Objective. The modern rugby game is fast, at a sustained pace, which requires a lot of physical effort. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 8-week plyometric training on sprint performance and agility in women's rugby 7 players. Methods. Twenty women's rugby players from the Romanian League I participated in this study. During the 8-week period, 2 workouts per week of plyometric lasting 60 minutes were applied. All subjects participated in three tests: 10 m distance speed, Illinois Agility Test and a force plate test for ground reaction times, before and after the application of the program. The processing of statistical data was done with the help of the SPSS V23 programme . In this research we used the t-dependent test to verify whether, after the period of application of the methods used in the experiment, significant progress was found or not. The research methods used are being represented by scientific documentation, experiment method, observation, measurement, statistical-mathematical method and the graphic one. Results. The results of the t-test show that the difference in averages has reached the threshold of statistical significance, p<0.001<0.05. The decrease in time in final testing shows a significant increase in the responsiveness and agility of athletes. Conclusions. The results of this study show that plyometric training can be an effective method of training to improve the sprinting and agility of an athlete.
