How is the CODS deficit calculated?

CODS deficit = ((COD test time - Linear sprint time) / Linear sprint time) x 100%. Athletes with >15% deficit have COD-specific issues (deceleration, braking mechanics) rather than linear speed limitations.

What COD tests are used to calculate the deficit?

Common pairings: 505 agility test vs. 10m sprint; L-run vs. 20m sprint; pro-agility vs. 40-yard dash. The linear component should approximate the maximum distance of any straight portion in the COD test.

Calculate CODS deficit: (COD time - Linear sprint time) / Linear sprint time x 100%. Higher deficit indicates COD-specific limitation. Elite athletes typically <10% deficit.

How to Use

Enter the values for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate CODS deficit: (COD time - Linear sprint time) / Linear sprint time x 100%. Higher deficit indicates COD-specific limitation. Elite athletes typically <10% deficit. Use the cods deficit index result to inform your calculation.
