“…Research has shown an explained variance of 61% to 79% between the 505 and IAT tests (r = 0.78 to 0.89, p < 0.01) [18], while Raya et al [19] showed an explained variance of 56% between the TT and the IAT (r = 0.75, p < 0.001). Furthermore, a study by Cinarli et al [20] on the TT showed an explained variance of 0% to 13% between the IAT, 505 test, and GewT test (−0.053–0.365; p = 0.164–0.846), and an explained variance of 26% between the 505 and IAT tests (r = 0.52; p = 0.041). These results are supported by Hachana et al [21], who also found an explained variance of 9% between the IAT and the 505 tests (r = 0.31; p = 0.002), and Draper and Lancaster [13], who show an explained variance of 6% between the IAT and the 505 tests (r = 0.25; p < 0.05).…”

Change of direction (COD) is a performance-limiting factor in team sports. However, there are no exact definitions describing which physical abilities limit COD performance in soccer. Nevertheless, different COD tests are used or have been recommended as being equally effective in the professional practice of measuring COD performance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between different COD tests, and to test the independence and generalizability of these COD tests in soccer. As such, 27 elite youth soccer players were randomly recruited and were tested in different COD tests (i.e., Illinois agility test (IAT), T agility test (TT), 505 agility test (505), Gewandtheitslauf (GewT), triangle test (Tri-t), and square test (SQT)). Bivariate Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationships between the COD tests. The Benjamini–Hochberg method was used to control for the false discovery rate of the study at 0.05. This investigation calculated explained variances of 10% to 55% between performances in the different COD tests. This suggested that the tests covered different aspects or task-specific characteristics of the COD. Therefore, coaches and sport scientists should review and select different tests with a logical validity, based on the requirement profiles of the corresponding sport.

“…For example, in male soccer players, a low correlation (r = 0.33) between 20-m straight sprint and 20-m zigzag tests has been reported [11] as well as in comparing 10-m straight sprint, flying 20-m, and 100° zigzag tests (r = 0.35 and r = 0.46, respectively) [12]. By contrast, moderate positive correlations were found between 10, 20, and 30 m sprint performances and the Illinois agility test, but not with the t-test [13]. In addition, Köklü et al [14] observed a moderate correlation (r = 0.56) between 10 m straight-sprint and 30 m straight-sprint performance, and a strong correlation between 10 m straight-sprint and zigzag tests composed of four 5-m sections set out at 100° angles (r = 0.74), whereas zigzag agility performance with the ball was not correlated with 20-m and 30-m sprint times in young soccer players.…”

Soccer-specific training is easily associable to players’ sprint abilities demonstrated during a match. However, no clear evidence has been provided to show whether this approach is more effective than training focused on running techniques for sprints in prepubescent soccer players. Thus, the present study aimed at comparing the effects of these two training approaches on prepubescent soccer players’ sprint performances. Ninety-five players (10±2 years) competing in local (Piedmont, Italy) Under-9 (N=21), -10 (N=24), -11 (N=25) and -13 (N=25) championships were recruited for the study. Sixty-three and 32 players were included in the running training group (RTG) and soccer-specific group (SSG), respectively. Before (PRE) and after (POST) the training period (2 weekly sessions for 12 weeks), sprint abilities were evaluated by means of four 20-m sprint tests: linear sprint (20-mL), linear sprint with ball possession (20-mLB), sprint with change of direction (20-mCoD), sprint with change of direction and with ball possession (20-mCoDB). A linear mixed model was applied to evaluate differences (P≤0.05) between the RTG and SSG in the four tests and categories, comparing PRE and POST performances. A main effect emerged for the interaction between groups, sessions (p=0.014; Between PRE ES range=0.03, 0.85; Within PRE-POST ES range=-0.45, 0.09), highlighting a POST improvement of RTG for the 20-mLB (Δ=-7.9%; ES=0.85) and 20-mCoDB (Δ=-5.9%; ES=0.33). In contrast, no improvements emerged for the SSG. The present findings indicate that the training approach of the RTG is more able to improve prepubescent soccer players’ sprint performances than that of the SSG, with the emphasis on ball possession executions, which are particularly game-related.

“…There are several studies that analyzed the relationship between different parameters and COD ability in men's soccer (Çinarli, Kafkas, & Kafkas, 2018;R. Hammami, Granacher, Pizzolato, Chaouachi, & Chtara, 2017;Loturco, Jeffreys, et al, 2020;Raya-González et al, 2020), while few authors investigated female soccer players (Kobal et al, 2021;Lockie, Dawes, & Jones, 2018;Pardos-Mainer et al, 2021) or other female athletes, such as volleyball, handball, basketball, and softball players (Banda, Beitzel, Kammerer, Salazar, & Lockie, 2019;Lockie, Dawes, & Callaghan, 2020;Nimphius, Mcguigan, & Newton, 2010;Pereira et al, 2018).…”

The purpose of this study was to present the physical performance of elite female soccer players and to analyze the relationship between jump performance, speed and COD ability. Sixteen elite female soccer players (age: 20.05±2.85; height: 166.47±4.83cm; body weight: 60.52±8.30kg, BMI 21.88±2.86) from a women's club who played the highest rank of the competition took part in this study. The jump, speed and COD abilities of each player were determined using: (1) the Squat jump (SJ), (2) Countermovement Jump (CMJ), countermovement jump with arm swing (CMJA), (2) running speed at 30-m with passing time at 10m and 20m, (3) the pro agility test (pro), (4) zig-zag test (zig-zag), (5) 9-6-3-6-3 sprint (9-6-3-6-9). The results of Pearson’s correlation indicated moderate significant relationships between the 10m running speed and pro agility test (r=0.59; p<0.01), as well as the zig-zag test (r=0.55; p<0.01), and also between the 30m and all COD tests (pro agility r=0.66; p<0.01, zig-zag r=0.59; p<0.01 and 9-6-3-6-9 r=0.58; p<0.05). A small correlation (r=0.49; p<0.03) was noticed between the 10m running test and 9-6-3-6-9 agility test, and also between the CMJA (r=0.45; p<0.05) and the 9-6-3-6-9 agility test. The findings of the present study indicated a significant correlation between speed and all of the COD tests, additionally between the CMJA and 9-6-3-6-9 COD test. Therefore, elite female soccer players with higher maximum acceleration rates and speed tend to perform better in change of direction tests. On the other hand, jump performance does not significantly correlate with COD ability.
