02:26 Should you do any agility exercises before a game?
03:08 Tips for quickness

Speed, agility, and quickness (SAQ) training are crucial for AFL (Australian Football League) players, offering both performance and injury prevention benefits. AFLW games are shorter with fewer players on the field, creating more space. The teams with the quickest and most dynamic players can have a significant impact in a short amount of time. Efficiency in running technique can be improved through both individual and group training, though the focus at Melbourne Fit Performance is primarily on small group settings. Incorporating agility exercises in the warm-up is recommended before a game, providing an effective way to prepare athletes. Developing quickness requires a long-term approach, viewing speed as a quality that grows over time with consistent training emphasis.
