ILLINOIS AGILITY TEST

Start with your back facing the test and tap the home pod to start. Turn around and sprint towards the pod that lights up. Tap the pod and run back to the starting cone and begin weaving through the cones in a figure-eight pattern. After which, sprint diagonally to tap out the other pod and back to the home pod to complete the test. The goal is to go as fast as you can. Only one attempt is allowed.

REACTIVE INTELLIGENCE WALL

This test uses the same Reactive Intelligence Wall as professional athletes in F1, the NFL and NBA. The Cognition test measures reaction time, decision making, and attention skills.

The athlete will then hit on any pod to start the test. When the pods light up, tap out as many blue coloured pods. The test will end after 30 correct pods are tapped. A foul strike will occur if a distraction pod is tapped, negatively affecting the athlete’s ranking in the event of a tie.
