Change of direction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the operation during the 2006 Lebanon War, see Operation Change of Direction 11.
Change of direction (COD) is any activity that involves a rapid whole-body movement with a pre-planned change of velocity or direction.
In elite sports, the speed at which an athlete can do a change of direction is especially valuable in court and field sports. Strength and conditioning coaches in such sports program various exercises to train their athletes in this regard.
