The sample included 13 young male handball players (age: 22.4 \u00b1 3.2 years). The CoD tasks were performed over a 10 m distance with 90\u00b0 and 180\u00b0 turns. Both CoD tasks were performed under two conditions: (1) from the standing start and, (2) with a 10 m prior acceleration approach. Linear sprint times over a 10 m distance were also recorded for the purpose of determining the CoD deficit. The differences between the outcomes of different test variants were assessed with pairwise t-tests and associated Cohen\u2019s d effect size. The agreement in terms of inter-limb asymmetry direction was assessed descriptively, using percentage of agreement. Results showed that the inclusion of the 10 m approach reduced the total task time (mean differences ranging between 0.26 and 0.35 s; d = 2.27\u20134.02; p < 0.002). The differences between 90\u00b0 and 180\u00b0 turn times were statistically significant under both conditions: (a) without approach (0.44\u20130.48 s; d = 4.72\u20134.84; all p < 0.001), and (b) with approach (0.50\u20130.54 s; d = 4.41\u20135.03; p < 0.001). The agreement regarding inter-limb asymmetry direction among the tasks was 30.7\u201361.5%. The differences between the tasks could be explained by the angle\u2013velocity trade-off. The results of this study imply that the CoD tasks should not be used interchangeably when assessing inter-limb asymmetries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13101940","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,18]],"date-time":"2021-10-18T03:25:15Z","timestamp":1634527515000},"page":"1940","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Levels of Agreement for the Direction of Inter-Limb Asymmetry during Four Simple Change-of-Direction Tests in Young Male Handball Players: A Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3555-8680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u017diga","family":"Kozinc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Primorska, Polje 42, 6310 Izola, Slovenia"},{"name":"Andrej Maru\u0161i\u010d Institute, University of Primorska, Muzejski Trg 2, 6000 Koper, Slovenia"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1505-1287","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chris","family":"Bishop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"London Sport Institute, Middlesex University, Greenlands Lane, Allianz Park, London NW4 4BT, UK"}]},{"given":"Jernej","family":"Ple\u0161a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Primorska, Polje 42, 6310 Izola, Slovenia"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0747-3735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nejc","family":"\u0160arabon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Primorska, Polje 42, 6310 Izola, Slovenia"},{"name":"Human Health Department, InnoRenew CoE, Livade 6, 6310 Izola, Slovenia"},{"name":"S2P, Science to Practice, Ltd., Laboratory for Motor Control and Motor Behavior, Tehnolo\u0161ki Park 19, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"919","DOI":"10.1080\/02640410500457109","article-title":"Agility literature review: Classifications, training and testing","volume":"24","author":"Sheppard","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
