  1. AIS Chapter 12Testing and training agility Tim J. Gabbett and Jeremy M. Sheppard

  2. Definition of agility • Traditional definition: ability to change direction rapidly and accurately • Influenced by physical and biomechanical (running efficiency) qualities • Training also focused on these areas • Contemporary definition: a rapid, whole-body, change of direction or speed in response to a sport-specific stimulus • An open skill, perceptual skill

  3. Theoretical model of agility components

  4. Perceptual vs physical ability in agility • Simple traditional agility tests fail to assess the perceptual components of agility • Contemporary test: reactive agility test • High-skilled athletes show better perceptual qualities • Superior anticipatory skill • No significant difference in physical abilities, speed, change of direction speed

  5. Agility tests • L-run • 505 • T-test • Reactive agility test • Involve a tester/investigator • Change direction according to the moves by tester • Facilitated by high-speed video • How to interpret test results?
