Speed is the ability to achieve a high velocity.  Agility is a measure of the body’s ability to decelerate and stop the body explosively against forces such as inertia and momentum, make a directional change and accelerate again. In most functional movements and particularly in sports, agility is often more important than simply achieving a high velocity. Speed strength is the ability to generate accelerative and decelerative forces at high speed and therefore is a function of both speed and agility.  Therefore, we employ several agility and speed drills in our assessment of speed strength among these are the T-test and the hexagon test for agility and the 40-yard sprint for speed determination.
