The aim of this study is to see whether there is a difference in the reaction and agility running tests of female soccer players in different leagues.
The sample group of this study consisted of 30 participants, 15 of whom were licensed female soccer players in the 1st League (Konak Belediyespor) aged 18-25 and the other 15 were female soccer players in the 2nd League (Manisa Gençlerbirliği), who are actively engaged in soccer. Reaction and agility tests such as reactive agility test, grid drill (reaction test), 30m sprint test, and zig-zag change-of-direction running tests were applied with the Smartspeed (Fusion Sport) branded photocell device. Average age, height, body weight, BMI, and athlete ages in the study are 21.26±2.08 years, 165.53±5.65 cm, 56.60±4.62 kg, 20.64±1.16 kg/m², 7.53±3.41 years. In the 2nd League (Manisa Gençlerbirliği), they are 20.66±2.57 years, 165.20±5.91 cm, 57.13±7.01 kg, 20.92±2.19 kg/m², 3.86±1.88 years, respectively. As a result of the tests, there was no statistically significant difference (p>0,5) between the two groups regarding the reaction and reactive agility tests, while a positive significance (p˂0.05) was found in the 30-meter sprint in favor of the 1st League (Konak Belediyespor) and a statistically significant difference (p˂0.05) was found in the zig-zag test in favor of the 2nd League (Manisa Gençlerbirliği).
As a result, we can say that in order to be more successful in the agility performance, the players should be more effective in making decisions rather than leaning close to the ground at the moment of changing direction.
