Speed and agility represent independent motor abilities. The speed of movement consists of cognitive and speed of reaction abilities and explosive acceleration. Understanding of the term agility includes two subcomponents; change of direction speed (CODS) as well as cognitive factors. The aim of the work is to find out the existence and character of the relationship between reactive agility and running agility, acceleration and running agility. The main method was quantitative absolute research. The diagnostic apparatus called Fitro Agility Check and Illinois test, 10m dash and 30 m dash tests were used for the measurement of the selected qualities in the observed samples. Causal relationship between the indicators was detected using correlation analysis. Results confirmed that no relationship was found among reactive and running agility and also other speed abilities.
