Repeated changes of direction under fatigue define many sports. The 100 m shuttle test challenges both speed and fatigue resistance.
Test name: 100 m Shuttle Test
Purpose: Assess anaerobic fitness
What it assesses: Speed and fatigue
Equipment: Cones, stopwatch
A shuttle-based sprint test where athletes complete repeated 100 m efforts.
Measures:
Sprint endurance
Change of direction ability
Fatigue
Completion time and fatigue response.
Run repeated shuttles totalling 100 m per effort.
Faster time = better performance
Drop-off = fatigue indicator
Good when standardised.
Sport conditioning and testing.
Time, repetitions, fatigue notes.
What does it measure? Anaerobic fitness
Simple, effective field test.
