Agility was an important component that must be owned by a basketball player. The study aims was to determine influence of ladder drill exercise and shuttle run toward agility level among basketball players in Bosowa International School. The study was experimental research design using two group pre-test and post-test. The independent variables such as ladder drill exercise and shuttle run and dependent variable was agility level. The samples were 30 male students who met the inclusion criteria. The samples were selected by using purposive sampling technique. The samples were divided into two groups by using random sampling techniques. The data was measured using Illinois Agility Test and conducted within 4 weeks. The Mann-Whitney test found there was no influence of ladder drill exercise and shuttle run toward agility level among basketball players, p=0.575<0.05. Meanwhile, Wilcoxon test and paired t-test found there was significant influence of ladder drill exercise and shuttle run toward agility level, p=0.001.

Volleyball is a sport uses passing, serve, block and smash techniques that requires good strength and flexibility of limb muscles. The static and dynamic stretching are used as warming up forms. The study aims to determine static and dynamic stretching toward changes in limb muscles strength and flexibility among volleyball players. The study was used two types of group sample with pre-test and post-test group design. The study population was all volley players in volleyball student activity unit of Hasanuddin University. The samples were 20 volleyball players who met the inclusion criteria included new volleyball player in student activity unit, male and willing to be respondents in this study. The limb muscles strength was measured using leg dynamometer test and flexibility was measured using sit and reach test. The result showed significant differences between static and dynamic stretching toward changes in limb muscle strength, p = 0.00<0.05. The static stretching is proven to decrease muscle strength with difference between pre-test and post-test is -7.07, while dynamic stretching is proven to increase muscle strength with difference between pre-test and post-test was 2.89. There was significant difference between static and dynamic stretching for limb muscle flexibility, p=0.005<0.05. Meanwhile, static stretching is proven to increase the limb muscle flexibility with difference between pre-test and post-test was 5.40, while dynamic stretching proven to improve limb muscle flexibility with the difference between pre-test and post-test was 3.00. Therefore, static stretching was more influential in improve the limb muscle flexibility.
