Chris Beardsley from Strength & Conditioning presents several studies that suggest that Eccentric Overload Training can have significant impact on your change of direction (COD).

Chris Beardsley says that "Long-term training studies are still catching up with these biomechanical investigations, but we can already see that eccentric strength is able to improve force production preferentially in the deceleration phase of COD tasks, which may be key to enhancing agility. Hopefully, future studies will also investigate the impact of other specific strength qualities, such as maximum strength, horizontally-directed strength, and strength at long muscle lengths."
