Both experimental groups followed a 6-week training program, twice weekly, in addition to the regular volleyball training sessions, while the control group participated only in the regular volleyball training sessions. Assessments pretraining and posttraining included countermovement jump, 20-m sprint, and agility <jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic> test.\u00a0<jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Both experimental groups improved <jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>-test performance (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.005) but only agility ladder\u2009+\u2009multidirection speed drills group outperformed the control group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Agility ladder training programs combined with either plyometric or speed drills can improve change of direction performance in young female volleyball players but only the combination of agility ladder with multidirection speed drills is more effective than volleyball training per se. The small effectiveness of these protocols may be attributed to the short training period, or to the fact that training elements were combined in a single session. This hypothesis remains to be further investigated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/pes.2024-0024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,26]],"date-time":"2024-09-26T06:14:08Z","timestamp":1727331248000},"page":"248-257","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Agility Ladder Training Combined With Plyometric or Multidirectional Speed Drills: Short-Term Adaptations on Jump, Speed, and Change of Direction Performance in Young Female Volleyball Players"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2480-1390","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Eleni","family":"Bassa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education and Sport Science at Serres, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Serres, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1489-0628","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Afroditi C.","family":"Lola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Motor Behavior and Adapted Physical Activity, Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Melliou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Evaluation of Human Biological Performance, Department of Physical Education and Sport Science, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Prassa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Evaluation of Human Biological Performance, Department of Physical Education and Sport Science, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8338-1878","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Georgia","family":"Stavropoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Philosophy and Education, School of Philosophy, Aristotle University of Thessaloiki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nikolaos","family":"Ziogas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Motor Behavior and Adapted Physical Activity, Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"r1","series-title":"Int J Sports Med","first-page":"720","article-title":"The effects of agility ladders on performance: a systematic review","volume":"41","author":"Afonso J","year":"2020","unstructured":"Afonso J, Da Costa IT, Cam\u00f5es M, et\u00a0al.
