To ensure that the evaluated players changed direction before 4 metres from the starting line, a predetermined time between the start of the test and the change of direction stimulus was used. This predetermined time was obtained from a pilot study with a sample similar to the present investigation. It is worth mentioning that an exact point for changing direction was not used to reflect the open skill nature of agility (Young et al., 2011; Young & Rogers, 2014). The videoclips were edited using a video-editing software (Sony Vegas Pro 13.0; Sony Creative Software Inc., Middleton, WI, USA).
