Lane Agility Test

Summary

In the video titled "Lane Agility Test," Richard Linen introduces the Lane Agility Drill, a widely used test in sports like basketball. The drill aims to assess a player's speed, body control, and agility, which is the ability to change direction quickly.

Drill Setup

To set up the drill, participants need six cones and a stopwatch. Three cones are placed at the foul line and three at the baseline of a basketball court. A measuring tape marks the starting point at the first cone and the finish at the last cone.

Drill Sequence

The drill begins with the athlete standing with one foot behind the starting line, ensuring no movement before the start. The sequence of the test involves:

• Sprinting forward to the baseline cone
• Performing a side shuffle to the right across the baseline
• Backpedaling to the foul line
• Finishing with another side shuffle

The test is then repeated in reverse direction.

Trial and Scoring

Participants are allowed two trials to complete the test, and they record their best time. A scoring table categorizes results based on gender and playing position.
