<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the effects of zig-zag run and shuttle run training, as well as the differences in their impact, on the agility of male futsal athletes at SMP Negeri 11 Madiun. The method used was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest group design. The sample consisted of 30 athletes selected via total sampling, divided into two groups of 15 athletes each using an ABBA-pattern matching design. Agility was measured using the Illinois Agility Test. Data were analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests at a significance level of 0.05. The analysis results revealed that zig-zag run training ($t = 13.065$; $p = 0.000$) and shuttle run training ($t = 18.966$; $p = 0.000$) both exerted a significant effect on enhancing agility. However, the independent sample t-test showed no significant difference in effectiveness between the two training programs ($p = 0.333$). In conclusion, both training methods are effective in improving the agility of male futsal athletes, yielding relatively equal effectiveness.]]>
