“…The Change-of-Direction and Acceleration Test (CODAT) was conducted following the previously described procedure (Lockie et al, 2013). Then, the Agility and Skill (AS) test (measuring both ball skills and goal success) was performed in accordance with the methodology described by Kutlu et al (2012). All tests were conducted in the same order as mentioned above.…”

“…However, this test did not include an assessment of ball-shooting skills. Taking these test limitations into consideration, Kutlu et al (2012) developed a combined soccer-specific agility and skill test, including sprinting, change-of-direction, acceleration, deceleration, forward and backward sprinting, and shooting at the goal. This agility and ball-shooting test was deemed valid and reliable for male soccer players; however, it remained uncertain whether it was reliable and valuable for female amateur soccer players.…”

“…Agility tests can be composed of multiple elements, including acceleration, deceleration and retropulsion, which occur during multidirectional, bidirectional or unidirectional movements [131]. The most commonly used agility tests include a pro agility shuttle [126], t -test [132–135], Edgren side-step test [135], zig-zag test [134], the Illinois agility test [134, 135] and the 505 agility test [127, 136–138]. All of these tests are suitable for using in the field because they do not require a lot of space or expensive equipment.…”

Naval cohorts rely heavily on personnel to ensure the efficient running of naval organisations. As such, the wellbeing of personnel is essential. In an occupational setting, naval service personnel experience a variety of physiological and psychological stressors. Most naval services arrange annual physical fitness and body composition tests to ensure the physical readiness of personnel. However, these tests only evaluate a small amount of physiological capabilities. Components such as aerobic and strength capabilities are assessed, however, other components of physical fitness such as speed, agility, anaerobic capacity and flexibility are not. In addition to the physical capabilities, personnel are impacted by fatigue, nutrition and psychological stressors such as copping in stressful situations or dealing with time away from family and friends. This review will discuss the physiological and psychological factors that affect personnel’s wellbeing. In addition to this, it will also evaluate the methods that are used to assess both physiological and psychological wellbeing.

A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T: : O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between anthropometric, physical, technique components and three agility tasks; planned (PAT), unplanned (UNAT) and unplanned soccer specific reactive agility test (USRAT). Eighteen sub-elite soccer players (age 18±1.28 years) attended to the this study. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : Anthropometric measurements, linear sprint speed tests (10m static sprint, flying 20m sprint), leg muscle strength tests (depth jump, isokinetic strength test), and running technique tests (zig-zag test) were performed. Planned agility, unplanned agility and agility with one unplanned change of direction with dribbling were used to evaluate agility performances. To investigate the relationship between PAT, UNAT, USRAT and anthropometric, physical, technique components; Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis were used depending on normal distribution. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : Static 10m sprint and PAT showed a statistically significant correlation (r=0.604). UNAT was significantly correlated to flying 20 m test (r=0.513). None of drop jumps components had significant correlations with the agility tests (p>0,05). Moreover, USRAT showed statistically significant correlation (r=-0.502), (p<0.05) with the number of steps taken at the turn movement and no significant relationship with isokinetic variables (p>0.05). C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : In conclusion, if a soccer-specific task is involved in an agility test, it may be reported that the performance is most likely to be affected by player's technical skill. Moreover, the results of running technique analysis indicate that to be better at agility task players have to be better at making decisions instead of getting closer to the ground at the turning movement.K Ke ey yw wo or rd ds s: : Planned agility; reactive agility; running technique; soccer Ö ÖZ ZE ET T: : A Am ma aç ç: : Çalışmanın amacı, antropometrik, fiziksel, teknik bileşenler ile önceden planlanmış (ÖPÇT), önceden planlanmamış (PÇT) ve futbola özgü reaktif çeviklik testi (FÖRÇT) arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Çalışmaya, 2012-2013 sezonunda Eskişehir Anadolu Üniversitesi 19 yaş altı futbol takımında oynayan 18 futbolcu (yaş=18±1,28 yıl) katılmıştır.

Çeviklik performansı ölçümleri; önceden planlanmış çeviklik testi (ÖPÇT), önceden planlanmamış çeviklik testi (PÇT) ve futbola özgü top sürme becerisiyle önceden planlanmamış yön değişikliği içeren FÖRÇT kullanılarak yapılmıştır. ÖPÇT, PÇT, FÖRÇT ve antropometrik, fiziksel, teknik bileşenler arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek için normal dağılıma bağlı olarak, Pearson ya da Spearman korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır.
