“…Through the use of mathematical clustering techniques (e.g., factor analysis), the resulting clusters are used to define the functional abilities common to the tests. Examples of earlier studies include Bass (1939) ;Brogden, Burke, and Lubin (1952); Carpenter (1941); Cousins (1955); Cumbee and Harris (1953); Cumbee, Myer, and Peterson (1957); Cureton (1947) ;Fleishman, Kremer, and Shoup (1961) ;Fleishman, Thomas, and Munroe (1961); Hempel and Fleishman (1 955); Henry (1 960); Highmore (1 956); Ismail and Cowell (1 96 1); Larson (1940Larson ( ,1941; McCloy (1956); McCraw (1949); Metheny (1938);Phillips (1949); Rarick (1937); Seashore (1942); Sills (1950).…”

“…One obvious method to avoid the dilemma is to use some kind of percentage score in order to relate learning to performance level. While this method has received considerable use (7,8 ) , it has been severely criticized by Woodrow (11) …”

“…While investigations of tests of physical performance have identified factors unique to agility tests (2, 3, 5 , 7. 8, 12, IS), others have found factors of speed and strength but have failed to identify the factor of agility (1,4,6,9,10,11,13,14). The conflicting results could be explained by the hypothesis that the variance in the performance of agility tests was primarily the result of an interaction of speed and strength.…”

The purpose of this .stirdy wus to determine whether exercises designed specifically to develop strength and speed were as effective for improving agility as exercises de.signed .specifically to develop agility. The 83 male university subjects were septrroted into five groups with one group each participating in exercise.s tlesigned to improve agility, speed, strength, speed und strength, und the retnuitiitig ,group participating in lectures. Thirty-one tests were ndtninistered before rind after participation in the six-week programs, and the duto were crnalyzed by the unalysis of covariance technique. The group pnrticipating in ugility exercises denionstrated stutistically significant superiority over one or more of the other groups on four of the seven agility te.rts. The only other groirps which demonstrated superiority on any of the agility ti2.st.s were the speed group on the 10-second squat thrust test nnd the control group on the right boomerang run test, thereby leading to the conclusion tlitrt trgility ( ' m i best hc developed in programs designed specificully for tlitrt purpose and i,onseqiiently tlrrrt n unique factor of agility does exist.
