5-10-5 shuttle percentile
Your 5-10-5 shuttle ranked against all adults of your age and sex — and against NCAA Division I athletes. Pro-agility: start on the middle line, sprint 5 yards, touch the line, 10 yards back, touch, 5 yards through the start. Hand-timed from your first movement; best of two in each direction. If you used timing gates, subtract 0.2 s.

5-10-5 shuttle — NCAA Division I athletes
Pooled across sports with published testing data, weighted by the number of D1 athletes in each sport.
| 10th | 25th | 50th | 75th | 90th | 95th | 99th | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men | 4.69 s | 4.53 s | 4.35 s | 4.18 s | 4.03 s | 3.94 s | 3.76 s |
| Women | 5.08 s | 4.93 s | 4.77 s | 4.61 s | 4.47 s | 4.38 s | 4.21 s |
Men: Modeled — estimated from indirect evidence; treat as an informed estimate. Electronically timed NCAA D1 samples for football, basketball and baseball (Hoffman 2006, as reprinted by the NSCA), converted to hand-timed equivalents. The original tables are print-only and could not be re-verified online.
Women: Modeled — estimated from indirect evidence; treat as an informed estimate. D1 team studies with timing gates (soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, basketball), converted to hand-timed equivalents.
5-10-5 shuttle questions
What is a good 5-10-5 shuttle for a 30-year-old man?
For a 30-year-old man of median US size (179 lb), 5.33 s beats half of them, 5.00 s reaches the 75th percentile, and 4.71 s reaches the 90th of all men that age. The calculator adjusts these for your own bodyweight where the evidence supports it.
What is a good 5-10-5 shuttle for a 30-year-old woman?
For a 30-year-old woman of median US size (153 lb), 6.10 s beats half of them, 5.67 s reaches the 75th percentile, and 5.31 s reaches the 90th of all women that age. The calculator adjusts these for your own bodyweight where the evidence supports it.
How does that compare with D1 athletes?
Division I is a different population: our estimated median NCAA Division I man is at 4.35 s, which would be the 97th percentile among all men aged 18-29; and our estimated median NCAA Division I woman is at 4.77 s, which would be the 98th percentile among all women aged 18-29. The D1 comparison is raw — no age or size adjustment — so it is you against the athletes as they are.
How accurate are these 5-10-5 shuttle percentiles?
Modeled — estimated from indirect evidence; treat every number here as an informed estimate, not a measurement. Modeled: no population data exists for this test. Built from small samples of recreationally active adults, with the general population set slower. Modeled percentiles have no validated error margin. Results past the 99th percentile are shown as 99+ because the data cannot support more precision.
