AGILITY & SPEED

Agility is the ability to change the body's position, and requires a combination of balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, and strength. Agility is usually achieved when a person is using his ATP_PC or lactic acid (anaerobic) systems.

In sports, agility is described in terms of response to an opposing player, moving target, as seen in field sports and racket sports. Sheppard and Young (2006) define agility as "a rapid whole body movement with change of velocity or direction in response to a stimulus."

BALANCE & PROPRIOCEPTION: Being able to control your body through position/speed awareness means you will generate more power and speed. Keeping your body mass over your base of support is a great foundation for good movement.

AGILITY & QUICKNESS: It is important to develop multi-directional agility and acceleration. Explosive quickness is essential in most sporting environments. Look for ladders, witches hats and cones.
