Dribbling: For dribbling, three different tests were performed by each player. The results quoted in the table are the average time it took a player to perform each of the different tests (each test was performed three times). Each test required the players to dribble the ball through a circuit in the fastest possible time. Penalties were applied for players missing any cones during the circuit or touching the ball with the incorrect foot (when appropriate).
Test 1: Time taken to dribble the ball through the circuit using the left foot only.
Test 2: Time taken to dribble the ball through the circuit using the right foot only.

Test 3: Time taken to dribble the ball through the circuit using either foot
Rebound Board Performance: Four different tests were performed by each player. The results quoted in the table are the average time it took a player to perform each of the tasks (each task performed twice). Each task included ten circuits of the rebound boards (20 passes and 20 controls), with a penalty of 1 second added to a player’s time for each mistake made during the task (i.e. missing the rebound board, kicking with the wrong foot or for every extra touch of the football).
Test 1: Rebound Boards at Right-angle to each other using Technique A

The results
How to interpret the table:
Player: Each individual player’s unique identification
Dribbling Both Feet (s): Average Time taken to dribble the ball through the circuit using either foot .
Dribbling with Left Foot (s): Average time taken for each player to dribble the ball through the circuit using the left foot only.
Dribbling with Right Foot (s): Average time taken to dribble the ball through the circuit using the right foot only.
Dribbling Asymmetry: The difference in average points between the different feet. The closer to 0 then the smaller the difference is between the left and right feet. A larger number shows that the player is much better at dribbling with one foot compared with the other.
Rebound Board Right-angle (s): Average time taken by a player to complete the test using Techniques A & B (including time penalties for mistakes)
Rebound Board Wide-angle (s): Average time taken by a player to complete the test using Techniques A & B (including time penalties for mistakes)
