Potisaen J, Potisaen T, Srimuang T. Effect of BlazePod Training Program Optimization on Agilities and Leg Muscle Strength among Male Volleyball Players. JEPonline 2023;26(4):79-88. This study compared and associated the optimization of the BlazePod Training Program (BPTP) on the agility and leg muscle strength of 12 male volleyball players from the Rajabhat Mahasarakham University team in Thailand. The Southeast Missouri (SEMO) Agility Test and Vertical Jump Test were used to test the agility and leg muscle strength of the players. The training schedule according to the program was 3 days a week, 15 minutes each day for 4 weeks. Before and after the training, the participants' agility and leg muscle strength were measured. The physical characteristics of the subject group revealed an average age of 20.50 [+ or -] 1.17 years, an average weight of 67.92 [+ or -] 3.99 kg, an average height of 178.67 [+ or -] 3.39 cm, and a body mass index (BMI) of 21.28 [+ or -] 0.68 kg*[m.sup.-2]. Before training and 4 weeks after training, the mean change in physical fitness in agility was faster. It was found that statistically significant differences were compared at the .05 level for the players' agility and leg muscle strength tests. The predictive determination efficiency ([R.sup.2]) suggests that 89% of the variance in leg muscle ability of the male volleyball players can be attributed to their agility training following the BlazePod training program. Hence, the BlazePod training program can be used to improve physical performance by improving agility and leg muscle strength in volleyball players.
