Gathering Information
Agility
• Agility is a Physical factor that impacts on your performance
• Agility is the ability to change the body’s position efficiently
• It is a combination of speed, balance, coordination and your reflexes
TaskWrite down a number of examples where agility is
relevant and impacts on performance
Examples
1) Agility is important in football as it enables a player to turn quickly and evade challenges. A player who is agile can also respond quicker to an opposing player, close down or jockey an opponent and he or she is also able to explosively stop, change direction and increase speed again.
2) In Badminton, Agility helps a player move around the court reasonably smoothly reaching shuttles at the back and front of the court. A lack of Agility would make it difficult for a player to reach shuttles played to different areas of the court causing them to be under pressure or lose the point.
Gathering Data on Agility
We can use a standardised test to gather information out with the activity
Illinois Agility Test• Four cones are used to mark the start, finish and the two
turning points. Another four cones are placed down the centre an equal distance apart.
• Subjects should lie on their front (head to the start line) and hands by their shoulders.
• On the 'Go' command the stopwatch is started, and the athlete gets up as quickly as possible and runs around the course in the direction indicated
Gathering Data on Agility
