Abstract:
The upright body position, the movements of the body segments, and any human
activity require a certain level of motor skills. The quality of motor skills and the
pace of their development (under the influence of training) directly affect human
daily activities, as well as human health status. In sports, they are directly related to
the result, whereas, in team sports, speed and agility are perhaps the most important
ones. However, finding an acceptable definition of agility is most likely the result of
the influence of various factors from different disciplines of sports science, which
affect the manifestation of agility. The most accepted definition of agility is the rapid
movement of the whole body with a change in speed or direction of movement in
response to a certain stimulus, whereas examples of agility assessment protocols
are 505, T-test, Step aside, Zigzag test. Of all the agility tests mentioned, the 505 test
is the most commonly used for testing both junior and elite athletes. The test itself
has the most possibilities for modification since only small corrections can take into
account the specifics of the sports. In sports, there is an increasing tendency to save
athletes from long testing procedures and to test as many motor skills as possible
in the shortest possible time, thus the new tests need to be as effective as possible.
Therefore, this paper aims to propose a future modification of the 505 test to test
other motor skills in addition to agility by using modern technology.
