Table 4 Correlation coefficients between Agilty-15 m and Ball-15 m and skill index performance indices and anthropometry and physical performance from 3 groups of soccer players from different biological age categories (pre-PHV: -3 to -1.0 years to PHV; circum-PHV: -1.0 year to 1.0 year to PHV; and post-PHV: 1.0 to 5.0 years from PHV)

From: Effect of maturation level on normative specific-agility performance metrics and their fitness predictors in soccer players aged 11–18 years
