Methods: Twenty-two aged 13 - 15 were randomly divided into two groups as (n = 11) group 11). All participants regularly completed or 10 units for 4-weeks addition training. Somatotype, composition, push-up & sit-up test, sprint, agility (Illinois hexagon), (vertical, squat, horizontal, plyometric) tests measured before end study. Results: (P 0.049 vs < 0.001), 0.20 squat 0.010 0.003) horizontal 0.028 0.014) significantly increased after In addition, 0.007) hexagon 0.001) group. At 4-weeks, mass, endomorphy ectomorphy scores lower limb group, mass index, mesomorphy quadriceps circumference increased. Conclusions: Short-term affect players, but more significant effect than Therefore, is recommended coaches who want gain short-term.
