Brief Summary

Football requires high-intensity skilled movements like strength, power, speed, agility, and kicking for efficient performance. Plyometrics and sprint training can improve these skills, reduce injury risk, and impact gameplay. In football, short pre-seasons and limited games require short training protocols to maximize results. A study aimed to determine the comparative effect of plyometric and sprint training on reactive agility, kicking speed, and sprint speed in football players. 30 participants were randomly allocated into two groups: plyometric training and sprint training. Both groups showed significant improvements in reactive agility, kicking speed, and sprint speed, with the plyometric group showing more effect in reactive agility and kicking speed, and sprint speed showing more effect in sprint speed. This suggests that plyometric or sprint training, in addition to traditional football training, can be implemented during the season without affecting performance.
