Abstract

Aim: This research examines the relationship between agility and vertical jump by controlling for developmental characteristics (age, height, and body weight), which are important for sports performance yet underexplored in literature. Materials and methods: In this quantitative research, the study group was determined by power analysis and participants were selected using purposive sampling method. The study group consists of 15 male handball players (age 24.1 ± 5 years) who volunteered to participate. Agility performance was determined by the “Illinois Test”, while jumping performance was assessed by the “Vertical Jump Test”. The Pearson test was used in the relationship analysis as a result of the normality assumption. Additionally, a partial correlation analysis was conducted to control for the effect of developmental characteristics (α = 0.05). Results: A positive significant relationship was found between age and years of sports (r = .759; p
