Abstract

This research was carried out for investigation of 10-12 age soccer players’ agility performance according to age. 53 male soccer players attended in this research voluntarily. Illinois agility test was used in the assessment of agility performance. Collected data was recorded in SPSS program. One Way Variance Analyze (ANOVA) was used for determination of differences in different group soccer players. When difference was discerned among groups, Tukey HSD analyses were used for detecting which groups cause this difference. Significance level was accepted as p<0.05. According to research results, significant differences were determined among 10, 11 and 12 age group soccer players’ agility performances (p<0.01). The sources of differences were those, 12 age group soccer players according to 10 and 11 age group showed better performances. Consequently, It can be said that agility feature consisting suddenly stop, change direction and acceleration actions are effected by age in these groups.
