Meaning of Agility

Agility a combination of physical speed, suppleness and skill (dict. Of sp. And ex. Sc. 2006, 8 P.) Agility in general the ability to skillfully solve certain physical and mental tasks so that the talent is utilized optimally. In the context of sport, agility is a fundamental coordinative motor characteristic which manifests itself predominantly in (fine and gross) motor coordination, body balance, flexibility of the torso, motor adaptation to equipment or objects and rhythmical adaptation to music, movement of others, etc. Agility is essential in those types of sport where » movement tasks are more strongly dependent upon the situation and therefore not pre-determined (e.G. In team games). Rapid recognition of the situation as well as immediate selection and execution of the motor reaction adapted optimally to the specific situation are important criteria for agility. Due to its strong dependence on sensorimotor intelligence (» motor intelligence), agility is learnable or trainable only within limits, especially since the ability is lost at a relatively early age. This supports the important demand of enhancing the learning of complex motor patterns in the early ages of development (in children, youth and school sport). (H.Haag &g. Haag, dictionary, 2003, 18 p.)
