VIDEO 12. Edgren Side-Step Test (ESST)

Five parallel lines should be stuck on the ground, spaced 1 meter apart, so that the distance between the extreme lines is 4 meters. The athlete stands on the outside of the left-most stuck line and, on the signal, begins to walk towards the right-most line, crosses it with both feet, and changes the direction of movement. The athlete tries to cover as much distance as possible in 10 seconds. The result is the number of 1-meter sections covered. The task is failed if the athlete does not cross the extreme line with the inside foot, crosses the legs or moves forward instead of to the side.
