The aim of the paper was to identify the factors of the running (Illinois test) and reaction agility (Fitro agility check - FAC) agility, the acceleration and running speed, the explosive strength of the lower limbs and determine the degree of their mutual determination. The object of the survey was a set of 36 handball woman players in 3 age categories. We tested and compared the level of selected indicators by age and by appropriate tests. We have fond the interdependence of the above mentioned indicators by correlation analysis. In youth category we have found the relationship between the Illinois test and the running speed (run at 30 m) with rs = 0,766; p = 0,003 < 0,01; similarly in junior players between acceleration speed (rs = 0,762; p = 0,004 < 0,01) and running agility (rs = 0,832; p = 0,004 < 0,01); in women there was correlation between reaction agility with acceleration and running speed and also with explosive strength of the lower limbs (rs = 0,767; p = 0,004). We conclude that the conditionality of running and reaction agility by physical abilities increases with the age.
