Abstract :This study is to conduct a comparative assessment of agility and speed performance levels among male football players aged 17 to 21. A total of 78 participants were included, comprising professional players from Gençlerbirliği Sports Club (n=28) and amateur players from the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Lokman Hekim University (n=50). Anthropometric measurements, including height and body weight, were documented, and physical performance was evaluated by the 30-meter sprint and Arrowhead agility assessments. Independent sample t-tests were employed to compare the groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was performed to investigate correlations among variables. The results indicated that professional players surpassed amateur players in both tests, with statistically significant differences (p<0.05). Furthermore, reduced standard deviations in the professional group signified greater consistency in physical performance. These disparities are ascribed to systematic training regimens, enhanced nutritional methods, and talent acquisition methodologies prioritized at the elite level.
