Table 1. Descriptive data for testing sessions 1 and 2, p value for differences between the sessions, mean and 90% confidence limits (90% CL) and reliability statistics (intra-class correlation coefficient [ICC], typical error [TE], coefficient of variations [CV], smallest worthwhile change [0.2 x standard deviation = SWC; 0.5 x standard deviation = SWC], and ratings of usefulness) for the 20-m sprint (0-5 m, 0-10 m, and 0-20 m intervals), change-of-direction and acceleration test (CODAT), and Illinois agility run (IAR) in Australian football players (n = 18).
