Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of agility among Korfball players and netball players of Hyderabad District in India. Twenty (20) male korfball players and twenty (20) male netball players were used as samples for this study. The Illinois Agility Test was used to conduct agility test for both groups. The result of this study shows that netball players have good agility compare to korfball players. Playing netball is just like playing basketball, but there is no dribbling once a player has the ball, because they are not allowed to take more than a single step. Speed and agility are of a great importance because it helps players to stay open to get the ball, and make a great shot. Players are also not allowed to hold the ball longer than three seconds; therefore, speed and optimal reaction time are critical.
