Introduction
The 40 metres sprint test measures the participant’s time in which they can run 100
metres it’s a very good and effective way too see how fast they are. This test is very
effective way because it’s an easy test too set up and can be used again too avoid
anomalies if for example the participant was tired. Speed is vital for being in a public
service like the Metropolitan police service as they need too be quick and fast off the
mark when chasing criminals. If they didn’t then the criminal could get away and the
police would have more work to do. A good example of an athlete who has a very
good speed would be Didier Drogba who plays centre forward for Chelsea Fc and the
Ivory Coast. His position on the football field requires him to have a great level of
speed in order too score goals. If he did not then he would not be able to get to the
ball before a defender or would get tackled by chasing defenders in attacking
situations.

Conclusion
So from this fitness test we can tell how fast a individual is and also find out about
there body build or how much muscle they have. This test is very useful and
effective as it doesn’t normally produce any anomalies weather it be because they
are tired or the assistant doesn’t stop the stopwatch at the correct time. If I did this
test again I’d analyse more results and try and be faster.
