The Influence of Linearsprint and Jump Performance on Change-of-Direction Performance in Male and Female State-Representative Youth Basketball Players

Abstract

Good change-of-direction sprint performance is considered important for basketball players. Regarding the components of a change-of-direction task, a correlation between the linear sprint and concentric power output can be assumed. Previous studies have shown heterogeneous correlation coefficients between different Change-of-Direction tests (COD tests) and linear and jump performance.
