The Illinois Agility Test is used to assess which pair of abilities?

• A. Grace and quickness
• B. Jump height and distance
• C. Endurance and flexibility
• D. Strength and power

Answer: (A)

The Illinois Agility Test is all about how quickly and smoothly a person can change direction while moving. That combination of rapid movement and controlled, coordinated footwork is what we call agility. So the pair that fits best is grace and quickness—grace captures the smooth, coordinated movement needed to weave around cones and cut sharply, while quickness captures the speed and rapid transitions required to complete the course efficiently. The other options point to traits the test doesn’t primarily measure: endurance and flexibility are about sustaining effort and range of motion, jump height and distance focus on vertical or horizontal power, and strength and power refer to force output rather than the quick, controlled directional changes that define agility.
