Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine the speed adaptations among under-12 Penang National Football Development Program (NFDP) football players after undergoing six weeks of three different plyometric exercise training. 45 football players were recruited and randomly assigned to three different groups: i) countermovement jump group, ii) box jump group, and iii) double leg jump group. These 3 groups underwent their specific plyometric exercise training for six weeks. Before and after the six weeks of training, participants were assigned to 30m sprint test as a measure of speed. Paired t-test was used to compare the pre- and post-test data within groups while one-way Analysis of Variances (ANOVA) was used to compare the percentage of changes between all the three groups.
