An 'angle-velocity trade-off' exists where faster approach velocities compromise the execution of the intended change of direction angle, mediated by the athlete's physical capacity.
Understand that as athletes move faster, they may not be able to execute the exact intended angle of their cut. This is normal and depends on their strength and control. Train athletes to manage this trade-off by improving their physical capacity, allowing them to maintain better control at higher speeds.
GoodQualifiesHIGH confidence
an ‘angle-velocity trade-off’ exists during CODs, whereby faster approaches compromise the execution of the intended COD; this is influenced by an athlete’s physical capacity.
Why this rating
Supported by multiple studies cited in the review showing velocity impacts on executed angle.

- Bariatric surgery (VSG and RYGB) is the most effective and sustainable treatment for obesity, producing marked and sustained weight loss that non-surgical interventions cannot match.Strong
- Severely protein-deficient diets (2–3% energy) induce lean body mass loss and metabolic imbalance, whereas adequate protein intake (0.66 g/kg/d minimum) is a prerequisite for maintaining muscle, bone, and physiological function.Strong
- For patients with Class III obesity (BMI >39.9 kg/m2), metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is significantly more effective than any currently approved medication, with BilioPancreatic Diversion (BPD) showing the highest estimated weight loss.Strong
