“…However, it must be noted that there was no significant difference between the mean AS times for test-to-retest and with other sprint and agility tests (paired t-test p > 0.01) (Table 1). In line with our findings, some previous research has found good reliability for measures of linear and change-of-direction agility performance in other tests, including IAR, CODAT and T-Drill tests (Hachana et al, 2013; Hopkins, 2004; Kowacks et al, 1999; Lockie et al, 2013; Oliver and Meyers, 2009). Indeed, the acceptable level of relative reliability, and thus the degree to which the test is useful, is also in the ‘acceptable-to-good’ rating for the AS test and other measured tests for female soccer players.…”

“…Time was recorded using a timing lights system (Smartspeed, Fusion Sports, Coopers Plains, Australia), which has previously been found to be reliable when recording speed and agility tests (24). Gates were placed at 0, 5, 10, and 30 m at a height of 1.2 m (20) to measure the 0-to 5-, 0-to 10-, and 0-to 30-m intervals.…”

A characteristic of cricket sprints, which may require specific assessment, is that players carry a bat when running between the wickets. This study analyzed the relationships between general and specific cricket speed tests, which included 30-m sprint (0- to 5-, 0- to 10-, 0- to 30-m intervals; general); 505 change-of-direction speed test with left and right foot turns (general); 17.68-m sprint without and with (WB) a cricket bat (0- to 5-, 0- to 17.68-m intervals; specific); and run-a-three (specific). Seventeen male cricketers (age = 24.4 ± 5.0 years; height = 1.84 ± 0.06 m; mass = 86.9 ± 13.9 kg) completed the tests, which were correlated (p < 0.05) to determine if they assessed different physical qualities. The subjects were also split into faster and slower groups based on the 17.68-m WB sprint time. A 1-way analysis of variance ascertained between-group differences in the tests (p < 0.05). The 17.68-m WB sprint correlated with the 0- to 10- and 0- to 30-m sprint intervals (r = 0.63-0.78) but not with the 0- to 5-m interval. The run-a-three correlated with the 505 and 17.68-m WB sprint (r = 0.62-0.90) but not with the 0- to 5-m interval. Poor relationships between the 0- to 5-m interval and cricket-specific tests may be because of the bat inclusion, as the sprints with a bat began with the subject ahead of the start line, and bat placed behind it. Furthermore, although the 17.68-m WB sprint and run-a-three differentiated faster and slower subjects, the 0- to 5-m sprint interval, and left foot 505, did not. The results indicated the necessity for cricket-specific speed testing. The 17.68-m WB sprint and run-a-three are potentially valuable tests for assessing cricket-specific speed. A bat should be incorporated when testing the running between the wickets ability.

“…TESTING Agility tests were conducted using Smartspeed (Fusion Sport, Australia) photoelectrical timing gates to provide a flashing light as a generic stimulus for the reactive tests. 9 Subjects completed two repetitions of all tests and the best score was recorded for statistical analysis. Subjects performed all tests in a random order.…”

“…In addition to these correlations, Buttifant, Graham and Cross compared the change of direction speed involving four direction changes and a 20 m linear sprint performances and found low correlations (r=0.33). 8,9 Moreover, Young et al found low and non-significant correlations (r = 0.34) between 8 m sprint with directional changes and an isokinetic squat for power set at 40 degrees per second. 10 In contrast to these results, moderate and significant (r =-0.60, p<0.05) relationships between single leg isokinetic squat strength and a complex multidirectional change of direction speed task was reported However, Young et al found a low (r = 0.36) and non-significant relationship between a drop jump and 20 m sprint with three directional changes.…”

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.
