About
Sports where short-distance accelerations take place and that require rapid directional changes, can benefit from assessing their athletes’ ability to do so. The 5-10-5 test, also known as the Pro Agility test does just that.
This version by Ledsreact provides an unpredictable stimulus to start off the test, so as to test true agility and not just changes of direction.
Can also be performed in the traditional pre-planned way without external stimulus.
