AB - Apparently no research has been done to examine the effects of plyometric training on the agility of college badminton players. Thus, this study examined the effects of 6-weeks plyometric training programme on the agility of college students. A total of 42 college co-curriculum badminton students, aged 18-20 years participated in this study. Cluster sampling was used to select the two groups of students and subsequently the groups were randomly assigned to the control (n=23, male=7, female=16) and experimental (n=19, male=8, female=11) groups. Both groups were trained according to the compulsory co-curriculum programme once a week for six weeks. Additional plyometric training was provided to the experimental group. Illinois Agility Test (IAT) was used to determine the effect of plyometric training during pre and post intervention on agility. Control and experimental groups showed significant improvement in the mean agility scores during the post test as compared with the pre test (t=-2.48; p=0.001; and t=-2.89; p<0.001 respectively). The experimental group exhibited greater improvement (7%) as compared to the control group (2.5%) (p=0.012) based on their pre test mean scores. In short, plyometric training improved the agility of college co-curriculum badminton players and plyometric training is recommended for training in improving agility in other sports as well.
