I've been practicing the shuttle run, but so far the best time I've completed it in was 9.02 secs. On average I finish the exercise between 9.2 and 9.3 secs. I do not want to have an average or below average score on any part of the test.
What are some tips for the shuttle run in general? Specifically, what are some good tips for the turn-around parts? It seems that whenever I go to turn around, I slide a few feet from the momentum and it slows me down. I'm practicing on the street btw.
On the basketball throw, I've tried two different throwing techniques: a side-armed throw while cupping the ball against my arm and a standard, wind-back throw. It seems like I can launch the ball a few feet further when I throw it overhand. However, the best throw I seem to get is about 65 feet, 60 on average. Any technique to improve my throws? I'm also only using a 27.5 diameter basketball because I do not have a 29.5 diameter one. I'm kind of worried that when I use the standard sized basketball I will throw even shorter of a distance.
Any tips please?
Thanks
