Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Aim – Establish reliability and convergent construct validity of Edgren Side Step Test (ESST), T-Test, and Illinois Agility Test (IAT) in young, nondisabled, physically active male servicemembers (SMs). Relevance – Performance-based outcomes have been used to assess agility in athletes and nonathletes. However, reliability and validity have not been established.

A comparison of three agility tests with male servicemembers: Edgren Side Step Test, T-Test, and Illinois Agility Test. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(7):951–60. Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Results No significant differences between ESST (p = 0.10), T-Test (p = 0.09), and IAT (p = 0.23). Reliability: – Excellent interrater. – Moderate to good test-retest. Relationship between tests: – Good positive between IAT and T-Test (r = 0.76, p < 0.001). – Moderate negative between ESST and both T-Test (r = –0.69, p < 0.001) and IAT (r = –0.65, p < 0.001).

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Conclusion These tests are valid measures of agility. They uniquely assess movement in different planes, thus providing a comprehensive assessment of high-level mobility.
