The aim of this
study is to examine the agility levels according to sports branches. A total of
50 male athletes, consisting of 10 wrestlers, 10 volleyball players, 10 boxers,
10 basketball players and 10 football players, whose average ages were 20.94 ±
1.64, participated in the study voluntarily. Illinois Agility Test has been
applied on the athletes. The agility levels of the participating athletes have
been recorded in seconds. The level of agility have been determined in the
Football players as 14.72 sec, in Wrestlers as 14.82 sec, in Basketball players
as 16.15 sec, in Boxers as 14.64 sec and in Volleyball players as 15.93 sec. As a result, the agility level of boxers has been
determined higher than other branches and the lowest level of agility has been
observed in basketball players. It is thought that the differences in agility
values are related to the sports branches.
