Sprint tests
A 35 metre Sprint test is test that measure how fast an individual is following a 35 metre sprint. It is used to determine acceleration and maximum running speed.
How to conduct the test:
Resources needed:
- Cones
-Stopwatch
- Partner
-Measuring tape
-Flat surface
Advantages:
- There is not much equipment required
- The test can be conduct anywhere
- The equipment are cheap to purchase
- It is easy to set up
Disadvantages:
- The test is not reliable. e.g the participant may start a sec early or the assistant might pause the time late.
- A partner must be present to conduct the test.
Reliability:
The test's reliability applies to level in which a test is consistent and stable in measuring what it is intended to measure. "Reliability will depend on how the test is carried out and the individual's level of motivation to perform the test" (Brian Mac- Sprint speed test, 2013).
From this website, I have learnt that reliability is being able to show dependable results as well as them being consistent.
Validity:
"The test's validity relates to the degree in which the test actually measures and what it claims to measure. This test provides a mean to monitor the effect of training on the athlete's physical development" (Brian Mac- Sprint speed test, 2013).
From this website, I have learnt that validity is a measurement method and it is there to make sure that what you are measuring is what is supposed to be measured.

The video below is an example of how the 35 metre sprint should be conducted.
A 35 metre Sprint test is test that measure how fast an individual is following a 35 metre sprint. It is used to determine acceleration and maximum running speed.
How to conduct the test:
- The participant should begin with a warm up.
- The partner should use cones to mark a 35 meters straight section.
- The participant should get ready by getting into the starting position.
- The partner should call out “On Your Marks, Get Set, GO” and begin to start the stopwatch.
- After the participant has finished, their partner should stop the stopwatch when the participants head crosses the finish line.
- The participant should rest for 5 minutes before he/she conducts this sprint test again. (the participant would need to do this 3 times to make sure the results are valid).
- To assess the participant's performance, his/her partner should use the fastest time.
