Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between Illinois Agility Test scores and sickle kick speed among Pagar Nusa athletes in Semarang Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design and involved 20 athletes selected through purposive sampling. Agility was measured using the Illinois Agility Test, while scissor kick speed was measured based on the number of kicks in 10 seconds. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and correlation tests. The results of the study showed a significant negative correlation between Illinois Agility Test scores and sickle kick speed (r = -0.845; p = 0.000). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.714 indicates that agility accounts for 71.4% of the speed of a scissor kick. The shorter the time it takes to complete the Illinois Agility Test, the higher the athlete's kicking speed.
