Determinants of agility across biological maturation status in soccer players
These findings suggest that the influence of biological maturation on agility is most pronounced between Pre- and Circa-PHV, primarily driven by reaction time and lower limb power. At Post-PHV, factors beyond cognitive and physical abilities may influence agility. Reducing COD deficit during maturation may be critical for improving agility.
