Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyse the changes in the
physical capacities of agility and linear velocity in a sample of Spanish
schoolchildren during a period of 20 years (1998-2018). For this purpose,
a cross-sectional study was designed and the results of the 10x10 shuttle
test and 45-meter dash test were analysed. The sample was configured by a
total of 3056 schoolchildren between 12 and 13 years old (1792 males and
1264 females).
The results showed a decrease in test performance in both sexes for the
10x10 shuttle test. On the contrary, no significant changes were obtained
in relation to the performance of the test of the 45-meter dash. The increase
in the sedentary lifestyles of industrialized societies, the increase in the obesity proportion, the abuse of new technologies or new social habits could
explain the worsening of agility in the study sample.
