Analyzing the relationship between anthropometric and motor indices with basketball specific pre-planned and non-planned agility performances

Agility Testing in Youth Football (Soccer)Players; Evaluating Reliability, Validity, and Correlates of Newly Developed Testing Protocols

“…Therefore, a clear distinction between CODS (i.e., pre-planned agility or non-reactive agility), and reactive agility-RAG (i.e., non-planned agility) is required, especially in detecting cognitive (i.e., perceptual, decision making) and physical (i.e., conditioning capacities, body indices, technique etc.) related determinants of agility [14]. Indeed, while various conditioning capacities (i.e., sprinting speed, jumping performance) were more strongly associated with CODS than with RAG, perceptual and cognitive capacities were identified as being significant predictors of RAG in team sport athletes [14,15].…”

Indeed, while various conditioning capacities (i.e., sprinting speed, jumping performance) were more strongly associated with CODS than with RAG, perceptual and cognitive capacities were identified as being significant predictors of RAG in team sport athletes [14,15]. Meanwhile, there is an evident lack of studies which examined factors associated with CODS and RAG in football.…”

The Relationship Between Reactive Agility and Change of Direction Speed in Professional Female Basketball and Handball Players

“…However, the large diversity of the information obtained based on research concerning the relationship between CODS and RA and the increasing number of proposed tests require a search for the best correlations between the results obtained in the tests and the results determining COD, accelerations, and deaccelerations during games. Although physical activities (with regard to redirecting total body momentum in a new direction as quickly as possible) constitute a large proportion of the time needed to complete RA and CODS tasks, perceptual decision-making processes may alter the level of correlation between tests (Pehar et al, 2018 ; Krolo et al, 2020 ). This should affect the level of correlations between CODS and RA.…”

“…The CODS and RA are the important components of motor performance of a team sports player, and therefore the relationships between them, as well as with other components, should be explored (Pehar et al, 2018 ). The CODS and RA may be impacted by other factors, such as: anthropometric parameters, training experience, playing level or player position, which should be considered when evaluating these attributes (Sekulic et al, 2014b ; Scanlan et al, 2015 ; Coh et al, 2018 , 2019 ; Pehar et al, 2018 ; Barrera-Domínguez et al, 2020 ; Popowczak et al, 2020 ). Elite players should demonstrate a high level of CODS and RA performance, which allows them to act effectively during a game in planned situations and in response to a sudden external stimulus (e.g., passing the ball, approaching an opponent).…”
