Change of Direction “a rapid whole-body movement with change of velocity or direction that is pre-planned.” sheppard and Young (2006)

AGILITITY “A rapid whole-body movement with change of velocity or direction in response to a stimulus. This definition respects the cognitive components of visual scanning an decision making that contribute to agility performance in sport” sheppard and young (2006)

Sheppard and Young (2006). AGILITY Perceptual & Decision Making Anticipation Visual Scanning Pattern Recognition Knowledge of Situation

Agility Classification  Simple: No spatial or temporal uncertain  Pre-planned drill or routine (5-10-5)  Temporal: Temporal uncertainty, but movement is preplanned (spatial confidence)  The start of a 100m. Stimulus is the starting pistol. Distance and direction is certain.  Spatial: Spatial uncertainty, but timing of movement is pre planned (temporal confidence)  A serve receive in volleyball or tennis. Umpire give a signal but no certainty where the sever will go.  Universal: Spatial and temporal uncertainty  Most multi-directional sports (games)
