Curved/Curvilinear Sprints (Beta)
Measure ability to maintain speed while sprinting along a curved path.
Overview
The Curved Sprint Test measures an athlete's ability to maintain speed along a pre-defined curved path (e.g., middle circle or penalty arc in soccer). It can be performed in both directions to assess symmetry. This tests control and speed maintenance through a continuous turn, more closely replicating many game situations.
Key Benefits:
Assess speed maintenance on curved trajectories
Evaluate balance, coordination, and trunk stability during turns
More closely replicates game-specific running patterns
Test symmetry by running curves in both directions
How it works
Measures your ability to maintain speed while changing direction gradually along a curved path. Evaluates balance, coordination, and trunk stability during continuous directional changes. This sport-specific agility assessment closely replicates real game scenarios where athletes must navigate curved running patterns while maintaining optimal speed and control.
Curved Sprint Test
Common sports and why
Soccer players benefit from curved sprint analysis for attacking runs around defenders and defensive covering movements. Rugby athletes use it to optimize running lines for both attack and defense strategies. Basketball players improve their ability to move efficiently around screens and navigate crowded court spaces while maintaining speed.
