During field and court-based sports, players are continually
required to perceive their environment within a match and select
and perform the most appropriate action to achieve their immediate
goal within that match instance. This ability is commonly known as
agility, considered a vital quality in such sports and may
incorporate a variety of locomotion and instantaneous actions.
Multidirectional speed is a global term to describe the competency
and capacity to perform such actions, to accelerate, decelerate,
change direction and ultimately maintain speed in multiple
directions and movements within the context of sports specific
scenarios, encompassing many of these agility, speed, and related
qualities. Multidirectional speed in sport depends on a multitude
of factors including perceptual-cognitive abilities, physical
qualities, and the technical ability to perform the abovementioned
actions. Multidirectional Speed in Sport: Research to Application
reviews the science of multidirectional speed and translates this
information into real-world application in order to provide a
resource for practitioners to develop multidirectional speed with
athletes, bringing together knowledge from a wealth of
world-leading researchers and applied practitioners in the area of
'speed and agility' to provide a complete resource to assist
practitioners in designing effective multidirectional speed
development programmes. This text is critical reading for
undergraduate and graduate sports science students, all individuals
involved in training athletes (e.g., coaches, physiotherapists,
athletic trainers) along with researchers in the field of sports
science and sports medicine.
