The aim of our work was to investigate the effect of specific plyometric training on changes in the level of speed skills and agility of football players. Our research proceeded as one group time-gradual experiment. Thirteen young football players, the members of OFK club Dunajská Lužná, participated in this study. 6-week plyometric training program was applied during the experimental period. At the same time the structure of sports performance has been recorded during control and experimental period to register the content of football trainings. 4 variables were used for measurements of speed skills and agility. Basic statistic methods and Wilcoxon T-test were used to process and evaluate the data. The results have shown positive effect of 6-week plyometric training on speed skills and agility.
