Jun 8	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports Interesting angle, I'll see what I can do about that. Although I think the anticipation is usually not the problem, I feel. I am usually pretty good in reading the game, which is why it's really annoying to be slow in reaction time, because I usually can see it (e.g. dribble) coming

Jun 7	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports Well if I knew some I wouldn't have asked the question here, would I? :) The reason why I made that remark is that the gym over here are typically pretty crowded/densely packed with machines and such. So putting cones and doing intervals in between is simply not possible. But I'll try out some of these exercises outdoors, if I can find some of the equipment like cones or ladders.
Jun 7	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports @DaveLiepmann In that case, as in with your definition, I am very skeptical about being strong will make you faster/quicker. There are lots of people who spend their days at the gym and look pretty much like meat-mountains. I don't anyone of them have any agility, even though they might be able to bench twice their weight etc.

Jun 6	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports Thanks for the tips but not sure if those are drills I can do at home or at a local gym.
Jun 6	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports Interesting... It looks fun and extremely tough at the same time. But primarily based on how they look in the video, I'd say it has a very suitable name :)
Jun 5	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports Well I suppose it depends on what you mean by strong. I'm usually very stable on foot, I do not get tackled easily in football for instance. I used to have good reflexes (while weighing about as much as I do now) but the time spent without proper training has slowed me down significantly.

Jun 1	comment	Getting back in shape: beating the odds against sedentary work-routines and team sports mentality do you mean squat + deadlift + bench? Btw what I meant with my age is that I am not getting any younger, and the professional lifestyle is taking it's toll. I certainly have a couple of years until I get gray hair but still you get the point..
Jun 1	comment	Getting back in shape: beating the odds against sedentary work-routines and team sports mentality @amcnabb: Tried both, and some more. Most often I get bored after a while, because it's a monotonous type of training (in my eyes at least) and eventually I end up having difficulties motivating myself to continue with the training.
