Background. Systematic observation is essential to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of this plyometric training on badminton athletes. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic reflection on the effectiveness of plyometric training in increasing the strength and agility of badminton athletes. Methods. This study used a systematic observation design by collecting data from relevant research articles through primary data such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and others. This review found that plyometric training significantly improved badminton athletes' muscular strength and agility. Results. Most studies showed significant improvements in vertical strength testing and reaction speed after a plyometric training program. Variations in response to training were also observed, depending on factors such as training intensity and athlete skill level. Plyometric training has significantly enhanced badminton athletes' strength and agility. Conclusions. These findings provide a solid foundation for coaches and practitioners to incorporate plyometric exercises into their badminton training programs. Furthermore, this study suggests the need for further research to explore additional factors that could influence training outcomes. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA).
