Complete a shuttle run within a time limit
When to use this goal
For students who are slow to change direction, who fall or overshoot the line when turning, or whose shuttle run time is far outside the class range. Base the choice on a timed shuttle run during baseline; agility supports every chasing and dodging game in PE.
- Baseline
- Time two trials on each of two days and use the median. Note where time is lost: slow turns, stopping to pick up the block, or a slow run between lines. Each points to a different drill. Keep the course length and markers identical.
- Tips
- Most fitness assessments include a shuttle run, so the format is familiar. Practice turns separately. For students with balance concerns, the PT may set a wider turning area or allow walking turns at first.
- Limits
- Hand timing has about half a second of error. Surface and footwear change times; note them. Students who use mobility devices need a propulsion version designed by adapted PE.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a 30-foot shuttle run course with two blocks to carry, during the PE fitness unit, the student will independently complete the shuttle run, touching or carrying each marker as required, without falling within 15 seconds, in 3 of 4 consecutive weekly trials, as measured by duration recording collected weekly during PE.
Baseline: 22 seconds.
