Correlation between three speed tests in children's Futsal athletes

Futsal is a team sport that demands high speed and agility, essential skills for the performance of players. To assess these skills, several tests are used, which can complicate the choice and comparison between them. The Projeto Esporte Brasil (PROESP-br)has updated its battery of tests to measure speed and agility, including the 20-meter displacement test, the agility T-test and the square test. A cross-sectional study evaluated 56 child futsal players using these tests to verify the need to apply multiple assessment methods for a more accurate analysis of physical abilities.
