Which description best fits the MAS test (Max Anaerobic Sprint)?

• A. Any piece of equipment and 5 minutes to cover as much ground as possible
• B. Fixed equipment and 60 seconds
• C. Treadmill only, 10 minutes
• D. Bodyweight circuit lasting 15 minutes

Answer: (A)

The MAS test focuses on maximal sprint power and anaerobic work capacity over a short, all-out effort, allowing you to use any piece of equipment and push to cover as much distance as possible in a five-minute window. This setup measures how much ground you can sprint or move quickly when effort is maximal, regardless of modality, which is exactly what the name Max Anaerobic Sprint implies. The other descriptions hinder that goal: fixing the equipment or limiting to treadmill use narrows how you express maximal sprint capability; a ten-minute duration or a longer bodyweight circuit shifts the test toward steady endurance or different energy-system contributions rather than peak anaerobic sprint performance.
