The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship among the straight acceleration capacity, the change of direction ability (CODA) and the horizontal jumping (HJ) performance in young athletes. This study involved a total of 264 young athletes aged between 8 and 16 years (10.2 ± 2.6 years; 37.5 ± 11.7 kg, 1.4 ± 0.1 m, 17.7 ± 2.4 kg·m-2). The 5 and 15 m straight acceleration capacity, the CODA in the 505 test (505) and modified agility test (MAT), the horizontal counter movement jump (HCMJ) and the horizontal arm swing counter movement jump (HCMJAS) were assessed. The relationship between acceleration capacity in 5 m and CODA (505: r = 0.54, p <0.01 and MAT: r = 0.62, p <0.01) or acceleration capacity in 5 m and horizontal jump (HCMJ: r = -0 64, p <0.01 HCMJAS: r = -0.67, p> 0.05) were more consistent than the association among 15 m test and CODA or HJ. The association between MAT test and HJ (HCMJ: r = -0.73, p <0.01; HCMJAS: r = -0.74, p <0.01) was higher than the relationship between 505 test and HCMJ (r = -0.63, p <0.01) or 505 test and HCMJAS (r = -0.61, p <0.01). The type, the duration and the nature of these field tests determine the associations among different motor skills.
