AB  - PURPOSE: To investigate the relationships between maximal isometric strength, 
      vertical jump (VJ), sprint speed, and change-of-direction speed (CoDS) in academy 
      netball players and determine whether players who have high performance in 
      isometric strength testing would demonstrate superior performance in VJ, sprint 
      speed, and CoDS measures. METHOD: Twenty-six young female netball players (age 
      16.1 +/- 1.2 y, height 173.9 +/- 5.7 cm, body mass 66.0 +/- 7.2 kg) from a regional 
      netball academy performed isometric midthigh pull (IMTP), squat jumps (SJs), 
      countermovement jumps (CMJs), 10-m sprints, and CoDS (505). RESULTS: IMTP 
      measures displayed moderate to strong correlations with sprint and CoDS 
      performance (r = -.41 to -.66). The VJs, which included SJs and CMJs, 
      demonstrated strong correlations with 10-m sprint times (r = -.60 to -.65; P < 
      .01) and CoDS (r = -.60 to -.71; P = .01). Stronger players displayed 
      significantly faster sprint (ES = 1.1-1.2) and CoDS times (ES = 1.2-1.7) and 
      greater VJ height (ES = 0.9-1.0) than weaker players. CONCLUSION: The results of 
      this study illustrate the importance of developing high levels of lower-body 
      strength to enhance VJ, sprint, and CoDS performance in youth netball players, 
      with stronger athletes demonstrating superior VJ, sprint, and CoDS performances.
