PERBEDAAN PENGARUH LATIHAN LATERAL FEET DRILL DENGAN T DRILL TERHADAP KECEPATAN DAN KELINCAHAN PEMAIN FUTSAL PADA CLUB SMP BALA KESELAMATAN PALU

Futsal is a high-intensity sport that requires speed and agility as essential physical components to support players’ performance; therefore, effective training programs such as lateral feet drill and Tdrill are needed to improve these abilities. This study aimed to analyze the effects of lateral feet drill and T-drill training on the improvement of speed and agility among futsal players at SMP Bala Keselamatan Palu. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a matching-only design approach. The samples were selected using a total sampling technique, consisting of 20 participants. The results showed significant improvements in the mean running speed of the LFD group (p-value < 0 xss=removed> 0.05). The findings also indicated that lateral feet drill training provided better improvements in running speed, although it was not substantially superior to T-drill training in enhancing agility. Therefore, both lateral feet drill and Tdrill training had significant effects on the speed and agility of futsal players at SMP Bala Keselamatan Palu.
