Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine how speed, agility and quickness training programs effect on gaining acceleration, agility and quickness to a tennis player. It is also to identify the effect of SAQ training on developing effective movement for tennis players. Design: In this work, an experimental design training program for 4 weeks is used by using quantitative strategies and quasi-experimental methods. Settings: One male club tennis player is randomly selected as subjects from the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) tennis club. Main Measure: The pre-test and post-test data were collected by measuring a 20-meter sprint (speed), a shuttle run (agility), and a jab step (quickness). These data were examined by comparing both pre-test data and post test data. Results: There were quite significant differences to the athletes in improvement of acceleration, decelerate and quickness during the test and during match even though the training was only for 4 weeks. Conclusion: showed that the Speed, Agility and Quickness (SAQ) training had an impact on tennis players.
