What is the average time for collegiate male athletes on the T-Test?

• A. 10 sec
• B. 9 sec
• C. 11 sec
• D. 12 sec

Answer: (A)

The T-test measures agility and multi-directional speed, combining sprinting with quick changes of direction. In this test, an athlete must accelerate, shuffle laterally, and transition through different planes of movement in one sequence, so the time reflects overall agility rather than raw straight‑line speed alone.

The typical average time for collegiate male athletes under standard testing conditions is about 10 seconds. This sits in the middle of the common range, because it represents an overall balance of acceleration, directional control, and speed. Times faster than 10 seconds (around 9 seconds) indicate exceptional agility, while times slower (11 or 12 seconds) suggest below-average agility for college athletes. Keep in mind individual sport demands and conditioning can shift these numbers, but 10 seconds is the conventional average.
