Abstract

Plyometric is types of training that can boost agility performance. However, the effects of depth jump and countermovement jump plyometric training in agility performance are not yet fully established in the actual training field. Thirty female undergraduate students participated and randomly assigned into depth jump (DJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ). Both groups performed five sets of 20 repetitions jumps from an 18 – inch plyometric box jump for two days a week for six weeks. The Illinois agility test and T-test were measured pre- and post-test. Results showed, both groups indicated significant improvement after six week of DJ and CMJ in agility performance (p<0.05). However, DJ group shows greater improvement in agility performance compared to CMJ group in term of time (sec). The application of these findings will vary depending on athlete goals and specificity of the training program. Future studies with wearable resistance load and placement are required to validate training contentions.
