Illinois Agility Run

I demonstrated the illinois agility test, I simply just had to complete the little course in the quickest possible time. The components of fitness that this involves is agility, speed and power. Agility was used in this because there was a lot of twist and turn I had to get around. Speed was used in this because I had to complete the course in the quickest time and power was used in this because I had to use bursts of power. The muscles which this works is all of the legs muscles such as your hamstrings, quadriceps, gluteous maximus and gastrocnemius. This test showed that I have good agility and speed because I done it quite quickly. The advantages of this test is that you can run round a course at speed, the quicker you are the better and it works the legs muscles. The disadvantages of the agility run is that it is to easy and to general it is not specific enough.

Sit And Reach

Jack demonstrated the sit and reach flexibility test, the test shows if the person has flexible hamstrings. If the person has flexible hamstrings there hands will go past there feet. This test showed that Jack did have good flexibility because he could reach past his toes. The only muscle that this works is the hamstrings. The advantages of the flexibility test is that it shows how flexible the hamstrings are. The disadvantages of this test is that it doesnt show a range of flexibility.

Football Wall Target

Frankie did the football wall target, the components of fitness that this works is coordination, speed and agility. Frankie had to see how many times he could hit the target on the wall in 30 seconds. The muscle that he worked was the legs muscles which are the quadriceps, hamstrings, gastrocnemius and soleus. Coordination is the ability to move two or more parts of the body at once, this test has shown that Frankie has good coordination. An advantage of the football wall target is that it is football so the footballers would be better than the non footballers this is a disadventage as well.
