dc.description.abstractPurpose of this study is to investigate the effect of age on speed and agility in early adolescence. The study consists of 12, 13, 14 and 15-year old licensed athletes who compete in elite teams in basketball (n=46) and football (n=54) leagues. 110 basketball and football players participated in the study with following averages: age 13,2 +/-,17, height 1,70 +/-,02, body weight 63,9 +/- 2,3 and body mass index 21,7 +/-,5. In the study, 5 different tests including 20-meter speed test, T Dril, Illinois, Hexagonal Obstacle and 505 Agility tests were used. Independent Samples T Test was used for comparisons between the groups and all statistical analyzes were accepted with P<0.05 significance level. As a result of the tests, it was found that the speed values between the ages of 12-13 and 14 and the agility values between the ages of 13-14 were at statistically significant levels. In athletes in early adolescence, it was seen speed creates positive differences in favor of age 13 in the age range of 12-13 while speed and agility performances create positive differences in favor of age 14 in the age range of 13-14. As a result, it has been concluded that these results must be taken into consideration in academic studies and sports activities conducted with children in adolescence. In addition, it can be said that it may be more accurate to implement these results at the end of adolescence during the specialization phase of athletes.en_US
