Reactive agility-evidence based suggestions for improvement.
Article in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To examine the contributions of lower-limb eccentric strength, reactive strength, and cognitive inhibitory control to reactive agility performance. Methods: Forty-five healthy, physically active males (21.3 ± 3.5 years) performed eccentric and isometric strength testing of knee flexors and extensors (Biodex dynamometer), 30 cm drop jumps for reactive strength, and a computerized Stroop task (EncephalApp) for cognitive performance. Reactive agility was assessed via the Random Star Run (RSR) on the SKILLCOURT. Multiple linear regression analyzed associations of strength and cognitive performance outcomes with reactive agility. Results: Mean eccentric strength of the knee flexors (EccHam/kg) and extensors were 2.24 ± 0.44 and 4.07 ± 0.79 Nm·kg Conclusions: Reactive agility is enhanced by higher eccentric hamstring strength, superior cognitive inhibitory control, and fast stretch-shortening cycle execution. The identified cut-offs may serve as practical benchmarks for training programs targeting eccentric strength, cognitive control, and plyometric efficiency. These findings underscore the combined neuromuscular and cognitive determinants of reactive agility, warranting longitudinal studies to confirm causality.
