The 30-meter sprint test is used to measure the speed of an athlete, which is the quickness of the movement of a participant’s limb, either the arms or the legs.
The required resources to partake in this assessment will be a non-slip surface, marking cones, a stopwatch, tape to measure the distance required and an assistant.
To begin with the subject would be required to sprint 60 meters. A 60-meter straight line is measured out, with a cone to mark 30 meters and the end: at 60 meters. As soon as the assistant states the correct starting commands, from a flying start the subject begins to sprint across the measured distance, however the subject should always begin the test at a flying start; they should already be sprinting before they cross the starting line.

A 100m or 200m sprinter would use this test to improve their speed as their event requires them to have a large quantity of speed at an instant rate, the quicker the athlete can accelerate and keep sprinting, the more opponents they would overtake and have a higher chance of winning competitions.
This test has a few positives as it quite simple set up with only a minimal amount of equipment is required to participate. As long as there is the right amount of space with the extra room to begin on a flying start, this test could be set up almost anywhere.
However, to participate in this test an assistant is required to time the sprint to make the results fair and accurate; without a side line assistant, this test cannot be conducted. Also, if there is not space before and after the 30-meter area, it cannot be conducted as this test requires a flying start to be an accurate test, and if the area after the second marked line is too small the performer would be forced to slow down before the end; making the results inaccurate.
My results: 4.5
