4. Elbow should be 90 degrees
5. Both legs extended

9. After reaching the starting line, the subject begins to zig-zag through 4 traffic cones in such a way so as to return to the starting line.
10. Upon completing the zig-zag through 4 traffic cones, the subject sprints toward the final turning point diagonally.
11. After crossing the final traffic cone, the subject runs full speed across the finish line.
Validity
Correlation coefficients ranging from 0.33 to 0.46 were obtained with other measures of agility. There are published tables to relate results to a potential level of fitness.
Reliability
The reliability coefficients ranged from 0.77 to 0.92, which suggest a high degree of consistency. Reliability depends upon how strict the test is conducted and the individual's level of motivation to perform the test.
