“…; Sheppard and Young ; Bradshaw et al. ). Within Australian Rules football, decision‐making skills were found to be the important agility enablers as they help offensive players successfully evade opponents (Bradshaw et al.…”

“…Some agility tests indicate that high-performance sports players initiate a change in direction movement before the opponent's ball release due to anticipation of the other players' movements (Sheppard and Young 2006). Visual search and anticipation research have also shown that highly skilled athletes are able to successfully predict the action of an opponent before it is carried out (Bradshaw et al 2010). The national protocol for the assessment of agility performance in team-sport athletes also recognizes the role of alertness and suggests that the athletes' ability to successfully use agility maneuvers in the actual game depends on factors such as visual processing, timing, reaction time, perception, and anticipation (Ellis et al 2000).…”

Although agility has been identified as one of the most important issues of contemporary supply chain management, the theoretical basis for understanding supply chain agility is fragmented. This research addresses the gap related to the ambiguity surrounding the dimensions and definitions of firm supply chain agility by employing a multidisciplinary literature review to gain an in‐depth understanding of agility. In addition, a comprehensive measurement instrument that draws on the foundations of social and life science theory is developed and empirically validated. The results of the research indicate that firm supply chain agility is composed of five distinct dimensions including alertness, accessibility, decisiveness, swiftness, and flexibility. Based on these elements, a comprehensive definition of firm supply chain agility is developed for further theoretical testing of the concept.

“…A valid, reliable, and practical tool by which to measure reactive agility in American football players is needed. Attempts have been made to devise such a tool in a number of sports including netball, Australian Rules football, rugby league, and rugby union (3,6,8,19,24,27,30). Limitations exist with respect to all currently available reactive agility tests.…”

“…A number of tests of reactive agility have recently been described in the literature (3,6,8,19,24,27,30). These tests use various stimuli to induce changes in movement direction and speed.…”

“…In a number of these tests, not only is total movement time and response accuracy being recorded, but based on post hoc video analysis, decision time is also being determined. In the development of these tests, research has often examined the relationships between reactive agility ability and change-of-direction ability and linear speed in attempts to determine shared common variance (3,9,19,27,29). Research indicates that reactive agility ability is a unique attribute (6,9,24).…”

Change-of-Direction Biomechanics: Is What’s Best for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Prevention Also Best for Performance?

Change-of-direction maneuvers (e.g., side-step cutting) are an important aspect of performance in multi-directional sports, but these maneuvers are also associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Despite this, the impact of biomechanics on ACL injury risk and performance is often examined in isolation. The purpose of this review was to examine the alignment between biomechanical recommendations for ACL injury prevention and performance with regard to change-of-direction maneuvers. Several studies linking change-of-direction biomechanics to both ACL injury risk and performance were examined. A degree of overlap was identified between biomechanical strategies that could both reduce ACL injury risk and enhance performance during change-of-direction maneuvers. A fore-foot footfall pattern along with trunk rotation and lateral flexion in the intended cutting direction were identified as biomechanical strategies that could both reduce potentially hazardous knee joint moments and enhance change-of-direction speed. Minimizing knee valgus during change-of-direction maneuvers may also reduce ACL injury risk, with this biomechanical strategy found to have no impact on performance. Certain biomechanical strategies proposed to reduce ACL injury risk were linked to reduced change-of-direction performance. A narrow foot placement and "soft" landings with greater knee flexion were identified as ACL injury prevention strategies that could have a negative impact on performance. The findings of this review emphasize the need to consider both ACL injury risk and performance when examining the biomechanics of change-of-direction maneuvers.
