AB A study was made to initially evaluate whether the age category directly could influenceanthropometric measurements, functional movement tests, linear sprint (30 m) and strength. Moreover,and as the main purpose, this study aimed to examine the relationship between the time executionand angles in different changes of direction (COD) test with the analyzed sport performance variables.A total sample of 23 basketball players (age: 17.5 ± 2.42 years; height: 184.6 ± 6.68 cm; body weight:78.09 ± 11.9 kg). Between-groups’ comparison explored the differences between basketball categories(Junior, n = 12; Senior, n = 11). The COD variables were divided by the time execution into lowresponders (LR) and high responders (HR) to establish comparisons between groups related to CODtime execution. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to establish correlations between differentCODs and sport performance variables. The results showed a greater influence of age category uponCOD performance, especially when the cutting angle was sharper (7.05% [Confidence limits (CL)90%: 2.33; 11.99]; Quantitative chances (QC) 0/2/98), in which athletes need greater application ofstrength. Moreover, the sharper the angle or the larger the number of cuts made, the greater therelationship with the vertical force–velocity profile (−42.39 [CL 90%: −57.37; −22.16]; QC 100/0/0%).Thus, the usefulness of the f–v profile to implement training programs that optimize the f–v imbalanceand the improvement of the COD performance in basketball players is suggested.
