The Illinois Agility Test measures which two athletic abilities?

• A. Grace and quickness
• B. Flexibility and strength
• C. Speed and strength
• D. Flexibility and endurance

Answer: (A)

The test is about moving quickly through a course that requires rapid starts, stops, and changes of direction. That combination is best described as quickness (speed) paired with smooth, coordinated movement through those changes—often thought of as graceful execution. Together, quickness captures how fast you move, and grace reflects how efficiently and fluidly you navigate the turns and pivots that agility demands.

Other options don’t fit as well because this test isn’t primarily about how flexible you are, how long you can endure activity, or how much strength you can produce. It focuses on how quickly you can move and how well you control your body while changing direction.
