In relation to training, there is evidence that a carefully designed strength and
conditioning program can enhance CODS, but there is no evidence that such programs are
also beneficial for agility. Plyometric training using multi-directional exercises can
potentially be specific to the change-of-direction movements used in agility tasks, but it is
still not known whether it transfers to agility performance. It is possible that the importance
of training various strength qualities for agility is diminished due to the relative importance
of the cognitive component of agility. Accordingly, it could be speculated that athletes are
not able to express their athleticism on the field or court because the decision-making
requirement of agility dominates, but this needs to be examined further.
