==Etymology==
Middle French, from [[Latin]] agilis, from agere to drive, [[act]] — more at [[agent]]
*Date: [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_Century 1581]
==Definitions==
*1 : marked by ready [[ability]] to [[move]] with quick easy [[grace]] <an agile dancer>
*2 : having a quick [[resource]]ful and adaptable [[character]] <an agile [[mind]]>
==Description==
'''Agility''' is the [[ability]] to [[change]] the [[body]]'s position [[efficiently]], and requires the [[integration]] of [[isolated]] [[movement]] [[skills]] using a combination of [[balance]], [[coordination]], [[speed]], [[reflexe]]s, [[strength]], [[endurance]] and stamina.
In sports, agility is often defined in terms of an [[individual]] sport, due to it being an [[integration]] of many components each used differently (specific to all of sorts of [[different]] sports). Sheppard and Young (2006) defined agility as "a rapid whole [[body]] movement with [[change]] of [[velocity]] or direction in [[response]] to a stimulus."
In [[business]], agility means the capability of rapidly and [[efficiently]] adapting to changes. Recently agility has been applied e.g. in the [[context]] of agile software development and agile [[enterprise]].
