Worked Example

A male athlete completes the Illinois Agility Test in 16.0 seconds.

test_type = 1time_sec = 16gender = 1
  1. 01Test: Illinois Agility Test.
  2. 02Time: 16.0 seconds.
  3. 03Excellent benchmark (male) = 15.2 seconds.
  4. 04Average benchmark (male) = 16.7 seconds.
  5. 05Percentage of excellent = 15.2 / 16.0 x 100 = 95.0%.
  6. 06Rating: Good (between excellent and average).
