Comparison of Agility, Vertical Jump and Speed Parameters in Children Between 6-12 Years

The aim of the study is to compare the agility, vertical jump and velocity parameters in children between 6-12 years of age. Onehundred thirty-six children (61 girls, 74 boys) participated as volunteers. The t-test was applied to the participants as a measureof agility test. Vertical jump and 20 meters speed test were applied. Statistics were performed using by SPSS package program.The data were evaluated by the Shapiro-Wilk test for normal distribution.
