This study aimed to describe how a plyometric training program can help young female athletes improve their competitive performance. The advantage of undergoing basic plyometric training is that it helps young female athletes to improve their productivity while also laying the basics for skill-related components in athletes. All skill-related components are agility, speed, power, coordination, balance, and reaction time. Explosive, in this specific situation, power is defined as the ability to convert physical energy into force at a rapid rate, with an emphasis on the speed of the action. Such actions necessarily require high-yield, short-duration energy production based on anaerobic energy systems and fast-twitch muscle fibers. Vertec measures the explosive power test. Vertec is a popular apparatus for measuring vertical jump ability. Before beginning basic plyometric training, a pre-test was administered. After 8 weeks of the program, post-test values were taken.
