ABSTRACT
The basis of this research is the absence of an effective training model in improving the agility of beginner badminton athletes. With the constraints faced, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of the circuit training model in improving the agility of beginner badminton athletes. This study used a quasi-experimental method involving 30 children aged 13-14 years. Ordinally Matching Pairing was used to divide the sample into two groups. The experimental group was given a circuit training model (Ladder Drill, 5x5 meter Shuttle Run, Zig-Zag Cone Run, Bounding, Single-Leg Hop Drill, Medicine Ball Throw + Sprint, T-Drill Agility Test, Reaction Ball Drill), while the control group was given a conventional training model. The collected data was then processed with t-test analysis using IBM SPSS V24. The results of the study conveyed that the use of the circuit training model had a positive effect on improving the agility of beginner badminton athletes, in contrast to the conventional group which only experienced a slower increase than the experimental group. Therefore, the approach with the circuit training model is effective to be applied to the beginner group. Based on the research results, the experimental group had a positive effect on the agility of beginner badminton athletes. Therefore, coaches need to design and implement a circuit training model for beginner athletes. Researchers understand that physical fitness is crucial in badminton, especially agility, such as the ability to change direction quickly and maintain balance when attacking or defending. Furthermore, implementing a circuit training model for beginner athletes helps improve agility and performance during matches.
