| Popis | This study aimed to ascertain the association between reactive agility and selected speed and power characteristics in women’s basketball. Twelve elite female basketball players of 1st division participated in this research. Players performed various tests to assess power (countermovement jump, drop jump), linear speed (5, 10, 20 m linear sprint), change of direction speed (505 test), and reactive agility (Y-shaped test). Pearson’s correlation coefficient showed: almost perfect association between Y test and countermovement jump (r = 0.91); a very large association between Y test and DJ (r = -0.81) and 20 m linear sprint (r = 0.79); and a large or small association between Y test and other variables. Based on these results, basketball coaches of female players can benefit from the performance of reactive agility when developing power and linear speed. |
