Abstract

In modern team sports, agility has become more important than in the past, because the game has evolved and has turned faster than before. This is due to the increasingly presence of strength and condition training and the highest care of teams on the athletes. The agility in sport is a multifactorial parameter; it is correlated with body stability, rapidity and speed. In order to understand which parameters have more prominence in output performance, we decided to follow a PRE-POST case study, based on three different training protocols and a control group. The study was made following an Italian amateur team of 20 basketball athletes (age 23 ± 4) divided in 4 groups and using the Lane Drill Test (Sigmon, 2005) to obtain objective data.
