Explosive leg strength, agility, and speed training implicate the short and medium-short time abilities of football players in the development of multi-directional performance. The aim of this study is to examine the effects on 10, 20, 30 m sprint, Illinois agility, T-drill agility, and broad jump performance after 6 weeks of versatile explosive power, agility, and speed training in football players. Sixty-four professional football players were divided into two groups in the randomized control. Football players who participated in football training for 6 weeks (age= 16.90±0.39 years, height= 1.74±6.46 m, body mass= 62.56±8.10 kg), football players who did not train (age= 16.90±0.39 years, 1.74±6.87 m, body mass=62.09±8.27 kg) tested for performance. Explosive leg strength, agility, and speed were significantly reduced in duration after training, and there was an increase in distance in the broad jump. There were significant effect sizes between the control and experimental groups at 30 m sprint (d=1.68), agility times in Illinois agility (d=1.00), T-dril agility (d=0.52), and broad jump (d=0.83). Agility times of both experimental and control groups decreased. The performance effect of short-term intense training in professional football players seems great to develop. The data from this study shows that more experienced players perform better because they have been training and playing football for years.
