Question

The purpose of (4x10 Meters) Shuttle Run Test is to determine-

• A. Explosive leg strength
• B. Agility and speed
• C. Upper-body flexibility
• D. Speed and endurance

Hint:

The test has quick turns between two lines 10 m apart. Think of the fitness component that turns and starts fast.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The Shuttle Run is a fitness test in the school physical fitness battery. Each test measures one fitness component, so we must match the test with its component.

Step 2: Key Approach:
In the 4x10 m Shuttle Run, the student runs back and forth between two lines 10 metres apart and moves blocks. The student has to start, stop and turn again and again.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Quick starts, sharp turns and fast direction changes need agility and speed. So this test measures agility and speed.

Step 4: Check option (1):
Explosive leg strength is measured by jump tests such as the Standing Broad Jump. So (1) is wrong.

Step 5: Check option (3):
Upper-body flexibility is measured by tests like Shoulder and Wrist Rotation. So (3) is wrong.

Step 6: Check option (4):
Speed and endurance together are not the aim here. Endurance needs a long effort like a 600 m run. The shuttle run is short. So (4) is wrong.

Final Answer:
The 4x10 m Shuttle Run test measures agility and speed. This is option (2). \[ \boxed{\text{Option 2}} \]
