“…Reaction values of football players were detected to be better than volleyball players and handball players [17]. Moreover, in a study that investigated the sprint reaction and visual reaction times of athletes from different branches (volleyball, basketball, handball) authors reported that the best visual reaction time score belonged to handball players, while volleyball players had the worst score [18]. In our study, when branches were compared among each other according to MRT of 10 different trials, arm wrestlers and volleyball players were found to have the shortest MRT among others.…”

Vision is a warning that directs muscles of the body to respond and gives information about where and when to move. Visual reaction time amongst athletes is mainly concerned with how fast an athlete reacts to a visual stimulus. However, little information is available on reaction time (RT), hand-eye coordination among athletes from different sport branches. In many sports branches; RT and hand-eye coordination is regarded as a prerequisite for success. For this reason, the aim of the current study was to investigate RT differences for eye-hand coordination of athletes from different sports and sedentary people. Study involved 48 athletes, aged 18-25 from different branches [basketball (n=6), arm wrestling (n=4), boxing (n=6), football (n=13), handball (n=4), rugby (n=8), volleyball (n=7)] and 9 sedentary people. Hand-eye coordination tests were conducted by using reaction development and training system FitLight Trainer™ (Fitlight Sports Corp., Canada). Test protocol consisted of 10 series of simple motor reaction task to visual stimuli; each of the 10 series included 22 reactions. Variables not fitting normal distribution were compared by Kruskal Wallis H test. Mean reaction time (MRT) was found to be different among branches (p=0.009). RT for 10 different trials were found to be different for 3 rd (p=0.038), 4 th (p=0.047), 5 th (p=0.022), 6 th (p=0.044), 7 th (p=0.041), 8 th (p=0.011), 9 th (p=0.019), 10 th (p=0.023) trials. According to results, it can be said that visual reaction times of field players are very specific and insufficient to distinguish. During trainings, it may be advisable to have reaction time development exercises with specific technical/tactical skills related to branches and positions.

“…Therefore, the phrase "reactive agility" has been introduced to differentiate the tests with or without response to a stimulus [5]. To the best of our knowledge, there have only been a few studies in which an agility test was used that included the cognitive component [9][10][11][12]. The CODS tests are more common, and their structure has been well investigated [1,2,5].…”

The relationship between the change of direction speed (CODS) and sprint speed, jump ability, and muscle strength is well recognized. However, the strength of this relationship may depend on how the test is designed and which parameters are analyzed. This scoping review aims to: (1) map the literature that addresses the relationships between the CODS and physical fitness and performance variables in players of team sports; (2) specify the limiting factors of CODS; and (3) identify gaps in existing literature and propose future research on this topic. Altogether, 22 research studies met the defined inclusion criteria. Most studies revealed significant correlations between CODS and sprint speed, muscle strength, and jump ability. This relationship was mainly demonstrated between CODS and linear sprint speed for 30 m (r = 0.60 to 0.74), 10 m (r = 0.39 to 0.65), maximal leg strength (r = −0.51 to −0.89), particularly explosive (r = −0.44 to −0.81), and reactive strength (r = −0.37 to −0.65). However, the strength of this relationship depends on the type of CODS test, its structure (total running distance, number of changes in direction), and parameters analyzed (height, power, velocity, and relative or absolute values). The recommendation for future research is to focus on choosing the test and its parameters to be close to the fitness demands of the particular sport.

“…As it is a team and struggling sport involving control, it requires high-level sportive performance such as durability, strength, pace, and agility. Today, this requires footballers from all positions to have many motor abilities at a high level (Köklü, Özkan, Alemdaroğlu, & Ersöz, 2009;Akyüz, Uzaldi, Akyüz, & Doğru, 2016;Sevim, 2006;Tatlici & Cakmakci, 2019). In addition, it involves various complex movements within the game such as walking, jogging, dribbling with sprint, shooting, and passing (Eniseler, 1994;Boyle 2004) and these days small times make teams or players winner .…”

This study aims to analyze the effects of 6-week core training on certain biomotor abilities for footballers in the pubertal period. Accordingly, 30 male footballers who attend football courses regularly participated in the study. Footballers were divided into two groups; 15 of them were assigned to the Core Training Group (CTG) (age: 9.73 years; height: 139 cm; and body weight: 33.66 kg.) while 15 of them were assigned to the Conventional Training Group (CONTG) (age: 10.06 years; height: 139 cm; and body weight: 35.32 kg). While CONTG was applying the traditional training protocol, CTG additionally applied core strength exercises (two days a week for 10-15 min.). The selected biomotor tests were applied to both groups before and after the 6-week application. Between pre-and post-test values in the CTG, a statistically significant difference was found in flamingo balance, core stabilization balance, hand grip strength, 30 sec. abdominal crunch and 30 m sprint tests (p<0.05). In the CONTG, a statistically significant difference was found in 30-second push-up test values between pre-and post-tests (p<0.05). Comparing the pre-tests between groups, a statistically significant difference was found in flamingo balance and vertical jump tests (p<0.05). Also, comparing the post-tests, a statistically significant difference was found in core stabilization balance and vertical jump tests (p<0.05).As a result of this study, it was found that core training to be performed in addition to the traditional football training positively contributed to basic motor development.
