Abstract
This study aimed to $nd a relationship between the reactive agility of U19 female basketball players and speed and power characteristics. This study involved twelve U19 female basketball players from the $rst division who participated in various tests aimed at evaluating di%erent aspects of their physical performance. These tests included assessments of power through the squat jump, countermovement jump, and drop jump, linear speed through 5, 10, and 20-meter sprints, change of direction speed through the 505 test, and reactive agility through the Y-shaped test. The correlation coeffcient showed a large association (r = 0.64, p = 0.02) between the Y-shaped test and the 20 m linear sprint. The Association of the Y-shaped test with other power and speed tests was small or moderate. These $ndings suggest that basketball coaches working with young female players can leverage the enhancement of reactive agility to concurrently develop linear speed.
