... two seasons were in non-contact situations, and twisting/ turning injuries accounted for a significant proportion of all injuries reported. A more recent study by Woods et al. (2003) found that of all ankle ligament injuries, 39% occurred during non-contact of which 77% of those injuries involved a mechanism of twisting, turning and landing. So this information has clear implications relating to our study, superior agility can benefit performance which could directly contribute or influence the outcome of the game, and it can reduce the likelihood of lower limb injury incidence such as ACL and ankle ligament sprains (Hawkins et al., 2001; Woods et al., 2003). For the purpose of analysis, a schematic technique movement analysis table was created (see appendices), (Bartlett, 1999; Graham-Smith and Pearson, 2005). The technical aspects of the agility turn were broken down into distinct phases in order to aid successful performance analysis, any limiting physical attributes to ...
