Agility
Agility is the ability to stop, start, and change the direction of the body or body parts in a rapid and controlled manner. It enables an athlete to move explosively, brake, change direction, and accelerate again, and is often more important than just achieving and maintaining high velocity. In comparison to linear sprinting, agility involves greater emphasis on deceleration and the subsequent ability to reactively couple it with acceleration. The athlete must be able to execute these changes in direction at multiple velocities.
