Front and Back Agility Test
Test forward acceleration and backward movement efficiency (backpedaling).
Overview
A Front and Back Agility Test, typically set up via Custom Tests, involves sprinting forward to a line, touching it, then backpedaling to the start, repeated for reps or time. It assesses agility in the sagittal plane.
Key Benefits:
Evaluate forward and backward movement agility
Assess transition efficiency between motions
Measure anaerobic capacity and body control
Relevant for defensive situations in many sports
What it's testing
Forward acceleration and backward movement efficiency.
Ability to transition smoothly between forward/backward motion.
Anaerobic endurance/capacity (if multiple reps/extended time).
Body control and coordination.

Common sports and why
Basketball: Defensive movements (closing out, retreating).
American Football (Defensive Backs, Linebackers): Covering receivers.
Tennis, Volleyball: Moving to net and retreating.
Soccer (Defenders): Jockeying an attacker.
