as they do not do any sports or even if the results were compared they would not be accurate. This is because when the participant’s results are compared to the normative data their results would vary due to all the different sports that are on the normative data. However, if the participant’s agility is not up to standard we can always help improve it. This includes improving the participant’s balance, prescribe exercises that allow them to train with weights as well as doing exercises similar to the 505 agility …show more content…
Therefore, it starts working after the sprint test to slowly replenish ATP.
A person that is good a single or repeated sprints does not necessarily mean they are good at the other. A single and repeated sprints both include speed and acceleration however repeated sprints also includes endurance. If a person lacks endurance level but has good speed and acceleration skills then they would be better at single sprints and vice versa.
AGILITY TEST FOR HOCKEY PLAYERS
Agility is the ability to change directions quickly or to alter the position of the body in space without losing balance which is important for hockey players. An agility test that hockey players can use is the zig-zag test. In this test, hockey players have to run around cones which are set up in an irregular pattern. This is to mimic a situation that would occur in game so when it does occur hockey players will know how to respond.
Equipment:
5 cones
