Comparison of three agility tests with male servicemembers: Edgren Side Step Test, T-Test, and Illinois Agility Test
Michele A. Raya, PhD, PT, SCS, ATC, et al.
We established the reliability and validity of
three similar yet distinct tests that assess agility performance,
called the Edgren Side Step Test, T-Test,
and Illinois Agility Test, in young, fit Active Duty
servicemembers (SMs). We found these tests to be
reliable in that two clinicians can administer each of
these tests to the same SM and be confident that they
are scoring the performance in the same way. It was
found that all three tests assess different aspects of
agility, and together have the potential to be used as
a comprehensive assessment of high-level mobility
for sport and tactical activities.
