PROJECT:

Change of direction speed (CODS) and reactive agility (RAG); development of the specific measurement tools, identification of predictors, and evaluation of training effects

Goal: The aims of this project are: (i) to develop RAG and CODS tests, (ii) to identify predictors of RAG and CODS, (iii) to define the efficacy of training aimed at the development of RAG and CODS; all in athletic- and non-athletic (clinical) participants
(Call identifier: IP-01-2018)

Soccer RAG

Agility is defined as a rapid change of speed and direction of movement as a reaction to an external
stimulus.

There are two facets of agility: non-reactive agility and reactive agility (RAG).

Non-reactive agility involves an active change of direction speed (CODS) that is pre-determined and does not
include unpredictable situations.

The term “pre-planned agility” is regularly used for CODS, while
RAG is often referred to as “non-planned agility”.

Aims

Agility is mostly known as crucial conditioning capacity in competitive team sports, including football,
futsal, handball, and basketball.

The aims of this project are:
(i) to develop RAG and CODS tests for different sports and populations (i.e., clinical population)

(ii) to identify predictors of RAG and CODS

(iii) to define the efficacy of training aimed at the development of RAG and CODS; all in athletic- and
non-athletic (clinical) participants
