The study titled “Comparative Study of Agility between Cricket and Football Players” investigates differences in agility among athletes engaged in two popular sports: cricket and football. Eighty male participants (40 football players and 40 cricket players) aged between 18–25 years from Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University), Pune, were selected using a simple random sampling method. The 5-0-5 Agility Test was employed to assess agility. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The findings reveal that cricket players demonstrated slightly higher agility levels compared to football players; however, the difference was not statistically significant at the 0.05 level. The study highlights the importance of sport-specific agility training to enhance performance and reduce injury risk.
