Background: One of the most well-liked racquet sports worldwide is badminton. For hitting a shuttlecock in a game of badminton, agility and vertical leap are critical motor abilities. Throughout the game, badminton players must quickly and continuously modify their body position in response to the shuttlecock's movement. Rapid direction changes, vertical leaps, forward lunges, and various postural postures are all necessary during a badminton match. The ability to leap vertically and move with agility are crucial motor skills for hitting a shuttlecock at various points on the court.
Methodology: For this investigation, forty volunteers were gathered. Twenty participants in Group A received treatment using sagittal plane plyometrics. Twenty participants in Group B had frontal plane plyometric treatment. The intervention was given to both groups for a period of six weeks. The T-test was utilized to gauge agility, while the Sargeant Jump Test was used to gauge leaping ability. Within each group comparison, the paired "t" test was used, and outside of each group comparison, the unpaired "t" test was used. The results were obtained by the application of statistical methods and statistical software, SPSS
Result: According to the study's findings, among young college badminton players, Sagittal Plane Plyometrics is more successful than Frontal Plane Plyometrics for jumping performance and Frontal Plane Plyometrics is more effective than Sagittal Plane Plyometrics for agility.
Conclusion: This study concluded that in young college badminton players, Sagittal Plane Plyometrics is more successful than Frontal Plane Plyometrics for jumping performance and Frontal Plane Plyometrics is more effective than Sagittal Plane Plyometrics for agility.
