Manurewa - Speed & Agility Program (Wednesday Ages 8-10) - Testing Results - Term 1, 2026

At the completion of our Term 1 program, athletes in the Pakuranga 8–10 group completed post-testing to compare against their Week 1 baseline.

This testing provides insight into the development of key athletic qualities, including:

• Sprint performance (20m)

• Change of direction (5–10–5)

• Lower-body power (Broad Jump & CMJ)

• Reactive strength (RSI)

All results below show Week 1 → Week 8 values, along with percentage change across the program (positive % indicates improvement).

How to Interpret Results

• Sprint & agility: Lower time = improvement

• Broad Jump, CMJ & RSI: Higher value = improvement

Results Table

Athlete	20m Sprint	5–10–5	Broad Jump	CMJ	RSI
Amelia F	4.209 → 4.091 (+2.80%)	6.321 → 6.238 (+1.31%)	1.51 → 1.68 (+11.26%)	29.2 → 30.2 (+3.42%)	N/A → 0.52

Standout Performance

Amelia F

• 20m Sprint: +2.80%

• Broad Jump: +11.26%

• CMJ: +3.42%

Clear improvements in both sprint performance and lower-body power, indicating better force production and movement efficiency.

Key Insights

Speed Development

Improvement in 20m sprint time reflects:

• Better acceleration mechanics

• Improved force application into the ground

• Increased confidence in sprinting

Power Development (CMJ & Broad Jump)

Notable improvements in jumping performance indicate:

• Increased lower-body strength

• Improved coordination and timing

• Enhanced explosive ability

Agility Development

Slight improvement in 5–10–5 reflects:

• Better control when changing direction

• Improved movement awareness

Reactive Strength (RSI)

RSI was introduced during post-testing:

• Provides a baseline for future development

• Reflects ability to absorb and reapply force

Important Context

At this stage of development, improvements are often driven by:

• Increased coordination

• Learning movement patterns

• Improved confidence

Testing is only one part of development.

Across the program, there were clear improvements in:

• Movement quality

• Sprint technique

• Jumping and landing mechanics

Final Note

This is a strong foundation stage of development.

Amelia demonstrated clear progress across key athletic qualities, particularly:

• Speed

• Power

• Movement efficiency

These qualities will continue to develop with consistent, structured training.
