5-10-5 Agility Test
Total time, split times and change of direction in the Pro Agility shuttle.
Modules
- Canlı ölçüm
- Video analizi
The 5-10-5 Agility Test (Pro Agility) is a shuttle in which the athlete runs 5 m one way, 10 m the other way and 5 m back. The app detects line crossings on camera and calculates total time, the three segment times and change-of-direction losses.
What Is It Used For?
- Assessing change-of-direction speed and braking–reacceleration capacity
- Identifying asymmetry between right and left turns
- Use in return-to-sport testing after knee and ankle injuries
- Seasonal performance tracking in team sports
Measured Parameters
- Total time (s)
- Segment times: 5 m, 10 m, 5 m
- Right and left turn times and their difference
- Best and average value across trials
Setup and Camera Placement
- Mark three lines 5 m apart on a flat surface; the middle one is the start line.
- Fix the camera opposite the lane, level with the middle line, about 8–10 m away.
- All three lines and the athlete must stay in frame throughout the test.
- Mark the lines on screen in the app and select the turn direction.
Tips for Accurate Measurement
- Hand contact with the line is mandatory; a trial without contact is invalid.
- Use a non-slip surface and proper footwear; slipping in the turns distorts the result.
- Keep the camera fixed and square to the lane; a high frame rate sharpens the turn moments.
- Warm up and do one sub-maximal practice trial before the test.
How Is the Test Done?
- The athlete sets up on the middle line in a three-point stance with one hand on the ground.
- On the start, the athlete sprints 5 m to the right line and touches it with the hand.
- The athlete turns, sprints 10 m to the left line and touches it the same way.
- The athlete turns again and crosses the middle line at full speed; timing stops here.
- One trial starting right, one starting left; at least 2 minutes rest between.
What Will I See on the Results Screen?
- Total time and the three segment times
- Time difference between right and left turns (asymmetry)
- The annotated video
- A record saved to the profile and comparable with earlier tests
Interpreting the Results
- A clear difference between right and left turns may point to weaker braking or push-off on that side and should be considered alongside a clinical examination.
- Follow segment times as well as the total; the turn segments reflect change-of-direction capacity better.
- Compare on the same surface and with the same line layout.
Clinical Use Example
Nine months after ACL reconstruction, a basketball player performs the 5-10-5 test in both directions. A turn time on the operated side within 10% of the uninjured side is followed as one of the return-to-sport criteria.
