This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a plyometric training program on improving agility and speed among U-15 badminton athletes. Plyometric training, which utilises the stretch-shortening cycle to enhance neuromuscular performance, was implemented twice weekly alongside regular badminton practices. The population consists of 43 athletes from PB Bina Tangkis, Purbalingga Regency, in 2025. The sample consists of 15 athletes selected using purposive sampling by applying specific criteria to the athletes. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted using an Illinois Agility Run test (for agility) and a 30-meter sprint test (for speed). Normality testing indicated that the data were normally distributed; however, homogeneity testing revealed non-homogeneous data, necessitating the use of the Mann-Whitney test. The analysis results showed a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference between agility and speed test results. The mean rank speed was higher than the agility, suggesting that plyometric training had a greater effect on improving speed. These findings support the evidence that plyometric training is effective in enhancing athletes’ physical attributes, particularly speed and agility. However, since this study is non-experimental, further research with an experimental design is recommended to obtain stronger causal evidence.
