Change-of-direction time

Method

Time to complete a multidirectional course. Whether the test is PRE-PLANNED or REACTIVE is recorded on the edge and is not optional — a reactive test triggered by a stimulus loads perceptual decision-making that a pre-planned course does not, and the two dissociate.

The method is part of the endpoint identity. Studies measuring the same quantity by a different method are held as separate endpoints.

Notes

One node with the test variant on the edge, rather than two nodes, on the same reasoning that makes 1RM squat and 1RM bench one node. Revisit if the literature turns out to disagree across variants often enough that pooling them misleads — the reactive/pre-planned distinction is recorded on every edge precisely so that question stays answerable. Direction describes the TIME. A faster course is `decreases`.
