Programirana i neprogramirana agilnost u diagnostici sportaša

Abstract

The aim of the study is to examine the differences between four pre-planned and non-planned agility tests. The movement structure of the tests combined frontal, universal, semi-circular, and lateral agility components. The sample of participants comprised 45 male athletes and 31 female athletes. The time-based parameters for pre-planned and non-planned agility tests were determined using the FitLight Trainer, a wireless training system which is comprised of seven LEDpowered lights and controlled via an Android application. The results obtained were then statistically processed using the SPSS software package. Basic descriptive parameters were calculated for all the testing protocols. The differences between the pre-planned and non-planned test versions were evidenced by an independent T-test. A correlation analysis was performed to analyse the relationships between pre-planned and non-planned agility performances in the selected tests, as well as to determine the correlation between the agility performance and the space of linear sprint speed and reactive strength. The results of the study showed statistically significant differences in selected tests of pre-planned (non-reactive) and non-planned (reactive) agility between both sub-samples. Significant differences were also observed in the reactive and nonreactive agility tests for men as well as women. The difference between male and female athletes was the highest in the non-planned frontal agility test (FRA), followed by the pre-planned frontal agility test (FRA), and pre-planned semicircular agility test (SCA), whereas the global agility test (GLA) showed the lowest difference. In the sub-sample of male athletes, the difference between the known and unknown movement routines was highest in the global agility test (22.3%), while the lowest gap was reported in the relationship between the reactive and non-reactive lateral agility tests (13.5%). The differences between the pre-planned and non-planned agility tests in females were also statistically significant.
