Background Speed is one of the most important physical components in badminton as it determines an athlete’s ability to respond to attacks and return the shuttlecock to areas that are difficult for opponents to reach. Athletes with optimal speed can control the game’s tempo and increase their chances of winning. One effective method to improve speed is plyometric training, which utilizes explosive muscle contractions to optimize strength and power. Objectives This study aimed to examine the effect of plyometric training on improving the speed of non-professional badminton athletes. Methods A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The participants were 15 non-professional female athletes aged 20–25 years, all with normal blood pressure and resting heart rates. The training program consisted of box jump, box shuffle, and squat jump, conducted three times per week for six weeks (a total of 18 sessions). Speed was measured before and after the intervention using the 30-meter running test. Data were analyzed using a paired-sample t-test with a 5% significance level. Results The results showed a significant improvement in mean speed from 4.49 ± 0.17 seconds to 4.14 ± 0.21 seconds (p ≤ 0.001). It is concluded that a structured plyometric training program effectively increases the speed of non-professional badminton athletes. Conclusion The contribution of this study is to provide empirical evidence for coaches and athletes that plyometric training can be integrated into physical conditioning programs as a strategy to optimize on-court performance.

Background Shooting accuracy is a fundamental skill in futsal, yet preliminary observations at State Junior High School 35 Pekanbaru showed that students still demonstrate low shooting performance, indicated by weak ball power, inaccurate ball direction, and poor foot–ball contact. These symptoms suggest inadequate leg muscle power and insufficient eye–foot coordination, which may inhibit students’ ability to perform accurate shots. Objectives This study aims to analyze the contribution of leg muscle power and eye–foot coordination to futsal shooting accuracy among students at State Junior High School 35 Pekanbaru. Methods This research employed a multiple-correlation design involving 15 students selected through total sampling. Leg muscle power was measured using the standing broad jump test, eye–foot coordination was assessed with a coordination test, and shooting accuracy was evaluated through a futsal shooting test. Data were analyzed using simple and multiple correlation techniques. Results The findings show that leg muscle power significantly contributes to shooting accuracy (r = 0.799; contribution = 63.84%). Eye–foot coordination also shows a significant contribution (r = 0.615; contribution = 37.82%). Simultaneously, both variables provide a substantial combined contribution to shooting accuracy (r = 0.800; contribution = 64%). Conclusion In conclusion, leg muscle power and eye–foot coordination are decisive determinants of students’ futsal shooting accuracy. The study contributes to educational practice by emphasizing the need for targeted physical and coordination training to support students’ motor skills development, thereby enhancing their confidence, engagement, and overall well-being through sports participation.
