Agility Test Score Calculator

Work out agility test score instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Agility Test Score Calculator

The 5-10-5 pro agility shuttle covers 20 yards with two full direction changes. Subtracting a straight-line 20 yard sprint time gives the change of direction deficit, which isolates turning ability from raw speed. A 4.60 second shuttle against a 3.00 second sprint gives a 1.60 second deficit - typical, and improvable through eccentric strength work.

Formulas

Change of direction deficit

deficit = shuttle time - straight sprint time over the same distance

Shuttle distance

5 + 10 + 5 yards = 20 yards total

Worked example

With the default values below, Agility Test Score Calculator returns Shuttle Time of 4.60. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
  • This is an estimate from population-average equations, not a medical or diagnostic assessment. Individual results vary with genetics, training history and technique. Seek advice from a qualified coach or clinician before making significant changes to training.
  • This is an estimate for general information and not professional medical advice. See the full disclaimer for the limits that apply to this kind of calculator.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why measure the deficit rather than just the shuttle time?

Because a fast shuttle time can come from raw speed alone. The deficit shows whether turning technique is actually good.

How do I improve the deficit?

Eccentric and isometric strength for deceleration, plus technical work on foot placement and hip orientation entering the turn.
