Rapid horizontal accelerations and decelerations are crucial events enabling the changes of
velocity and direction integral to sports involving random intermittent multi-directional …

Background Eccentric resistance training is recognised as an effective stimulus for
enhancing measures of muscular strength and power in adult populations; however, its …

High-intensity horizontal decelerations occur frequently in team sports and are typically
performed to facilitate a reduction in momentum preceding a change of direction manoeuvre …

determinants of the modified and traditional 505 change of direction speed test. J Strength …

This review provides a definition for multidirectional speed (MDS) and evaluates its technical
and mechanical underpinnings. This review explores each component of MDS while …

Radar technology has the potential for providing new insights into maximal horizontal
deceleration ability. This study aimed to investigate the intra-and inter-day reliability and …

This investigation aimed to determine the countermovement jump (CMJ) neuromuscular
performance (NMP) qualities that differentiate between athletes with high or low horizontal …

Basketball is a sport that relies heavily on an athlete's ability to rapidly decelerate in order to
change direction, avoid a defender, or create space. Recent literature has proposed novel …

Multidirectional speed (MDS) can be defined as‟ the competency and capacity to
accelerate, decelerate, change direction, and maintain speed in multiple directions and …

Given the multidirectional nature of the sport, handball athletes must frequently perform high-
intensity decelerations to avoid defenders, generate space, or perform directional changes …
