Abstract

Futsal is a sport characterized by fast-paced, dynamic play that demands explosive changes of direction. Agility is a key physical component that determines a player's effectiveness in transitioning between offense and defense. Initial observations of the female players at Club Madama Angels revealed limitations in agility, particularly in situations of rapid changes of direction. This study aims to analyze the effect of ladder drill training on improving the agility of futsal players at Club Madama Angels. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model. The sample consisted of 20 female athletes selected using a total sampling technique. The agility measurement instrument used the T-Drill Test. The ladder drill training program was administered for 6 weeks (17 sessions) at a frequency of 3 times per week and applied the principle of progressive overload. Data analysis used the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene's homogeneity test, and paired sample t-test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed an average pre-test time of 19.98 seconds, decreasing to 17.49 seconds in the post-test, with a difference of 2.49 seconds. The t-test showed a t-value of 12.84 with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) and a large effect size (Cohen's d = 1.82). It was concluded that ladder drills had a significant and effective effect on improving the agility of female futsal players at Club Madama Angels.
