: Study Design: Cross-Sectional Study Background: Agility is an important component in football for better performance and achieving the highest scoring in matches. There are numerous tests used to measure agility in football players. Most of these tests focus on measuring changes in physical attributes rather than a combination of physical and cognitive attributes. The quadrant jump test is advantageous due to its simplicity, speed, minimal equipment requirement, and ability to measure both physical and cognitive variables simultaneously. Aims: To assess the intrarater and interrater reliability of the quadrant jump test in evaluating agility among football players. Method: 143 elite football players (M=138, F=5) underwent the quadrant jump test. The evaluation of the test was taken by two testers for inter-rater reliability and by one of the testers after a gap of seven days for intra-rater reliability. Results: Participants were divided into adolescents (n=54) and young adults (n=89) for separate analysis. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) demonstrated excellent reliability for both intrarater and interrater assessments in both groups. In adolescents, ICC for interrater reliability was 0.72, and intrarater reliability was 0.96. In adults, ICC for interrater reliability was 0.93, and intrarater reliability was 0.89. Standard error of measurement (SEM) and smallest real difference (SRD) values were also analyzed. Conclusion: The quadrant jump test exhibits robust reliability in assessing agility in both adolescent and adult football players, underscoring its utility as a measurement tool.
