Abstract

Abstract. In the Futsal sport. Biomotor components such as leg power are one of the components that need to be considered by the trainer in compiling an exercise program, especially exercise in physical conditions. If the athlete can bring out the maximum leg power, the athlete can help the team win the match. So the coach must choose the right exercises to increase the strength of the athlete, one of which is plyometric exercises including the lateral box jump and front box jump. The research objective was to determine the effect of the lateral box jump and front box jump on leg power. The method used is qualitative research with an experimental approach. The subjects used were 20 athletes who participated in the futsal UKM UNIPA Surabaya. The results showed that the lateral box jump and front box jump had a significant effect on leg power, but the box jump training provided a greater increase in increasing leg muscle power.
