Abstract

Speed, endurance, and strength are three essential components in futsal performance that must be trained repeatedly in a structured and systematic manner, in addition to technical and tactical training. The purpose of this study was to examine whether plyometric training has an effect on the physical condition of junior futsal athletes, specifically in terms of speed, strength, and endurance. This study employed a quantitative method using a quasi-experimental approach. The research subjects consisted of 40 junior futsal athletes from four clubs. The research design applied was a one-group pre-test and post-test design. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software version 25. The results indicate that plyometric training significantly improves the physical condition of junior futsal athletes (speed, endurance, and strength), as evidenced by the research-based data analysis. Therefore, it can be concluded that plyometric training has a positive impact on junior futsal athletes.
