The 400 m Run Test records the time taken to complete 400 m as fast as possible. MAT describes the 400 m run as a test of speed endurance and anaerobic capacity that also reflects interaction between speed and endurance.  

Current evidence supports describing the 400 m as a high-intensity sprint-en...

The 45-Second Run Test records the distance an athlete covers in 45 seconds at maximal effort. MAT describes it as an anaerobic capacity test scored by distance covered, while Topend Sports describes it as a speed endurance test commonly used by track coaches for 400 m and 800 m runners.

The 100 m Shuttle Test is a shuttle-based field test used to assess anaerobic fitness, repeated sprint ability, speed and fatigue resistance across short directional changes. The current MAT article describes it as a test where athletes complete repeated shuttles totalling 100 m per effort, with com...

The Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test, commonly called the RAST, is a repeated sprint field test used to estimate anaerobic power, mean power, minimum power and fatigue index from six maximal 35 m sprints. The current MAT article describes RAST as a test of anaerobic power and fatigue through repe...
