摘要：The purpose of this research is to evaluate the factorial validity of agility tests used in soccer. The
research has been done on a selective sample of 50 male participants, professional soccer players from the
first Macedonian league, aged between 19 and 33. In order to accomplish the aims of the research, six tests
for evaluating agility were done: zig-zag running without a ball, zig-zag running with a ball, Ajax test 5x10
meters without a ball, Ajax test 5x10 meters with a ball, Illinois test without a ball, and Illinois test with a
ball. On the basis of the gained results, after applying all of the statistical methods, it has been concluded
that the tests have a single measurement subject, i.e. a latent dimension, identified as agility, has been
isolated. All of the tests have high projections, hence diagnostic validity. The Illinois test without a ball has
the highest projection and diagnostic validity out of all the six tests applied. When constructing a test with
this aim, it is wise to take into consideration the game specifics and the positional tasks of soccer players.
