Study purpose. Regarding Talent identification (TID) programs, which are an integral part of the selection process for elite-level athletes, authors detected a lack evidence, as surprisingly little research has been conducted to elucidate effects Change Direction (COD) test performance on TID in basketball. This study aimed to: i) analyze anthropometrical measures, variables COD and talents val...

The relationship between the change of direction speed (CODS) and sprint speed, jump ability, muscle strength is well recognized. However, this may depend on how test designed which parameters are analyzed. This scoping review aims to: (1) map literature that addresses relationships CODS physical fitness performance variables in players team sports; (2) specify limiting factors CODS; (3) identi...
