Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate agility, speed and power values in football players in terms of gender and age. For this purpose, measurement results of a total of 208 football players aged between 12 and 16 years were evaluated. A statistically significant difference was found between jump, agility, speed and power values of football players in terms of gender (p<0.001). A significant difference was found in jump, agility, speed and power values of male football players in terms of age (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in agility values of female football players in terms of age (p>0.05), but there was a significant difference in jump, sprint and power values (p<0.001). Vertical jump values of football players showed positive correlation with anaerobic and aerobic power values and negative correlation with agility, 10- and 20-metre run time and fat percentage (p<0.001). The positive correlation of fat percentage with agility test, 10- and 20-metre run values was significant (p<0.001). Speed, agility and power values of male football players were higher than those of female football players. An increase was observed in these values with increasing age. It is recommended to carry out studies to increase the agility of female football players with the increase in age.
