20 Metre Standing Sprint
This test reflects combines both "acceleration" and "top-end speed" components of sprinting over a distance which is highly relevant to football.
10 Metre Flying Sprint
This test reflects the "top-end speed" component of sprinting without the acceleration. The runner starts 10 metres back, and the timer only starts after the first 10 Metres.
