The development of a test of reactive agility for netball: a new methodology

Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2005
The purpose of this study was to present a new methodology for the measurement of agility for netball that is considered more ecologically valid than previous agility tests. Specifically, the agility performance of highly-skilled (n = 12), moderately-skilled (n = 12) and lesser-skilled players (n = 8) when responding to a life-size, interactive video ...

Reliability and Validity of a Reactive Agility Test for Australian Football

International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2010
Purpose:The aim of this study was to test the reliability and construct validity of a reactive agility test (RAT), designed for Australian Football (AF).Methods:Study I tested the reliability of the RAT, with 20 elite junior AF players (17.44 ± 0.55 y) completing the test on two occasions separated by 1 wk.

Decision-Making Accuracy in Reactive Agility

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2013
Decision-making accuracy and the time cost of incorrect responses was compared between higher- (n = 14) and lower-standard (n = 14) Australian footballers during reactive agility tasks incorporating feint and nonfeint scenarios. Accuracy was assessed as whether the subject turned in the correct direction to each stimulus.

Evolutional reactive scheduling for agile manufacturing systems

International Journal of Production Research, 2006
A predetermined production schedule is often disturbed in agile manufacturing systems, due to unscheduled disruptions, such as delays of manufacturing operations and addition of new jobs. The objective of the research is to propose a new reactive scheduling method based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA), which generates improved production schedules ...

Development and examination of a functional reactive agility test for older adults

Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2017
Reactive agility tests have become popular in sport for talent identification; however, the ability of these tests to evaluate physical function and falls risk in clinical populations warrants future study.To examine the reliability and construct validity of a novel functional reactive agility test (FRAT) across the lifespan.Forty-three young (24 ± 2 ...

Effect of Caffeine on Reactive Agility Time When Fresh and Fatigued

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2011
This study examined the effects of acute caffeine ingestion on agility performance and decision-making accuracy after simulated team-sport exercise.Using a randomized, double-blinded, counterbalanced design, 10 moderately trained male team-sport athletes ingested either caffeine (6 mg·kg(-1)) or placebo (dextrose) 60 min before completing an 80-min (4 ×

Caffeine Supplementation and Reactive Agility in Elite Youth Soccer Players

Pediatric Exercise Science, 2014
This study examined the effects of caffeine supplementation (6 mg·kg−1) on performance of a reactive agility test (RAT) in 17 elite, male, youth (M = 14 y) soccer players. Using a double-blind, repeated-measures design, players completed 4 days of testing on the RAT after a standardized warm-up.

Planned and Reactive Agility Performance in Semiprofessional and Amateur Basketball Players

International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2014
Context:Research indicates that planned and reactive agility are different athletic skills. These skills have not been adequately assessed in male basketball players.Purpose:To define whether 10-m-sprint performance and planned and reactive agility measured by the Y-shaped agility test can discriminate between semiprofessional and amateur basketball ...

Speed, Change of Direction Speed, and Reactive Agility of Rugby League Players

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2008
While studies have investigated speed and change of direction speed in rugby league players, no study has investigated the reactive agility of these athletes. In addition, the relationship among speed, change of direction speed, and reactive agility within the specific context of rugby league has not been determined.
